My apologies for not having read all the way through the settlement documents, or this thread. Just wondering if anyone can quickly answer my confusion on this simple point -- now that we are past January 31, 2017, do we have to wait for the late fall (or perhaps early 2018) for a fix to be announced before we can get any compensation? I'm thinking about trading in my 2014 Q5 TDI this spring, but wouldn't want to lose out on the $.
BTW -- maybe this has already been discussed, but if one does lose out on compensation by selling now, and your buyer gets all of it, then we should all go out and buy up TDIs. The sellers who want out now probably would/could not insist on getting their proper share of the future compensation. And one might get lucky and cash in big if VW/Audi can't deliver the fix.

Does anyone know if there is a way to check whether a vehicle has already been registered or not or if a fix has been approved as to the 2.0's? When I registered our Q7 I did it twice, once to my email and once to my girlfriend's and I did not get any sort of prompt the second time about it having already been registered to an email address or anything.
When registered our Q5, we got an email from VW/Audi/Porsche notifying us that we are registered.
To verify, we tried to re-register and were informed that we already had.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Canadian Update?
Hi gang,
I bought a Q5 TDI October 15th 20q6, just weeks before all the ship hit the fan. I already have 70,000 kms on it. ( I travel quite a bit for work ) hoping someone on here has some idea of what's going on in Canada? I called Audi Canada when the announcement was made a few weeks back in the US they told me to call back in a couple weeks. I called again today and they said they know nothing? Very frustrating...... anyone know anything I may not?
thanks.

If the car is good, and you are content to go forward with the settlement looming, go ahead. Your settlement amount depends upon the previous owner/lessor status and, of course, you must accept the fix to get any money.

You cannot buy out the lease and transfer from lessor to buyer status. That is prevnted by the settlement terms. You can buy out the lease and still receive lessor $$, tho. On the other hand, if you're considering purchasing a different TDI vehicle, you would be eligible for the settlement. Unfortunately, prices on used TDI's have gone up around 20% since the settlement terms were announced. This is not yet reflected in the KBB values but do a search online and you will see that reality.
