First of all the restitution number I'm getting is about $4000 give or take so that obviously means the first owner has indeed submitted a claim. Now the question that I have is that does the VW checks when the vehicle was sold in order to complete the previous owner claim? In my case, I bought a vehicle in February and I know for sure that the first owner sold the vehicle to the dealer that I bought from in early February, i.e. after Jan 31, 2017. So technically the first owners claim should be either void or if it goes through would be fraudulent. What options do I have other than asking the dealer a copy of bill of sale/trade-in document which I don't think they will provide it to a regular Joe like me since it will have personal information of the prior owner.
PS: The vehicle I bought was Audi A6, one previous owner only and I'm the second owner,
