"NEW" TDI's available from local dealer
Interesting... just received an email from my local dealer offering 20% off their inventory of "New" TDI cars... When you go to the website, they have inventory of 2015 and 2016 NEW TDI cars available.
I would assume that these have all been "fixed" and are no longer part of any buy-back program?

Yes they are available now. Audi is funding the 20% off MSRP. All of these fixed TDIs will get a 10 year or 120000 mile warranty on emissions related components and the engine long black assembly. We just bought a fixed 2015 Q7 to replace our 2011 that is being bought back. The performance of the fixed TDI seems fine. Very little difference. I hardly notice. IMHO the 20% off is not enough though. If you needed to sell it in a year it would be a 4 year old low mileage vehicle. If you keep it 5 or more years and drive it lots of miles it makes sense.
We bought a fixed used one with 38000 miles but new brakes and tires. Price was nearly 40% off MSRP.

That's because you haven't driven it long enough to see the huge increase in the amount of DEF consumption over time. If you don't find this off-putting or inconvenient then it is a non-issue, however that will be the big difference with fixed cars....lots of DEF consumption that will require a lot more DEF fill-ups.

I will report when the AdBlue needed message comes on. Only 2000 miles in so far.

In industries such as construction or agriculture DEF consumption in motors is usually referenced by a %....for example, my John Deere combine with a 9.0L consume 2% of the diesel usage in DEF (as a ration). So 100 gallons of diesel burned consumes 2 gallons of DEF. (FYI the machine consumes about 16 gallons per hour on average but under full load can consume 21 gallons per hour).
Any idea of what your % of DEF consumption was on the TDI vehicles before the fix? I'm just curious.

They were doing this at Audi of Silver Spring a few weeks ago but I think most of the TDI cars might be gone now since there was such a huge discount and then employee discounts on top of that. I think most of the employees took advantage of it. Worth a shot to check though.
