I hit a deer tonight with my 2015 un-fixed Passat TDI 6M. My buyback appt. is scheduled 7/16/2018. Deer tried to stick his head through my passenger-side window that was half-way open. Wife was in passenger's seat and wasn't too happy. No glass broke except the mirror.
Damage is:
Busted Passenger headlight and external mirror.
Dent where front passenger door meets quarter panel.
Front passenger window won't go up the last 1 inch.
Front passenger door will only open 30%
I have full insurance. Car has 58.5k on the clock. I have no intention to try to capture money for the damage from my insurance company. What is impact of this type of damage on my buyback? I am original owner of car, bought new from VW in Apr '15.
My preference is to park the car and turn it in as is without making an insurance claim. But...what is impact on my buyback elegibility? All my paperwork has been accepted and buyback appointment set. Do I need to fix the headlight/mirror and make door/window operational, or can I turn it in with busted parts and not-fully working door/window?
Thanks,
Joe
