You need to read the details carefully. I'm in the exact opposite position as you. In this case, you get the buyback or repair AND one half of the cash compensation and the former owner gets the other half of the compensation. See the link to the PDF I posted just above and find the compensation tables.
I registered, I guess I will find out, anything is a bonus for me. I almost kept it just to wait this out, probably should have. Oh well is what it is.

Yes I have received about 4 or so e-mails stating almost the same thing. I just registered today and now I got a confirmation e-mail as well.

I am assuming you sold yours? That is the situation I am in, I find the documents confusing. I had a 2015 Q7 TDI, I traded it about 8 months ago, I bought it prior to the recall so I qualify, but it is difficult to figure out exactly what we qualify for. I am clear that is half, the new owner qualifies for the other half, but I can not tell exactly what it is half of? I registered, I guess I will find out, anything is a bonus for me. I almost kept it just to wait this out, probably should have. Oh well is what it is.

Best I can analyze it you become eligible for the fix or buyback but do have to share the retribution 50/50 with the former owner if he registers for it before May 1st. I keep wondering if I should be searching now for a gen2 to replace our gen1.

Anyone looking to buy a Gen 2 TDI right now is rolling the dice on future performance, compensation and reliability. You could make out quite well, or be disappointed. There's no clear answer at the moment. All I know is my 2014 TDI that is about to come off lease is worth about $8k less than it would have been without the scandal. Needless to say, since I won't be treated as an owner if I bought the car, I'm not keeping it any more. I find it very frustrating that if a new individual were to buy the car after I return it, he or she would receive more compensation and be treated as an owner, where I do not have that option. BS carve-out that is going to save VW AG a bundle. Well done by their lawyers.
