Volkswagen (VW) just announced that they are offering cash to California VW owners who own Volkswagen diesel cars. The cash offer comes in the form of $1000 made up of two parts. $500 as a gift card and $500 must be used at a VW dealer for services or parts.
The cash offer looks like an attempt to placate VW car owners and as well as VW dealerships. The $500 required to be used at dealers should be some business to their dealership, who have been very upset by the emission test cheating scandal.
VW owners will also be given free 24 hour access to VW’s roadside assistance program for three years.
These offers look like a delay tactic, according to Peter Bezek, the managing partner of Foley Bezek Behle and Curtis, LP, a California class action and lemon law, law firm. You can read more of his interview in the Los Angeles Times by clicking here.
