I sold my beloved 2011 Golf back to VW on February 1. A cared-for one-owner car with only 44K miles and pretty much like new cosmetically (always garaged), I hoped it was a candidate for the emissions fix and resale to an appreciative buyer. Apparently, it never left the dealership. I googled the VIN and found it was listed for sale on the dealer website on February 15, two weeks after buyback, and it's already been sold.
Looks like dealers may be getting first dibs on the best buybacks to stock their used inventory. Still, surprising that vehicle ownership could transfer from me to VW to the dealer, with emissions fix and any other maintenance, inspection, and detailing, in only 2 weeks.
