To take your car analogy further, the dealer offered to refund your purchase price up until the time they actually started to manufacture your car. So... if you "grin an bear it" you did it of your own volition, since you could easily have walked away at any time.
bullshit.
the dealer may have manufactured it, but somehow managed to create a new product line, yet the customer was offered to ditch the old one for the new one
so much for "manufacturing", huh?
