does anyone think there might be some deep discounts on volkswagen diesels in light of the recent scandal?

I dont think so, there is a fix in the works. They will pay there fines and will business as usual...

their sales probly won't be affected as much they might loose a few sales but people like the vw diesels for affordability power comfort and space. they are the best in the market to date. But i would keep some eyes on the new Chevy cruise diesels they are going to be on par with the vw's soon enough
