Came home to a voice mail from the Subaru dealer where I purchased my Outback. I called back and was told that my vehicle was eligible to be traded in for a current 2013 same trim and all. They would even put on the OEM hitch on the new one.
The deal would allow me to keep the same payments, or just slightly higher if I fell out of the minimum mileage (which I do, so the payment would be about $15-$30 more a month). Went down to the dealer for the required inspection to assess the condition of my vehicle, worked out because I was actually in the area dropping off at the dry cleaners.
Waiting to hear back from them today about the final numbers; I was told however, that the note would start over again from day one. So the 1st year of my payments that I have on my current vehicle would be wiped out (almost like I leased it). I’m sure I’ll have to eat the 4 yr NJ registration for $211, don’t know about the taxes.
1. Q: Does anyone have any insight into this program, consumer or dealer?
2. Q: Overall, is it worth considering? (May be too subjective to answer)
3. Q: Is there a huge enough difference between the 2011 Outback Limited and the 2013, to make it worth trading in?
4. Q: Is there any "LOVE" in this deal or is the deal tipped toward the dealership?
5. Q: Has anyone done this deal already?
I was also told that this whole initiative is an effort to re-supply the used car inventory on certain Subaru models because there are in effect, no used cars to offer the public on certain models in certain parts of the country. The deal is supposed to be between the dealerships and Subaru of America.
I enjoy my 2011 Outback greatly, and was looking forward to owning it for a long time, never gave any thought to trading it in for a new one.
But now with the opportunity to trade up…
If I do the deal, I can’t forget to swap out the new 19mm Rear Sway Bar for the old stock one in the basement, good thing I kept it.
I know that my loan payoff number, the amount of my monthly payment and the value of the new vehile will be the drivers on this deal but I'm just looking some perspective, any feedback would be appreciated.
