VW lawsuit nonsense

Retard yourself!

Anger has subdued BTW. I'm just pissed at the chancing graspers that litter this isle.

My dad lost about 2k off of the value of his fabia when he traded it in, purely on this. He didn’t want another vag group car after this and also the way Skoda behaved towards him during his ownership. Would you begrudge him his lost 2k?

Can he actually show that the trade in offer was revised by £2k the day the announcement happened?

I owned a 2001 Bora TDi Sport back in 2005 or so. Where’s my fucking money? I deserve compensation just for putting up with the handling and ride.

Met someone last week who's just set up something similar here. One to watch for me.

Because you own a petrol Audi?

One with well documented carbon build up problems... (I've no idea how or if Audi addressed the problem with owners).




How long until we can claim from our parents for being born?

It's a difficult one, because the market dictates that a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Therefore was the dealer taking advantage of your Dad? Could he have got more money elsewhere? How did he know that it was really worth £2k more beforehand?

And I know this sounds obtuse, but I don't mean it to be. It's the market that dictates what your Dad's car was worth, not VW.

I owned a Rover Coupe VVC back in 2000 when BMW announced it was ditching Rover Group. The value of my car went down because there was concern about unsupported cars, lack of spare parts etc etc etc. Do BMW owe me any money?

Taking this to its nth degree, leasing companies should be able to claim compensation as well, as the guaranteed final value of the leased car would be lower than originally calculated, and there would be a gap between the payments and the end value of the car.

Or we could all just examine ourselves for the presence of testicles, accept that life has risks and challenges and just move the fuck past it all

I remember a security guard at work had just bought a brand new Rover 400 around the same time for approx £15k. 8 months later he wanted to chop it in for a Megane and was offered £6.5k for it.

Retard your anger, Sir - I was talking about litigation finance. Law firm fund the proceedings for a healthy chunk of any award.

They could call it ‘No win, no fee’

Only proof would be the trading dealer that mentioned the prices being lower than they should be. This was sometime after the announcement though as he hung on to it for a while, I think it was 3 years old with only about 15k on it. It was only after an injector failed (it had needed a new steering column because that also failed 6 months earlier) he decided to get shot of it.
Be interesting to see the cap guide for the months before and after announcement, surely that’s where the proof lies?

Call me cynical, but surely dealers taking those cars in as part ex just saw an opportunity to lowball customers with a plausible story?
