WTF a co worker bought a buy back TDI

So a co worker called me to tell me about his new car, a 2013 TDI Passat with 25,000km that he bought. I said "awesome, you gonna turn it in and make a profit?" He said" no I bought it used from a VW dealer, it was already bought back"
At that point I am like what the fuck, how did you get that car.
To my understanding the whole point of the buy back was to get the cars off the road? This dealer took the car back, VW of Canada or whatever paid the original owner out, and this dealer got a free used car, that they turned around and sold for $20,000!!
Apparently he had to sign a waiver before buying the car! I am waiting on a copy of what he had to sign, but to me this is total bullshit, and the dealer took advantage of a unknowing customer, and made a profit of 20k on a car that was illegally sold.
Am I missing something here? There is no way this dealer is allowed to sell buy back TDIs am I right?

This is weird. I can't see the dealer being able to sell a car without the 'fix' applied. Even though no one even knows what the fix is, lol.

So this wasn't a buyback car and it's not CPO. The stop sale order was only put on new TDIs and CPO'd cars. Cars without warranty can be sold.

If the law was broken no contract will help them. Depending on how fishy it gets I'll see about getting the vin ran at vw.

The law states they can sell used TDI's but with no warranty. The bullshit part is where the salesman told him it was a buyback car. More then likely it was a trade in car.

I don't understand the outrage.
If the car was turned in and the dealer fixed it to meet the required emissions why can't they sell the car back? (let's ignore dealer profit because that's just internet speculation, unless you know exactly how it works: ie if the car is fixed and resold, vw pays pays for the buyback to original buyer, but then when resold the dealer owes whatever they sold it for to vw net of small profit for their troubles vs if car is turned in bought back not resold, dealer is paid xx,xxx by head office - none of you know how it works so it's a moot point).
I thought the option was dealer buys back car or dealer "fixes" it for you and you keep driving it (at expense of shittier mileage).

There is no fix yet though and no buybacks in Canada have started. The dealer was feeding the guy a line of shit, lol.
