Hyundai and Volvo are both offering special deals for owners affected by Volkswagen's diesel emissions settlement. (see table at end of article to view qualifying vehicles)
Hyundai is offering Friends & Family Plus pricing to current and previous owners of a 2.0-liter TDI involved in the recent class settlement. The deal includes a discount off dealer invoice, plus $1,250 bonus on top of any current factory offers.
Volvo is offering a free 5-year, 50,000 mile "Safe and Secure" extended warranty valued at $1,700. In addition to the warranty, it includes complimentary maintenance, free roadside assistance, and wear & tear coverage for brakes, rotors and wiper blades.
Volvo is also offering a $750 credit and 7-year/100,000 mile warranty on certified pre-owned Volvos.
As always, if you're shopping for a new car right now, I recommend you use TrueCar and Edmunds Price Promise to quickly see the best deals being offered in your area.
