3.0L TDI Trade-In Issue Resolution
Dear Dealer Partners,
Over the past several weeks we have seen an increase in Trade-In volume transactions under the 3.0L
TDI Settlement Agreement. While the majority of these transactions have closed successfully, we’d like to
identify some common issues, provide recommended resolutions, and reinforce the training resources
available to ensure compliance and success in this process.
Common Issues:
Completing Trade-In Transactions without Confirmed Customer Appointments: As per the program
rules and under the 3.0L TDI Settlement Agreement, only confirmed customer appointments at the
program approved dealership can complete the Trade-In transaction.
 If a customer without a confirmed Trade-In appointment is at your dealership and is interested in
a purchase, they must enter the TDI Customer Portal or call the TDI Customer Help Line and
schedule an appointment. Do not attempt to execute a trade transaction outside of a
program confirmed appointment date.
 If a customer has a confirmed Trade-In appointment BUT the appointment is not at your
dealership, please have the customer access their TDI Customer portal or contact the TDI
Customer Help Line to reschedule their appointment and select your dealership (if your
dealership has opted-in). Do not attempt to execute a trade transaction outside of a program
confirmed appointment date at your dealership.
Trade-In Transactions on Different Day of the Sale and at Non-Approved Trade-In Dealers: As per
the program rules, all confirmed customer appointments are required to complete the 3.0L Trade-In
Transaction on the approved appointment date, on the same day of the sale and at the approved
specified dealership. If the dealership is unable to secure a new vehicle for the customer, please do not
complete the Trade-In transaction. Wait until the new vehicle is secured and can be transacted on the
same day as the trade.
Missing Documentation: Dealers are required to upload a copy of the following documents in the TDI
IN-FORM tool as well as physically mail the Title and Power of Attorney to VWGoA :
 Executed Sales Agreement and or Bill of Sales copy properly disclosing the Trade-In credit
 Executed Odometer Disclosure Statement copy
 Executed Trade-In Certificate copy printed by the Program Ambassador at time of appointment
 Documents not included at time of closing in the IN-FORM tool can be submitted via
email to [email protected]. Please ensure the Claim number and
document type for the claim are listed in the subject line; example “Odometer Statement
– Claim#1234567.”
