Volkswagen car owners might find helpful the following BBC Business report useful:

Drivers of Volkswagen diesel cars – watching the emissions scandal engulfing the company – will naturally want to know whether they have bought a car with the performance they expect.

Add to that worries about the original cost of the car, and its value should they come to resell it, and the effect of this scandal becomes clearer in terms of pounds and pence.

And yet, absolute financial clarity remains a distant prospect.

Experts are divided as to whether the price of second-hand VWs will be affected. Despite lawyers circling, there are not enough details to conclude whether drivers will, or won’t, have a claim for compensation.

What are your thoughts on this matter? Do you or someone you know drive one of these Volkswagen models (including an Audi model): Jetta, Beetle, Golf and Audi A3?
