i agree, if he were to take $25000, than what about about the other $25000? would you be happy if you bought a brand new nissan patrol, and it was riddled with faults from day one, and Nissan Australia, came to you after you had caused a big big stink and said well fair enough, your car is pretty bad, how about we give you half your money back and youll be on your way? if the vehicle was as bad as he said it was, they should have offered him a replacement OR a full refund IMO.
i believe what he is doing now is trying to turn heads so he can set a precedent for people in the future who have the same problem. i understand his frustration, although i dont think he is going about it the right way. The Australian legal system is pretty fickle, there isnt a good balance of which side the law takes and most times the larger companies will triumph over an individual.
anyway, good luck to him, maybe he'll go out and get a troll next!
oh and 93patrol, i think you are so wrong mate. if you bought a brand new car for 50k and sold it 3 years later for half that would you be happy? i doubt anyone would with that depreciation...
