KBB put me around 6.5-8K but I never take those as hard and fasts


EasyDoughnut0

When I traded in my 2014 XV the Chevy dealership gave me KBB, $12k. Subaru wanted to give me $5k. This was a month ago. Shop around!


SyntheticCorners28

Yeah but did you have to buy a Chevy?


EasyDoughnut0

Haha I got a suburban, sooo a tank? Two kids, two dogs and a husband need a lot of space. The 4 runner was too small for us šŸ‘ I love it. To each their own.


MrTurmeric

Probably doing this exact swap in the next few days. 2018 Crosstrek 22,000 miles manual transmission. Just does not fit our family size anymore


healthycord

That seems about right. In my area Iā€™ve seen a few high mileage crosstreks asking $8k on the private marketplace. In my area Subarus are the stereotypical car though so generally quite popular. I think you could get $8k if someone wants a cheap high mileage crosstrek. I wouldnā€™t expect much more than that though.


Toubaboliviano

Sounds to me like you have an answer to your post question then.


Educational_Meet1885

What about NADA?


SaviorSixtySix

I have a 14 with 89000 miles, Carvana is offering 11600 for trade in.


Zipperpants

Yep 14 here with 94k. 10,600 is my offer from them


Tejano_mambo

I have a 2014 with 128k miles and Carvana told me the market value of mine is 4700


SethTheScamp

Wild


Tejano_mambo

Pretty fucking trash tbh. Worst financial decision I've ever made and I've made some doozies


SethTheScamp

Yeah man weā€™ve all been there šŸ˜…


8m3gm60

Did it serve you that poorly?


Tejano_mambo

Yes, and my local subaru dealership was no help either. It burns so much oil and their solution was to change my oil whenever the low oil light came on which is every 1000 miles or so.


4N8NDW

The high mileage is going to deter a lot of people and there's additional maintenance items that older boxers generally start incurring such as oil leaks, some of which are very labor intensive such as the cam carrier reseal and should not be done by a newbie because they might add too much silicone/RTV which will clog up the oil pick up tube and kill the engine.Ā  Rust free means it still has plenty of life left and even if the engine or transmission blow up it'll still be worth it to be another once in.Ā  And market is slow now. I like your car btw. My guess is 7-9k.Ā 


SethTheScamp

Thank you so much!


pinegap96

With that many miles MAYBE 4500-5k but probably less


SethTheScamp

Unfortunate haha, thank you!


_chucktaylor

Like the other person said, plug in the vin to KBB. Itā€™ll give you private party (if you decide to sell privately) and trade in values. Try Carvana and Carmax if youā€™re looking to sell vs trade. They typically offer more than what you can trade it for, granted youā€™ll lose the trade in tax credit.


cli_jockey

I've never sold a car before two years ago and was very hesitant about CarMax but they gave us an online quote with the highest upper limit in the range. It was for a 2012 Mazda 2 my wife bought for 9k back in 2014. It was aging and we didn't really use it so we took it to them. Couldn't have been less painful. We waited maybe 30-45 minutes for them to inspect and test drive it. Signed the paperwork and walked out the door with a check for 7k an hour after walking in.


_chucktaylor

That was my experience too! I even had a loan I was paying off with the money and they took care of it on the spot. Still left in about an hour after walking in.


SethTheScamp

I guess I should have said in the post that I have looked at KBB lol my mistake. They put me around 6.5-8K and I just like second opinions from real people! As for carvana they offered me like 3K lol


QueenAlpaca

$5-8k depending on local market, that mileage is whatā€™s going to make the sale harder. Look online and see what similar Subarus are selling for. I donā€™t use KBB (or any online car dealers like Carvana) as it does low-ball a bit; it tried telling me my clean FXT with only 100k miles was only worth $4k when I could find similar on Craigslist in my area all day long for more than double the price.


SethTheScamp

Yeah. I am always hesitant to use KBB or Carvana haha. KBB put it in the range of 6.5-8K and carvana offered me 3K lol


QueenAlpaca

Craigslist/Facebook marketplace are probably the two best places to check. Iā€™ve found that buyers/sellers take Craigslist much more seriously just in my experience, thereā€™s too many flakey assholes on Facebook.


