What Factors Affect My Subaru Trade-In Value?

Is it time to upgrade your vehicle? If you’re ready to buy a new Subaru car or SUV, we encourage you to use your existing vehicle as a Subaru trade-in. Kirby Subaru of Ventura outlines all the factors that affect your trade-in value.

Age and Mileage

When you bring in your vehicle, we start by looking at the current retail market value of its particular make, model, and trim. The age of your vehicle is also a factor. Finally, we look at the mileage and see how your mileage aligns with your vehicle’s age.

Vehicle History

High-mileage cars aren’t always the first pick in a pre-owned inventory. However, if we can see that the vehicle is still reliable, that can certainly help. We offer a higher trade-in value to vehicles with a complete service history and the records to prove it.

Condition

Condition is an important factor when it comes to your trade-in value. Drivers are less likely to buy vehicles with lots of imperfections, such as torn seats or dents. We also immediately factor in the price of any repairs that we'll need to make or replacement parts we need to add.

Supply and Demand

The last factor to consider is the current market climate. If your particular vehicle is in high demand, that can secure a higher value. However, if there are lots of other similar models available, that can do the opposite.
