I wouldn't expect any issues at all.

If you have not done so, check your actual tire pressures with a gauge. If those are correct then you can safely ignore the TPMS warning. For purposes of the buyback it doesn't matter if the warning lights are lit up like a Christmas tree, as long as it runs. But we do want you to get safely to the dealer without a tire blowout!
The only light that could affect your buyback was if the car was on fire at the appointment. And I think that would only matter if it was on fire when you brought it in, if it started and ran and caught on fire after you would still be ok. haha

Our wagon's service light and another light was on, no problem what so ever.

YES!!!!! when turning mine in, the dealer said he turned down a car because of the gapping hole in the dash..... You cannot strip the car, and that includes the radio.

If you have the original radio, even if broken, put that back into the dash.
The car came with a radio ... it has to go back with a radio, even if it doesn't work.

Yes, that is true, much to the disappointment of certain people around here.

Yes— I taught high school for 32 years, and it is human nature to constantly test the limits of any situation, just to see how much they can get away with. Well, the strippers found out, didn't they?

You might be able to get away with swiping the OEM valve stem caps, though. There's at least one person on here who thinks they're worth a lot on ebay. Don't forget the one on the spare...

Turned our 2010 in with a flashing glow-plug light and no turbo because of a failed/stuck VNT, so obviously a CEL too. Car was filthy, "missing" the spare tire (and a view VW emblems for souvenirs) and anything else not bolted down.
No issues - took 15 minutes and had the EFT within days.
