Yes, another one of these threads.
Went in early to Autobahn VW for my buyback appointment which was at 10am. But due to the 9am appointment flaking out, I was able to be taken care of 20 minutes before 10. The guy responsible for the buyback was very kind and helpful, presenting the offer to me which was consistent with my calculations based on mileage of 74,0xx. Signed some paperwork, gave me the chance to retrieve any belongings (though I had that done the weekend prior), took photos of the mileage and the head unit (to which he informed me that vehicles without head units will not be accepted for the buyback), and the staff even inquired on whether I want to take a look at what they have offering at the moment.
Of course, as I'm in the market for a house, no new cars for me until I move in to one. Since I bank with Chase, I expect to receive my payment pretty soon. Furthermore, as I have made 5 payments since I had everything approved, the contractor also emphasized that I check my VW Credit account daily and once it is fully paid off, that I immediately contact them ASAP and have them mail out the check covering the last 5 payments, including interest.
Lastly, he also let me know that I should present the receipt of the transaction to the local DMV to prevent any future headaches as the vehicle is no longer in my possession.
To add, they were also courteous enough to offer me a ride back to my house as it was done on a Saturday, but luckily I had a homie give me a ride back.
Overall, a very pleasant experience to wash my hands off this polluting econobox. Hard to resist an offer of $21k, so with that I say GURL, BYE!
