How does this hurt your resale value? If anything it should help it. You do not have to get the recall done in the cars. If you bring it to the dealership just tell them you don't want it. I've talked to some of the guys at Southpoint and that is what was explained to me.

Dealerships won't touch them right now becuase they feel like they won't be able to sell them.

The recall will be mandatory one it is all lined out. The dealership told me they are hearing Q3 2016 before a solution is finalized. My car will be well over 100k miles by then, so I'm curious about how they'll handle me.

Fortunately for me, I like my car and have no intention of selling it. It's perfect for what I need it for. I do feel bad for those who want to get rid of theirs though. They'll never get close to what it was worth before the scandal was announced.

I'm pretty torn on how I feel about this $500 visa. I personally don't feel like Volkswagen owes me any money at this point.

You're correct that I don't have to get anything done, but Texas has the right to not give me an inspection sticker or renew registration making it illegal to drive my car. Then I can't sell it easily because a buyer can't register it without the fix.

It's not that people "care that their emissions are higher", although I'm sure some hippies do. It's that it affects the legality to drive the car. The higher emissions make the car illegal to sell and register according to the EPA.

Although I do not think they are enforcing anything on drivers at the moment. The expectation is that they will when a fix is released.
