Used Subarus in good condition are in short supply, as I found out when I was in the market a year ago. 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.

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.
