This car if I read it right, was a 2015 model..... So chances are if there ever is a fix, this car would be one of the ones to get it. Not to mention the low miles.
So right or wrong, and not that it makes it less right or more wrong, but stripping a low miles 2015 model verses stripping a high miles 09 model ( that IS very likely to get crushed ) is surely more wrong as far as hurting VW goes.
Myself I could care less. If he gets to turn in his car today and gets his money today, awesome.
I will say that there is a chance he doesn't get his money. And I will also say there is a chance that no matter if he gets the money or not, a car this stripped out may cause issues for those who attempt to do the buyback at a later date and are missing some parts. We will just have to see..... Yet another reason I personally wanted to get my buybacks done ASAP, just to get them done before any changes could be made to the terms.
I don't bet often, but if I were to bet, I would bet VW DOES take this car back and gives him his full BB money. And I say that because we ALL know it is wrong to try to turn in a stripped car.... And it is just as wrong to have gone out after 6-28-16, after we knew all the details of the court case and the FTC tables were published, and purchase up cars on the cheap to turn in for profits... Which several of us did, myself included, and are getting full BB money paid on these cars. In alot of those cases we ( the people who ran out after 6-28 to snatch up TDI's ) not only took advantage of VW, we also took advantage of uninformed sellers that probably would not have sold the cars so cheap if they knew that in 6 months they would have gotten another 5-10 grand more for their car.
So yeah, it will be interesting to hear whether his BB goes smoothly. And if it does, great, might be alot more people to do the same.
I just know I asked the BB guy at my dealer when I turned in my first TDI, about taking parts off the car before I turn in the 2nd one, and he told me flat out NO.... Told me he was not going to put himself on the hook for accepting a car like that. He said he would have to take pictures and send to his supervisors and let them make the decision. That alone could cause a delay and result in having to reschedule your appointment, and could end up being rejected all together resulting in you having to fight your fight... which would not be a easy task in my opinion.
