I'm not sure that is entirely true. It seems like its a bit of luck and situationally dependent. Some get through quick, and some, like myself are stuck in purgatory.
Here's your stripped car test case folks...

Which I did. And here I am, 29 business days after they were accepted.

I followed instructions clearly and uploaded the correct documents over three months ago. Clear title. Still waiting for an offer. Not sure if you're trolling or just pitifully ignorant.

Yes, many have long waits. But many have short waits. No trolling, just facts.

Certainly some get through quickly, and equally certainly some people have submitted incorrect or illegible documents, causing delays for themselves. We all know that. What's either trolling or ignorant is your implication that all, or even most, of the delays are our own fault.

Many of the delays, as people have admitted to on this forum, are their own fault for not following instructions correctly.
Some people claiming delays through no fault of their own are not being 100% truthful.
And yes, some have completed the steps correctly and are facing delays.

Comments like these are bristling and serve little purpose without supporting evidence.
Based on my experience today, the car in the article that started this thread should be denied if the buyback rep decision process is objective and not subjective. I am assuming the later, however.

Is that so? I've been waiting...WITH documents uploaded correctly. Nothing so far.

It took me five weeks from my documents being accepted until my offer letter was received. Two days to approve offer letter and it was a month out for the earliest buy back appointment. I did everything correctly. So basically it is a 2 1/2 month process for people with VW credit.
I think people with non-VW credit financing are facing greater delays then me. People with no loans were quicker.

The irony of this is that the stripped car will get the best mpg and be the fastest it's ever been on the way to its own death...
With respect to the delays, there is no rhyme or reason. I'm over three months in since initial document submission with clear title and correctly filled out forms with nary an offer.

I'm surprised that someone has that much free time and storage space to strip the car and store the parts.
Sure, VW screwed the pooch on dieselgate, but the entire thing is way blown out of proportion. I see it as corporate sabotage. Why aren't we hearing about the newly discovered cheaters, GM, Ram, Fiat/Chriysler/Jeep, the way we did about VW?
Obviously, people are free to strip and sabotage the car, but it just seems like a waste of energy on your part and ultimately is more harmful to the environment. I mean, isn't the environment what this is all about? What about your kiiiidddzzz????

Thinking through hypothetical situations reduces the likelihood of nasty surprises. Most people dislike nasty surprises.
Otherwise known as strategic planning.

I suspect that the guy isn't married. I can just imagine why my wife would have to say if she found out that I was going to spend a whole day stripping a car like this

Any update from Joe??? It's 7:24....

Eager for the precedence Joe's car will set. I bet $1 that he will get rejected. He can go back and complain to the court but I doubt the judge will be interested in any redefinition of the settlement terms. I think the buyback rep can say you brought a shell, not a car.

at my turn in yesterday I saw the girl looking for my owners manual. she also definitely wanted both my key fobs and took pictures of the front back and both sides. I asked her about all this and she said that they could deduct money from the buyback and condition of the car did matter. just sayin. took them 15 minutes to complete the buyback and an hour to get the rusted tag bolts off the rear tag. take your own tags off before you go. last post. great site. thanks for all the info from the knowledgeable people that post here. let the flaming begin! so long...

All comes down to definition of terms. In my world (industrial equipment) stuff isn't the equivalent of "operable" unless it meets code. Half arse butcher jobs with rats nest electrical panels get a "nope".

Simulposting. If someone gets a deduction for not having a spare key they have every right to complain, because that is not a condition for a car to be operable.

It's really perplexing that the rep is making up new rules.

You have great taste in cars! I love the old Toyota in the background.This dude went all out! I'm impressed!
Mine goes back today at 6:00pm. I've already removed all my Whiteline suspension components, car now has no sway-bars haha. I mounted up bald mis-matched tires because mine were brand new. Also removed stereo, all weather floor mats, trunk mat and trunk cover.
I'm getting off work early to remove the entire custom Golf-R front-end... I can't let this sexy hard work go to the junkyard... Should be able to sell it to someone or buy a wrecked car to fix.
This is how she sit's right now.

How about if VW accepts the car, subject to inspection?
