Unless I'm missing something, many of the lower priced versions of these dieselgate cars have 65K on them already. An additional 35K of warranty is not enough to justify the purchase of a $12,000 car.
My last diesel, a 2006 jetta TDI with the PD engine, left me stranded 3 times with major issues. The third time, I advertised the car the same day. It was a wonderful car to drive, with good response, excellent MPG and a very pleasing feel. But I had so many "squawks" with that car, from dragging rear brakes, to outright transmission failure, I finally gave up.
