If you want to defend him based on his/your interpretation of the settlement, please go ahead.

If he takes this to court, he’ll lose badly...

Holy crap someone actually read the comment I linked rather than ask me the same question already answered there.... THANK YOU!

Can you explain to me how VW “screwed him over”

Technically, according to the exact letter of the agreement, that is inaccurate. It is, however, clear that what you said was the intent of the agreement, and this gentlemen’s interpretation of it is obviously taking advantage. This is why legal documents are usually very long and specific.

First when I called him an asshole it is because he is, plain and simple.

I have already discussed How VW “screwed over” their customers.

Never said he was a Robin Hood. This is a purely self-serving endeavor for him.

So, this will probably go down to the lawyers.

VW defined the terms of their buyback agreement. I won’t bother repeating them, but suffice it to say that Mr. Mayor’s car absolutely does run under its own power and, therefore, is legally required to be bought back.

My High School was in the South Bay area of Los Angeles, a Suburban area close to all the richer beach cities, but still had working class families, so there was a mix of demographics and the School’s population reflected that. Our lot was not senior only, but it was limited, so spots were assigned on a lottery…

Honestly, I think this guy is both legally and morally in the clear. I think VW, objectively, did at least a fairly decent job of doing right by its customers, understanding that we could argue that all day.

So, here’s a simple plea: for the sanity of those of us in cars that don’t have a more complicated infotainment system with hundreds of satellite options,please shut up and play music.

I love it when people talk (or make a video) like they are subject matter experts on a matter they have, at best, a vague understanding of....

So the “Pay cash for everything”, as you said, is technically the most financially responsible way, when you to the end math; you will net the best deal by not borrowing money or leasing a car. But as you have pointed out, it’s never quite that simple. We borrow money so we can have things in a realistic timescale,…

After I read this, I soon realized, though, that Neil is a distraction to himself. He has to fill his stomach with food, clean himself, figure out where to sit his pompous self down, and try to get his own ass through the crazy downtown Seattle traffic.

HAHAHA!!!

I would be interested to get some average metrics on how people are making out here based on what they have, what they initially paid, etc. People pay different prices for cars and take out very different kinds of loans (Though I would argue the latter is less relevant). So nine grand on top of some 25k-35k car…

The ethics part of this is interesting, as I guess it depends on your point of view. Legally, all these parts strippers are in the clear. Ethically, it really depends on how you value people’s time and sense of environmental responsibility. VW is paying well (I guess?) for buybacks, and that is good. But there seem to…
