^This Every car company does this same thing and it's simply to drive traffic to the dealership (this is the primary goal for regional car company marketing groups). They know that a certain % of anyone who comes in for any reason will walk out with a car, so they send these to everyone just to get you to come in. There is no special demand for your particular car and the price they give you won't be any better than any other day you walk on to the lot. The marketing groups love these because they are easy to track your visit to that mailing, so they can show metrics to the dealerships that they're being effective at driving people to the lots and it justifies the regional marketing fee dealership pay (and sometimes try to pass on to buyers). |

It was a pretty fun car, but the QR25 had this slight problem that when driven hard, it would dump more fuel into the engine than it could burn. Which would cause raw fuel to go out the exhaust, which would collapse the cat on the manifold, which would then result in those bits getting sucked back into the engine. Just a slight problem. I bought the car with 11,000 miles on it, and it was up to its third engine before the warranty expired at 36,000 miles.

Your letter looks fancy. What I got from a Subaru dealer saying they wanted my car was just a hand written letter asking if I'd be interested in selling my car and what they were offering to pay for it.

I didn’t think anybody took these things seriously As stated, these are automatically generated and mailed in hopes that you will show up to the dealership and buy a new car. They don’t really specifically want your car and you won’t get any more in trade value than if you were to just randomly show up at the dealership. Don’t take it personally that they are advertising trading your vehicle for whatever less exciting vehicle they are pushing at the time.

i started getting these once i got to 1 year left on my loan. its always for something shitty like a crosstrek or base forester. The grift is they give you a shitty trade in value then try and bait you into a long car loan.
