My MKII Q7 is about to arrive. I have a 2009 Q7 TDI. The original plan was to trade it in. In light of the new developments around the TDI and buybacks, would you hang on to it and wait for the buyback or would you trade it in. The dealer was offering $13k for a PP with 108kmiles in fair-good condition.

Why kind of comments are people submitting? Mine is that if a recall option becomes available, I'd like an option of that or buyback depending on my preference. Point being that if recall substantially changes performance of the car I should not have to live with it.

And, as A6forMoi states...
Having seen this from the other side, it won't matter a lot. When the court or government looks at the public comments they likely will put anything similar into a category of "Commenter believes buyback should be available, and Audi should provide fuller compensation" or something to that effect - and then there will be a total number of such comments.

Reading the comments from you gen2 TDI owners and your concerns that you will not be offered a buyback does make me empathize with you. Your concerns certainly are valid. I will however point out one possible scenario that you have not mentioned. When all of the gen1 vehicles are gone including the Passatts and A6s and Touareg's. if the performance of the gen2 vehicles is not too negatively affected by the fix, those vehicles could be in very high demand by those of us who can't get a new one. I did not purchase our vehicle because of it's clean image. I do not feel threatened by those who point out I drive a dirty diesel. I bought it because it's performance fit my needs. After I finally do turn it in, if that's what happens I will be looking for another.
