I just turned in my 2010 sportwagen on Friday. After reading the forums, I thought I could turn in any condition and it would be ok. I got a 2015 sportwagen to replace it.
I decided to take the spare out of the 2015 and trade out one of the 2010 17" Portos so I can keep a full size spare in my trunk.
The guys takes a funny look at the car and calls the regional supervisor. He said I need all 4 original tires and the original spare to turn it in. Turns out they had a meeting and the car can't have any major damage or anything strange about it. Since they are approved to fix and resell the car, they want it in a resellable condition.
I called my wife to drive over the wheel from the garage. He looked closely at everything else to make sure it was all there.
Advice for those who want to strip out some parts before turning it in. I would avoid it. The only thing I got away with is taking the all weather floor mats and jack, which I transferred to my new car. (I hate the new style jack it came with)
