VW owners stripping their cars before returning them due to Dieselgate

The funniest ones are the absolute idiots on the VW forum that willingly sold their cars private party after the scandal hit and are upset that they're only getting half the restitution money.
I browse the tdi forum once or twice a week looking for more info on the ea288 fix, but have to leave after about 4 minutes because of the stupidity.
Just to help clarify how much of a douche that guy in the golf is...these are the buyback amounts for his 2015. The base price for that car was $18k.
If his was just a base manual with no options (which appears to be likely) and he paid full MSRP + taxes that's around $19.3k OTD. If he added on the maintenance package maybe it was $20k.
He gets to sell it back for $22,700. On top of that, he received the $1000 in loyalty cash that VW sent out about a year ago. So VW paid him $3500+ to drive that car for a year and a half.
There's a small mileage adjustment, but only above 12k miles per year
You really have to be a shitty person to do something like that when you've been given such a gift.

My wife paid $27.5k for her Passat and the buyback is $30,100. Lol. That's at 2 years old with 30k miles (which is where it will be in spring when we're deciding what to do with it).
The place i traded the guy was formerly from a VW dealership so he was very hard to argue up as he knew the off lease prices. They ultimately drive what dealers will pay for a used car. He could get 20 just like the one we traded in for that price or less. Since it is a lease they had made enough money on the car to be able to sell them less and therefore it drove the market down a bit.
And yes I agree the Beetle is more of a niche car and goes to a certain buyer. My wife loved it and I honestly didn't mind the style of the latest generation. Very spacious inside as well.

not really, it's vw's car with them holding onto it for a little really. if this was really "their car" would the destroy the fuck out of it? that person is shitty
nuh ugh no no no its not the owners car its vw's...... 
was the vehicle not purchased? if it was vw vehicle still why would they have to pay to get their own vehicle back? wouldnt vw just confiscate them or repo them if they still owned them?
youve said some dumb shit but this ranks up there.
these are still vw's vehicles
umm no thats why they need to buy out the owners to get them back as punishment from the diesel gate mess.
ps blame russia......

Well then the banks own them then.
Once they hit the dealer lots VW sure in the fuck doesnt own them anymore....
hit like above because yes i agree some may have hell most likely have a loan against them point is VW for damn sure doesnt own them as dickmint is claiming.......
If they refuse the buy out id put the bitch back together and keep driving it then what?
update to that article shows a letter directly from VW doesnt say a damn thing about them being stripped. Screw that dealer i hope the guy wins the case.
Hes just playing by the rules....
Until VW themselves say they wont accept a running albeit stripped vehicle the dealership can get bent.
They're still destroying something they don't own. I agree vw doesn't own them till they. It them back. Douches gonna douche though.Well then the banks own them then.
