    Read that second Jalopnik piece the other day. The guy says as he see's it, the cars only have to be “operable”.

    I know VW are accepting crash damaged cars, so why not these? :pac:

    And to think VW didn't even give European buyers as much as a can of Coke as compensation and got away with it.

    Move along pixieheads, nothing to see here.
    That's the modus operandi for Germany Inc and you know what? It works.
    People still buy VW stuff no probs.

    The overwhelming consensus on this forum too was that customers should simply suck it up if I remember correctly. And I do remember correctly. VW are to the motor industry as Apple are to Tech. Cultish.

    Denials of return or not, there'd be a decent market in returning ones sans parking sensors / update nav systems, keeping cars with electric leather seats and selling owners an 'upgrade' taking their cloth seats back for the car , upgrading cars to xenons / interior colour changes / damaged bumpers.

    pretty smart way of gaming the system.
