I'm confused. You tried to get a buyback on your '15 TDI but you say you want another diesel. Was your intent to try and return the car for a refund due to the diesel emissions scandal or simply to trade up to a 2016?
In any case, there is currently a dealer hold by Audi on selling diesel C7 TDIs new or used. So today, they would not be able buy or trade your TDI since they cannot resell it.

My intent was to sell it back to the Dealer based on the Scandal.
The Dealer initiated the contact and offered up 2 options: Buy outright or buy and move into a ’16 with lower payments.
I didn’t get the price I was looking for and unfortunate for them I’m only interested in Diesels.

Redd, I see it's back to the the "shouting" word CAPS again. Good book authors, journalists and bloggers somehow manage to get their points across without resorting to word caps. When i see this in a post, I feel like the author is talking down to me, that I won't get it otherwise. Trust that your readers will understand what you are writing without needing that extra "emphasis".

Before the sales hold, the dealer wanted your diesel back to resell to another buyer and sell you a 16 gasser.
I am in a similar situation - waiting for the sales hold / freeze for the 3.0 TDI to be lifted.
The dealer I have been dealing with keeps calling saying he can sell me a gasser including the SQ5 but I tell him the diesel is what I am interested in.
I guess the dealer has to eat too....
I feel sorry for the dealer & sales associates during this emissions scandal....

bought my '14 (now I wish I'd leased it)- love the vehicle- have had many Audis over the years since my 1980 5000S... got a '88 quattro for a great deal thanks to 60 Minutes. Guess I'll be driving the Q for a while and hope most of this blows over.
For sure, I will NOT be taking it to the dealer for any service (I do my own oil and filter, and fuel filter changes already) as I don't want them doing any kind of reflash!!
Pray I don't need any waranty work or they'll probably reflash it even if I tell them not to...

Too soon to know how this will shake out of course, but if the EPA gets their way, there may be no choice in having the "fix" performed. States could be forced to require proof of completion for owner registration. Who knows, anything is possible.

American companies are doing this too. Just for example, the next time you see a Ford F150 Ecoboost, walk up and wipe your finger on the inside of the tailpipe. It will come out charcoal black. Even trucks that actually meet EPA standards do not do that.
It is all a matter of who gets caught?
And, just like the stupid "no child left behind" nonsense, when it becomes about "passing the test" rather than why you need to be able to pass the test, it is human nature to just figure out "how to pass the test?"

My thinking as well.
