Car Forum / Subaru Cars / May 2008Subaru buyback offer good deal?
Once a year I receive a letter from subaru (or a subaru dealer) saying they would buy back my old subaru at such and such price, or a guaranteed trade in value. Some letter said they desperately need a used car like mine. Does it really work? > Once a year I receive a letter from subaru (or a subaru dealer) saying they > would buy back my old subaru at such and such price, or a guaranteed trade > in value.

Read this whole site: http://www.carbuyingtips.com/ and then decide if your dealer is offering you a good deal.

However, offers to buy yours may not be worth it. For one, they may not offer anything like the actual value of the car -- *always* check prices in your area for similar vehicles before bothering to respond to such an offer. For two, why would you sell a perfectly good car you like? If you already wanted a newer model, and the trade-in offer on your car is good and from a dealer that stocks the newer models you want, you might be able to negotiate a good deal. Otherwise, I suspect you'd be better off ignoring offers like this if you own a used Subaru in good condition.

I bought several Subarus new, so have been getting these for a while. Did go in once just to see how good their offer was. Turned out to be about $1800 (15%) less than what I was able to get for the car for in a private sale. Yeah, it's a come on. On the other hand, if they've still got a new yellow Baja on the lot that they can't move, who knows. |
