Has anyone used Subaru's Guaranteed Trade-in Program?
I'm curious, for those who have used the program was your value close to the NADA trade value?
https://www.subaru.com/guaranteed-tr...ram/index.html I can't check 'my value' until 12 months of ownership, and obviously couldn't use the program till then. But non the less I'm curious. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/tzTA0zc.jpg[IMG] Last edited by imnotsureaboutbrz; 11-20-2017 at 05:37 PM. |

Just go onto cargurgus or autotrader where they list the VIN of the car.
Then, enter it into the GTP site and compare the values. For example: * Sample Car, Randomly Picked: https://cargur.us/kFR4X |

I used it when I bought the BRZ. I had a 2009 Impreza that I traded in.
I didn't show them the guaranteed trade value initially, but when they gave me a trade in value $500 lower I pulled it out and they immediately changed it. Car has to be mint condition to qualify, but it beat KBB trade in value by $750 |

Just to add my experience, I used this when they started the program to trade up into a 2005 STI from a 2003 WRX. Used it again to trade the 2005 STI for a 2007 FXT SC for the family.
The value has always been reasonable relative to having to sell it yourself. Competitive with CarMax as well. Hell, I STILL get GTP offers for my 2007 FXT SC I sold long ago, and the value for it is quite good. If you are looking to trade in/up, it is a good program. |

Unfortunately you will have to find a dealership who would participate in the program. Not all dealerships will offer you the Guaranteed Pricing.

In my experience, the GTP low-balled me when I was selling my STI last year. It only offered me 24k for a 2014 w/ 12k miles on it, when the Blue book was 32k and I believe the NADA was 31k. I ended up selling it myself for 32k.
