I didn't use it, glad I didn't. I'll just wait and see how much more I get.

Shouldn't be; the lease restitution is fixed. The only one that's in question is (some) post-9/18/15 buyers.

Got as far as the VIN and it says car not eligible. Not sure why. I have other email addresses I could use.
On a side not- my PA I visited last week drives a TDI wagon, too. She took my hand and said "Are you suffering stress and withdrawal, too?!?!"
Kinda neat. Kinda true.

Just looked at a car I bought "yesterday". Indeed, the restitution is now showing as $5799.40. That is well beyond the $5100 minimum as a pre 9/2015 buyer...

Is that 100% of the amount shown on the tables, or a lesser amount?

Both of my post 6/28 purchases are now showing as 100% restitution.

Ok I think I found a way around this.
I have a 14 Passat SE (bought a month ago)I'm turning in, I documented that my revenue stream would be:
Return amount $18,775
restitution $3,371
$22,146
I just now ran a new 14 passat SE through the claims portal with same options that I'm looking at, even within 500 miles on the odometer.
That car comes back at:
Return amount $18,775
restitution $5268
$24,043
This means that the buyback was the same ( no surprise) and that restitution increased by $1897, or 56%. This would calculate out to 78% of the total restitution.

I wonder what the differences are between cars calculating out at 78% of the total vs. ones at 100% of the total. I'm gonna assume it's an error on the website's part for now since I don't see any other logic in posts thus far. Maybe it is as simple as which vehicles had a registered seller and which didn't.

Ok I think Freeze Plug and speedrye If I remember correctly may have been the winner here...

It appears that the take rate must have been well below 75% and that the distribution is not even.

Yah I think this is the start of evidence of some restitution curve...

Just curious, if folks are entering the same cars twice into the VW portal, isn't that going to create some issues? Are you actually creating an additional claim when rerunning the VINs?

No I don't think because if that was the case, I would have messed up claims for about 125 other people

This is good analysis and clearly summarizes the latest info that we are discussing here. Good work.

Interesting. I set up a dummy account and my restitution amount was the same as it was when I did it for real. No biggie, I'm entirely comfortable with that amount.

my dummy account is showing 100% as well for my car purchased in august 2016. hope it works out that way!

Can you give some car stats? And when you say full restitution do you mean 5100 full restitution like a pre 9/2015 buyer or like calculated restitution? Sorry for being dense.

The first time I entered it im pretty sure it only showed half of that $6,491.73.
2013 jetta, dsg, sun roof, nav, power seats, 54,500 miles. Bought from a ford dealer in august. They purchased it in june of 2015.
Ps, sorry for the sideways photo, photobucket is acting up so I used tinypic instead and it flipped it on me.

I couldn't resist so I went back and created a duplicate account. So far, I have seen increases over the original restitution of 50% ( for 100% increase) on an 09, 14, 13, and others....

These posts give me some hope, but for some reason, I have a hard time trusting the claims site considering all of the other flaws, entry errors and omissions.
