Compared to buying another car? This is not sound math. Another car will depreciate every mile, from zero / month. Even if you lose a few hundred bucks by going over your 12k/year it still is cheaper than buying something else.

There is a 120k warranty on this now.

You have a piece of paper stating how much you will receive from VW .I doubt your insurance will be able to low ball you much towards this buy back price. Maybe you lose a few grand, but that's no different than driving a beater that has no full coverage ...

Now that is a real reason to let it go. If it has been a POS you need to move it!

But sounds like the OP has a brand new car - why not drive it for 2 years for free, or even at 15k / year, pay a grand to drive it that much!?

Mine is so nice and I have had zero issues up to 85k now, I dread the day I have to drop it off ...
