Tonight, Joe Mayer, the Cincinnati car salesman who stripped down his diesel 2010 Volkswagen Golf prior to his court-ordered buyback appointment, got a call from VW telling him not to bother bringing it to the dealership. Even after removing the doors, rear hatch, airbags and almost everything else from the car, Mayer hoped to sell it back to VW under the terms of the buyback. Turns out VW isn’t down with his approach to simplifying and adding lightness.
After yesterday’s story about Joe’s stripped VW, many wondered if Volkswagen was going to actually pay for the dismantled (but still running!) husk of a car, or if the company would just turn him away.
