Volkswagen Diesel Prices Down 16%
November 5, 2015
Prices on Volkswagen diesel vehicles have dropped almost 16 percent since the news of emissions scandal -- aka "dieselgate" -- broke back in September, according to a press release issued by Kelley Blue Book.
News of the scandal also impacted the average auction prices for Volkswagen gasoline-powered vehicles, lowering them by 2.9 percent.
If you don't care about the scandal or environment (Santa won't be getting you any gifts this year), it may be a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. However, prices could drop even further, so there's always that risk.
To track prices on new and used Volkswagen vehicles in your area, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and Edmunds Price Promise
