It said the car just needs to be driven on the lot to be eligible for turn in. Did the buyback specialist start your car again after arriving? I ask because I fried my battery jumping a UTV and it runs as long as I put the charger on it before I drive. I don't want to spend another penny on this car, so if I need to I will bring a jump box.


Also if anyone else has different questions for those that already turned in feel free to add them here

From what I was reading in other posts, most dealers can take care of the jump. Might call in your turn in dealer and ask.

Ok thanks guys, once I get my date scheduled I will give them a call and then plan on leaving it running just in case

If I were worried about this, I would drive the car in and not turn it off until the papers were all signed. Or just let them turn it off after I left.....

My battery died last week too (Original battery from 2009) and I have to jump mine too. I just got my offer letter today so I'm hoping turn in will be soon.

Like some said, just leave it running. You shouldn't have any personal items in it since you're turning in. Up to you though!
