End of Lease, trying to release some equity

Continuing the discussion from Question about Lease Buy Out/ Release Equity VW Atlas:

Thanks for the input, appreciate it. I am a few weeks before the end of the lease now, also leaving the country at the end of the month and seem to have not played it right. Payoff quote is 28,500, VW offered me 30k, Carmax offered 34 (but their 3rd party buyout quote was 42k). I should have really got auto financing, bought the car and then sold it making a healthy amount but I’d say I’m out of time now (title takes 10-15 days to come in plus time it takes to get auto financing in place).
