Volkswagen has spent more than $7.4 billion (£5.2 bn) to buy back around 350,000 diesel vehicles after the emissions scandal.

They're being stored at sites across the US.

I wonder what they'll end up doing with them all :undecided: maybe re-flash the ECU's with the correct data and sell off cheap to reclaim some of their loses.

I would have thought they would have sold them by now if that was their plan, you can sell anything if the price is cheap enough.
