Lasting Value for as Long as You Love Your Subaru

We believe in the quality of our vehicles and feel that you should too. That's why we created the Subaru Guaranteed Trade-In Program (GTP), tailored specifically so that owners are always provided with the highest possible trade-in value for their Subaru.

Rules and Eligibility

The Subaru Guaranteed Trade-In Program ("GTP") Value is an exclusive offer — only for Subaru owners — that guarantees the trade-in amount you will receive for your qualified Subaru vehicle when you purchase a new later-model-year Subaru vehicle. The GTP Value is available beginning after the first 12 months of ownership, for a total period of 8 years from the vehicle's original warranty start date. "Qualified vehicle" is defined as conforming to the mileage and condition criteria listed below. "Trade-In value" is what you can expect to receive from a local Subaru retailer for a trade-in vehicle with standard manufacturer's equipment and a good condition rating. The new Subaru being purchased must be at least one model year newer than the trade-in vehicle. Current GTP Values are available for eligible Subaru model years and will be updated on a monthly basis.

Beginning April 1, 2023, GTP value is based on the following maximum allowable total vehicle mileage at the time of actual sale: 

 

Model Year 2015 100,000 miles
Model Year 2016 100,000 miles
Model Year 2017 90,000 miles
Model Year 2018 75,000 miles
Model Year 2019 60,000 miles
Model Year 2020 45,000 miles
Model Year 2021 30,000 miles
Model Year 2022 22,500 miles
Model Year 2023 15,000 miles

For vehicles exceeding the above maximum mileage limits and not disallowed by the Vehicle Exclusions or the Vehicle Condition Criteria outlined in the Program Guidelines, the GTP Value offered to the customer must be reduced by $0.20 for each mile over the maximum mileage allowance. This is the only allowed reduction of the GTP Value.

If your vehicle exceeds the maximum mileage limits stated above and is not disallowed by the Vehicle Exclusions or the Vehicle Condition Criteria, your participating Subaru retailer will calculate a value based on your vehicle's actual mileage. Please visit your participating Subaru retailer to receive a complimentary and complete vehicle evaluation to determine the actual market value of your Subaru vehicle.

Active leased vehicles are excluded from this offer. Active commercial fleet vehicles are excluded from this offer. Current Subaru vehicle cannot be titled in a business, retailer, bank, or finance company name. Vehicles originally allocated outside the 49 United States of America (Hawaii excluded) are excluded from this offer. The owner(s) of the current Subaru vehicle must reside in one of the 49 United States of America (Hawaii excluded). Vehicles originally sold in a foreign country are excluded from this offer even if a value is provided. Vehicles owned by a customer who did not purchase a new Subaru vehicle under this program are not eligible. Vehicles that do not meet the minimum conditional criteria are not eligible. Vehicles that receive "Trade Assistance" from Subaru of America Customer Advocacy Department due to reoccurring mechanical issues are ineligible. Vehicle brands other than Subaru are excluded from this offer. Vehicles that have accident and/or damage information listed on vehicle history report, e.g., CARFAX, AutoCheck, etc. are excluded from the GTP repurchase.

The Guaranteed Trade-In Program Value is based on the vehicle being in safe operating condition and free of existing and/or previously repaired collision damage which required panel and/or part(s) replacement. The vehicle must also conform to the standards for normal wear and use.
