So why bother reading about something, you neither own or like?
My guess is he's what occasionally pesters usenet groups, a troll.
Usually best to ignore them than start a flame war. Remember the PhD
from back east.
Matt,
I guess I could ignore your comments above, but I would like to
respond. To
make a reference to the Herr Doktor was, in my opinion, a pretty low
blow,
and uncalled for.
I do not know the definition of a troll, and don't really care to
know. If
my remarks seem to "pester" you, I am sorry, you have a right to your
feelings. There was absolutely no intention on my part to start a
flame war.
What are your intentions?
I do not see any profit in labeling.
Here's to hoping we can all continue to have open and honest dialog.
Wade,
My understanding of troll is someone who combines qualities of the
mythical creatures who live under bridges and cause trouble and the act
of trolling by sending baiting comments just to provoke more comments.
Your earlier posts seemed to follow this pattern especially when you
mentioned that you don't own a van but didn't explain why (until
later.)
Admittedly, the reference to the PhD guy might've been out of line, but
it did appear that your posts were heading that direction. Unlike the
PhD guy, who was just plain stupid (remember his insistance about the
existance of airbags?), you seem to know about cars and such.
Now that I know why you're not a VW owner, I can certainly understand.
I've had bad experiences with dealers, but nothing like what you
describe. It's peculiar that both VW and their dealer were so
disdainful of your situation. Does that dealer still have the
franchise? Seems that VW was getting bounced from one outlet to another
around here for a while.
Have you pursued this legally? Maybe a well written letter from an
attorney after a week or two might've sparked some action on the
missing part.
After the part snafu (situation normal, all f***ed up), and the air con
problem, I certainly would've taken them to small claims court or
whatever venue would've been appropriate.
Out of curiosity, have you been in touch with your state's AG office or
whoever enforces lemon laws? While it might be too late for your EV MV,
I've heard of a few situations where cars had to be bought back because
of problems like yours (out of service for so long.)
Good luck with your future purchases.
