Dec 30 - buyback closed Jan 13 - BofA loan paid off Jan 24 - overpayment check received

I turned in car on Friday Dec 30. I received Chase email on Monday Jan 2nd 5:26 pm--which was a bank holiday.

My buyback closed on 12/30 and VW hotline said a FedEx tracking number was issued on Jan 11. So my loan should be paid off soon, maybe today but hopefully by Jan 17.

Why would you have a buyback appointment if you opted for the fix?

When I turned in my 2013 JSW, I kept the first aid kit. A family member was interested in the nav unit, monster mats, trunk organizer and 17 inch Porto wheels w/ spare tire kit, so I took out what they wanted. They had a 2009 base JSW. We swapped wheels and head unit so the car wouldn't look...

I thought this thread called out to the happy ones, not the complainers.

I was able to speak to the ambassador at my local dealership but not the buyback specialist. I called the ambassador to ask if there would be a problem at buyback if radio/nav unit were stripped. He had to confer with the buyback specialist before advising me to swap radio with aftermarket unit...

I submitted initial claim paperwork on Oct 26. Uploaded notarized docs for the buyback on Nov 26. I got my buyback money on Jan 3. So it's more than 4 weeks to receive the funds.

You actually expected to receive a check in within 4 weeks after choosing an emissions fix? You're funny!

Initially I expected funds by 1/5 but I received Chase email on 1/2 Monday (that's fast considering the weekend plus holiday) then less than 12 hrs later the funds are now in my account.

I turned in the car on 12/30 6:30pm. I expect the Chase email no later than 1/5 Friday. Then I expect loan payoff by mid January followed 10 days later by the overage. So everything should be settled before Feb.

I own one car also. I bought my replacement car 1 month ahead of the buyback appt. If I had not already bought another car, then my backup plan to was get a car rental for a few days.

Someone else reported he gave incorrect email address so he didn't receive Chase email until address was fixed.

I received email from VW stating thhe following: "You will receive email notification from JP Morgan Chase (donotreplyChasePayments@jpmorgan.com) within 3 business days of the buyback closing." Since your buyback closed on 12/27, you can expect Chase email by 12/30. So if you don't receive by...
