Diesel Owners Fear Plummeting Value Of Their Cars

An older model diesel car enters a crusher at a scrap car yard on March 19, 2018 in Hamburg, Germany. Diesel car owners in Germany are fearing the value of their cars will plummet even further following a recent court ruling that allows German cities to ban diesel cars as a measure to bring down levels of air pollutants. Diesel car values took an earlier hit following the diesel emissions scandal of Volkswagen and other carmakers, in which illegal software hid the real-world level of pollutants produced by diesel cars in testing conditions. Japanese automaker Toyota announced at the recent Geneva autoshow that it will stop selling diesel cars in Europe altogether. (Footage by Alexander Koerner/Getty Images)
