My opinion was not expressed. I don't know any of the particulars of the purchaser so I don't have much to base an opinion on. I don't know if the purchaser was actually screwed out of anything, do you? He may have some recourse that covers him, I don't know. If he is an honest buyer and looses out I feel bad for him. Sadly I know a numerous people who bought cars at a distance and lost out. I guess we need another bailout for people who loose out? Or just for people who loose out on a VW van deal? Why not contact the charity with your proposal? Do you know if it would even be legal for them to do what you suggest? It may not be.
