You can call VFS and asked for a termination quote. We did that with my dads and they just made us pay a fee, in our case about $3000 to walk away from it clear.
Yes, we did this for one of ours as well. It was even in an accident. Dealer said I had $8000 in negative equity, and it only cost $2000 for termination. Drove right to the local dealer and asked them to ground it and paid VCFS directly.
I didn’t disagree with the $8000 in negative equity the dealer told me I had, but then VCFS surprised me. Agree this is too early for him, but it makes me curious what causes VCFS to offer termination buyouts that are significantly more attractive than dealer numbers at times.
