I have a 2012 Passat TDI SEL. Are any of you joining the class action suites going around?
KBB values for the post-EPA vehicles have gone down quite a bit since he scandal broke so unless you're thinking about wholesaling out a 4 year old car and can shoulder that financially, you might as well just keep driving it. As far as I know all the recalls are emission-related and not safety-related like the GM ignition one.

From what I gather, the value's so low that, if you don't own one and were in the market, it might be worth going after one.
I'm considering it; my '01 ALH is pushing 200K and while the engine's fine, I'm a bit nervous about the rest of the car (my daily driver). On the other hand, a big part of me wants to hold out for a TDI that uses urea injection, since I gather that urea injection means the DPF doesn't have to regen as often, which should help with fuel economy. Hmm...
Interesting! I had been under the impression that VW was going to start using urea injection in either 2015 or 2016 (never heard a final verdict before the scandal hit), but that none of the '09-'14 cars had it. But, since I want a wagon, I've been following the Jetta more closely than the Passat...maybe that's the difference. I wish they'd re-introduce the Passat wagon...if they sold a Passat wagon TDI 6 speed, I'd go buy one tomorrowMy 2012 uses the urea injection. I plan to keep driving it until VW gets it together. I bought it to be my last car, maybe. Might still be, with the mileage people are getting out of the TDI motors.
Oh wow. I stand corrected. I didn't know those were in addition to the emission issues.I have had 3 safety related recalls on my 2012 Passat TDI SEL since the emissions scandal started.
