No. Everyone gets 1042 miles of free depreciation per month starting September 2015. If you drive more than that, then you’re responsible to pay the difference. If you drive less than that, you get a credit. It’s the only fair way to administer the system without further complicating it.
Each car’s default value is…

Seems the videographer did know how screens are shaped, since most people in China would be watching said video on their phones, where it fits just fine in portrait mode. Blame your own reliance on dumb desktop video players for making it postage-stamp sized with black bars for it being hard to watch.
Nonsense. Fuel economy has changed dramatically. If the 2016 only had to develop 220hp and only had to pull 3300 pounds of car and only had to drive the front wheels like it did 27 years ago, the fuel economy would nearly double to around 30/40.
There’s no other way to paint it. It is just a rental fee. Walking away from a lease without paying any early termination penalties is the same thing as a buyback, because you don’t own anything to sell back to VW.
But for the sake of argument, let’s say your numbers are accurate (which they are not, at all), and I paid $25,000 for the car.
So they’re going to offer me the value of the car when it was only TWO months old with a few thousand miles on it...and additional compensation??
I fully intended to keep the car when the lease was up, so am I getting some of my money back when I cancel my lease?

Excess gelatin consumption by ODing on gummy candies causes pretty bad constipation. You’re thinking of the relentlessly destructive sugar-free ones, which do the opposite.

No...the speed is additive. Simple vectors. 150-> <-70 is a closing speed of 220mph.
The impact damage may indeed be less severe than hitting the same car if it’s parked, because of inertia lightening the load. The car coming at you will try to stay in motion and transfer some of that kinetic energy in other…
Who said anything about a stationary object?
Hitting a stationary object head on doesn’t increase impact speed. When you’re going 150mph and another object like, you know, a car on the other side of the road, is coming at you at 70mph, then yes, the impact speed is additive. Pesky physics. 150+70=220. Pesky math.
its not hte govts job to keep people safe from themselves or eachother.

Dealer trade in CAN BE horrible. It can also be the easiest way into the best deal for a new car. Most of the time, KBB trade-in value is within about $2500 of KBB private party value, and if you can get an extra $1500 off the new car because the dealer is going to flip the used one at a higher profit, then frankly…
So then neither is it haggling if you comment that his competitor down the street quoted $1,550, and you’ll be doing business there as you walk out.
Are you perhaps confused about what “persistent” means, despite your curious decision to include an elementary definition of it?
If you’re not engaging in a multiple-round exchange over a period of time, there’s nothing to persist at doing. If the audio shop guy tells me that the speakers are $1600 and I say, “could…
For the vast majority of purchases and transactions, there is no value in either side to waste the effort. Major appliances, vehicles, real estate are sometimes worth it if the end result is actually an appreciable difference. Spending an hour with a cashier at Target trying to talk down a $99.95 Cuisinart blender is…
Ew, no. Seat design has absolutely no German influence in it. There’s a reason Chrysler and the Koreans started cribbing German lines and proportions. VW would be far better off with just returning to its pre-Americanized roots than with cheaping out on Seat faces.
