    Will wait a while, as I consider residual value already at low. A few months longer will only make a smaller difference, compared
    to VW good, no prob, trade in now. Yes, I too consider MB. But at this moment, I think their trade in offers may not be high.

    I think it came down to good timing. But looks like that new MB GLC is worth waiting for now.

    I'd hold your horses wrt selling your VW:

    It’s not just VW: Official tester claims four more diesel car giants break toxic emissions limit
    - Researchers found BMW, Ford, Mazda and Mercedes cars emitted levels of nitrogen oxides up to seven times the legal limit
    - Volkswagen engines polluted 35 per cent less than comparable cars
    - Findings suggest other manufacturers have found ways to pass the tests

    Might be available at Shell service station.
    So if cars need to be modified with cat converter,
    interesting problem obtaining Adblue

    Probably best to check online first. A quick google of "Adblue in Australia" gives a number of relevant hits. I think Shell Sutton Forest is the closest to you.

    I'd think as demand increases so will the number of outlets, in the same way that they've increased the number of diesel pumps in the last 5 years. Lets face it, it would have been useless to build Tesla Supercharge stations 12 months ago.

    The thing is that there is not a single in-service emission limit anywhere. They are comparing the limit for running the official drive cycle with running the vehicle anywhere and under any load conditions. The drive cycle limits were NEVER expected to be used as a limit for in-service use.

    Just wait until they test petrol engined cars as well.
