Replying to: mb789 (Oct 19, 2007 7:30 pm) It seems to be buried a little, but found it on Subaru.com with a search... here's the link: http://www.subaru.com/misc/gtp/2007/eligible.jsp Looks like you'd better be quick, though. Must take delivery by Oct. 31. I've not used the program, but others here have... hopefully they'll chime in.

Replying to: mb789 (Oct 19, 2007 7:30 pm) Go get it appraised. Some people were pleasantly surprised. Someone had an Outback Sport with a KBB in the $11-12k range and they were offered something like $16k. Run, don't walk, I say. I really hope our 2002 Legacy is eligible for this when the new Foresters arrive. I'm all over that deal.

I guess tonight could be our Crew World Series party since last night's game makes me think there's a slim chance the Series might not last until next Thursday! The Subaru Crew Chat is on tonight. The chat room opens at 8:45PM ET Hope to see YOU there! Check out the schedule

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 24, 2007 7:52 am) I used the program a year ago trading in my 04 X for an 07 Premium Package. I know I got a good deal that did exceed all the values as stated and it was kind of proved by the fact that my dealer didn't want it and let Subaru take it to Colorado I heard. My dealer said they couldn't make any money due to how much Subaru gave me... I was maxed out on the mileage limitations of the deal and had gotten the goodies out of my 04...

Replying to: kavoom (Oct 26, 2007 2:41 am) Do you remember the mileage limit? Is it fixed, or based on the model year?

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 26, 2007 7:42 am) I think they give you 15K a year. I was at like 44K with a 45K limit on a three year old vehicle. It wouldn't have been as good a deal if I had a lot less miles...

Replying to: kavoom (Oct 27, 2007 5:00 am) I tried to use this program to trade in my car today, but apparently my car's VIN number is not included. I got nowhere with Subaru except jacked around at the dealership. I was ready to buy a 2008 Forester TODAY, but they weren't being straight with me and were trying to jack up the interest rate, lied about my trade-in value, etc. I was very disgusted when I left there.

Replying to: kavoom (Oct 27, 2007 5:00 am) I thought the current advertised trade-in program was a promotional deal to get people into the new Impreza. GTP was only given to used Imprezas that were traded towards a 08. I'd guess we may see it this promo again when the new Forester comes out next year...

Replying to: tifighter (Oct 27, 2007 7:55 pm) The dealership tried to access this trade-in program as a last ditch effort to "try to get me more for my trade," because they weren't really giving me what they said they were giving me (and could've easily given me) in the first place. Long story. . . bad ending for them. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Oct 29, 2007 9:36 am) kyfdx (Oct 29, 2007 11:37 am) ateixeira (Oct 29, 2007 11:44 am) and 3 more...

Replying to: tifighter (Oct 27, 2007 7:55 pm) Yes, it seems GTP's only being offered on 2002-2006 Imprezas being traded in on any new '08 Subaru in dealer's inventory (take delivery by Oct. 31). Funny thing is, you'd think it'd be the opposite, i.e. trade any 2002-2006 Subaru in on an '08 Impreza. Don't know why they'd encourage only Impreza owners to buy any '08 Subie. Perhaps it boosts resale value on Impreza, allowing them to offer lower lease rates down the road on '08 Imprezas.
