Today, I received a letter from the dealer where I bought my 2001 Forester. It contained an offer which I find extremely hard to believe......
It's called the "Exclusive Trade-In Assistance Program", good thru
6/15/04. It says that "any customer trading in a 1996-2002 Subaru model on a like or upgraded 2003/2004 Subaru will receive 100% of the base model MSRP when new (as provided by N.A.D.A.)". Am I reading this right? Are they saying that, if I bought my 2001 Forester for $20,000, they will give me $20,000 as a trade-in on a 2003-2004 Forester (or higher model)? Of course, they say that your trade-in "must be in safe operating condition, with normal wear and tear and free of paint or collision work" and. they will make deductions for mileage. But even this results in a 2000 or 3000 deduction, this sounds too good to be true.Has anyone else gotten this letter? What's the catch?
