From the court:
Settlement Payments to Owners
The tables below show the range of possible payment amounts to owners under the Class Action Settlement. The amount you will be offered depends on whether you choose a Buyback or an Approved Emissions Modification and your car’s model year, model, trim level, and factory options.
If you choose the Buyback option, you will receive your car’s September 2015 Clean Trade Vehicle Value, plus a cash payment, ranging from a minimum of $5,100 to nearly $10,000, depending on your vehicle. If you choose the emissions modification option, you will receive a free modification plus the same cash payment. The range of total cash payments is summarized in the chart below.
Your payment will be adjusted if your car has higher or lower than standard mileage when you bring it into a dealership to participate in the settlement program. If your payment is subject to a mileage adjustment, the amount you receive may be different from what is shown below, but not less than $5,100.
These tables assume that you owned your car when the emissions accusations became public on September 18, 2015 and that you still own it. If you no longer have your car or if you purchased it after September 18, 2015, then you will be offered a lesser amount, assuming you qualify for the settlement.
Beginning July 26, 2016, you can see the exact Buyback and Approved Emissions Modification payments for your car by visiting www.VWCourtSettlement.com and entering your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), mileage, and other required information.

I'm pleased with the buyback terms. I will replace my 2015 Passat TDI SEL with a Mercedes E250 BlueTec 4MATIC, which will be a very good upgrade in terms of comfort and ride quality, though with some loss of mileage efficiency.
Why did some of you pay so much for your Jetta - my 2015 SEL, standard trans was just under $25K out the door in April 2015 and that included $400 in options(mats etc). I had the windows tinted and had a clear bra put on at an additional cost of around $500. Has only 12K miles. I planned on keeping this thing until the wheels fell off. I will probably turn it back and hope the new TDI that comes out is half as good or look for one used down the road.
