Had a coworker who just bought one as the VW dealership had the fully loaded ID.Buzz with MSRP of $72,595 marked down to $29K with a butt load of VW discounts and the dealer wanted to get rid of it. He said the same thing you did, but at the price, he thinks it will be an awesome local use auto for the family and kids. Totally agree that my EV9 is a far better purchase than this for the original prices.

Continued death spiral of America due to incompetence in DC by Idiot47 and his lemmings. Carney rolls his eyes at US Treasury secretary, telling Trump he meant what he said at Davos

Every American needs to get ready as this is our future under Idiot47 and his love of Tariffs. Vintage photos show American life under Trump's tariff hero, William McKinley Idiot47 is going to bankrupt this country the way he has already done it 7 times since he is so stupid. Trump vows 'big retaliation' as 'sell America' list grows This is sad as GM will not recover like they think they will nor will Ford. American Auto Industry is set to expire. GM to end Chevy Bolt EV production next year, move China-made Buick to US factory Anyone who doubts the U.S. is about to crash does not understand how the Russian Agent Idiot47 has increased debt to give the 1% class everything before this country implodes. ‘Some form of crisis is almost inevitable’: The $38 trillion national debt will soon be growing faster than the US economy itself, watchdog warns

Not surprised by this as much as just sadden that we have fallen down to be such trailer trash bottom of the garbage bin due to an Idiot that almost 51% of idiot illiterate Americans put in office. Sadly with only a 7th grade level of reading, it was only time before a Russian agent / Pedo / Criminal would get put into the highest office in the land by idiot Americans. As a well-educated individual, I just never thought I would see the day that a friendly neighbor would have to plan for war against us.

Safety experts and tech critics have long condemned the Ring devices for security risks and privacy violations, not to mention their role in building the largest civilian surveillance network in US history. Last summer, the Electronic Frontier Foundation warned that Ring was actively eroding civil liberties in the US for profit. Amazon subsidiary Ring, the company behind those AI doorbell cameras that have exploded in popularity over the last few years. Back in October, Ring announced that its devices would soon be looped into a network of Flock AI surveillance cameras. That network, an investigation by 404 Media found, has been available to local and federal police and enforcement agencies like ICE — leaving many worried that their Ring doorbell cams are now feeding into a government panopticon. Fury as Amazon Ring Cameras Are Hooked Up to ICE System If you have RING, time to rethink who you use for video surveillance.

WOW, I never thought I would ever see this kind of thing! Canada 'preparing for US invasion'

Further proof that Idiot47 and the lemming brigade have no idea how to live within means and now Moron47 wants to pay over 700 billion that the US does not have to buy Greenland. Trump added $2.25 trillion to the national debt in his first year back in charge, watchdog says
