Do you really think VWoA will crush these cars?

There will be a lot of happy drivers in Africa, Mexico will get a few. Some cleaver individual will approach VW and buy them up wholesale to resell, container after container are filled here in the States and sent overseas, weekly.

Sounds like the ethnics will be getting them I guess

In order to ship the vehicles out of the country, they first have to be fixed. To date, fixes have only been approved for 2015s and late model 3.0 V6s. So no, they aren't sending containers of them overseas weekly, and no, they can't send containers of them overseas unless they fix them.

According to one thread, the crushing has already started. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=474999

Idk, Ward always seemed like a savvy businessman though I don't recall ever knowing what he actually did.

Maybe he was a used VW salesman

I bought new wheels/tires for my 04 Jetta and put the crappy wheels and bald tires on the Passat before turning it in. I bought new 16" Hakkapeliitta snows (on Tiguan wheels) last year so I have 2 full sets of nice wheels/tires that I kept (19" Audi wheels). I pulled every accessory I purchased other than the H&R springs, foglight wiring harness and the custom rear fog LEDs.
Buyback rep never looked at the tires or opened the hood. Took pics of the miles and several shots around the car.
