TDIs up here have never sold for much anyway, if anything dieselgate will improve resale here amoung rednecks because it sticks it to the man.
What may help resale is the sudden price equality on diesel to unleaded at the pump. In California there never has been a big gap, but up here in the north diesel was consistently $.50-.75 a gallon more then unlead. Now it is actually a little less. That is why I got rid of my Duramax, the actual cost per mile was never as good as my previous gas trucks. I just wonder if this price equality is here to stay or temporary because of the poor economy.