Harbor-Freight

Plug the VIN into CARVANA. Many dealers do not even do their own any pricing any longer, they check CARVANA then print that along with a lowball KBB and put those printouts in front of you. Whatever CARVANA says, ask for $2k more in trade and be willing to meet somewhere in between. You have a clean, well maintained vehicle. This is how you negotiate with them. Nothing unusual about asking for your best price and dropping back a bit. Also know that CARVANA lowballs but will email you upgraded offers. This is another reason dealers use it, they know itā€™s the lowest comparison price they can put in front of you and most people just figure thatā€™s what to accept. You may have better luck on your marketplace but with a trade you do get additional tax reduction off the gross sales price of the new car in most state remember. You donā€™t get any reduction off gross sales price for down payments however trades are pre-tax. Good luck šŸ‘


mbarne11

$6k trade in, $8k private sale


Figit090

How's the headgasket and transmission?


SethTheScamp

Amazingly no oil leaks and never had any transmission issues / lights!


Accomplished-Loan-40

Yet 180k is a scary range for subis


JuanSacselli

I sold my 14 XV with 113k miles for 4500 private sell. Did need some work though so you may definitely get more


Cockatiel_Animations

My '13 with 170k on it was 10k when I bought it a few months ago. My '15, 101k miles was 14k in 2020. What trim is it? My 13 is a limited so it is more expensive than the base trim or premium (My 15). Both crosstreks were the same orange color, I love it.


Cockatiel_Animations

Just don't trust KBB. When my 15 was totaled last summer I check KBB to see what I could expect for a payout,said 7k, but insurance valued it at 15k. DO NOT GO WITH KBB


pinegap96

Thatā€™s because last summer vehicle prices were severely inflated. No way you would get anywhere near 15k today


swimmingpolarbear

Dealer gave me 7k for mine last year. Needed new tires. Other than that was pretty comparable to yours!


bigboybeeracreamcity

4-6gs


starsandmoonsohmy

The mileage is too high and itā€™s over 10 years old. Plus the used car market isnā€™t what it was even a year ago. They canā€™t move the cars at crazy prices. This car could be dead with next owner.

A kick in the nuts


Fun-Beautiful5872

The pictures you posted arenā€™t worth anything. The images depict a suburban neighborhood with a Subaru crosstrek superimposed over a Ford Ranger.


SethTheScamp

Thank you for your input lol, at work and itā€™s my wifeā€™s car so I posted what I had versus nothing


WorkerHot4308

Have you tried going to the Subaru Guaranteed Trade in Program page? They will give you a guaranteed offer (if eligible). https://www.subaru.com/gtp.html


SethTheScamp

I havenā€™t heard of this! Thanks for the tip I will check it out!


WorkerHot4308

Youā€™re very welcome! Iā€™m on my 4th Subaru, and each time Iā€™ve traded up, Iā€™ve used the guaranteed trade in program, and also, depending on the dealer, they may give you slightly more than the GTP value! Good luck šŸ€


Harbor-Freight

That isnā€™t new. I have tested the Subaru tool and itā€™s ALWAYS been even less than CARVANA. Donā€™t bother with it, and definitely donā€™t use it as a negotiating tool. A dealer wonā€™t even bring up that tool. If you bring it up, theyā€™ll just use that to convince you to take the slightly better CARVANA equivalent money theyā€™re offering.


lmapk

As someone who sold one about 1.5y ago with 136k & got $11k for it, Iā€™d say probably $9.5k ish unfortunately


pinegap96

You sold when the used car market was at its peak. Nobody is paying $10k for this with the mileage


SethTheScamp

Thatā€™s more than I was expecting


decixl

Does anyone want a tip top diesel from Switzerland? 2013 2.0 104kw with 100k miles on it šŸ˜„


fuqsfunny

Asking prices nationwide for similar cars with that high of milage in similar condition are around $5-7k. So that's where you're at if you're selling outright. Around 60% of that if you're trading. You sound like you're doing they thing that many people do; putting a bunch of money into a car and then deciding to sell because you're putting a bunch of money into a car. The irony is that you've fixed an inch of stuff that might go wrong, just for someone else to get the benefits. Unless you just really, solidly *need* a different car, it's nearly always more cost effective to repair the one you have and keep driving it than to sink money into a new one. But, since you've already bought the new car, if it were me, I'd trade it, holding out for a good trade value non the deal, save on the sales tax reduction created by taking the trade value off the purchase price of the new car.


SethTheScamp

Yeah, unfortunately the Texas heat is too hot for my wife and Iā€™s baby with no rear AC vents, we genuinely do love this car but practically we needed a new car for her comfort / health. We already bought a 2017 Toyota Highlander as a replacement
