Don't know what you are talking about. I'm referring to subarus guaranteed trade in (thread topic) and how its crap they quoted me a price with up to 49k miles and I had under 20, 30 days later when I'm looking the trade in has lost 4k dollars. Total bs. Anyways i've used the program before and got 2400 more than they quoted originally. I'll sell it privately if I need to but if subaru wanted to sell me a new car they wouldn't have done this and would go back to a more reasonable quote.

What car is this for and do you drive an automatic? I do not remember MTF and diff. fluid need to be replaced at 30k miles.

I think I paid about $190 for oil, trans, and diff fluid changed at the dealer at 10k miles. For comparison to the price the previous poster quoted.
