Thank you, this was helpful. For me, GMF told me how much sales tax I would pay on a buyout, but I wasn’t sure if a GM dealer had to pay it, too.
It is not uncommon in the dealership model to wait for title for the check. You should not have to sign it as you would sign a power of attorney when you drop off the vehicle. The online buyers typically do give a check to you when you drop off the car (autonation, car max etc). I would look into those if you are needing to get the check before you leave the country.
No dealer will pay sales tax.

Thank you all for your help.
I now successfully returned our Jeep to a Jeep dealership which bought out my lease and cut me a check in return.
I was a bit suprised that I had to sign nothing. They just demounted the license plate, gave me the check (no contract / receipt etc.) and thats it. Is this a typical process? The sales guy just said everything was in the system thus no need for any additional paperwork.
Within my Chrysler Capital online account it still shows that I have some pending payments. But probably this just takes some more days until it gets updated?
Unless something changes in the near term, my car will be going to Driveway. I tried a number of local dealers and got virtually no interest (or crappy offers).
I don’t really understand why: it’s spring here in Chicagoland and I’d think they’d easily be able to move a low mileage Camaro.
