- it sounds like the dealer contacted you about an early trade-in on your lease, if so you were marketed-to and should always ignore those inquiries. You decide when it’s time for a new car, they don’t
- Subaru doesn’t have a pull-ahead (too early even if they did) or any OEM support so you’re paying the cost of this early-swap
- without reviewing your prior lease: unless you live in a no sales tax state and the prior lease was a sign-and-drive - you already prepaid some utility in your lease that will be vaporized in this transaction. E.g. if your old lease was 36 months and $2500 DAS you are lighting $900 on fire without the warmth of 9 burning benjamins
- we always-always-always recommend separating the trade from the new lease for this reason. Carmax and Carvana are probably not enough data points to consider, but there’s no reason with the numbers you presented to include the trade with the lease. The dealership wants margin on both sides.
If you want a new CT: start over
- block this dealer
- separate the trade from the new lease
- move to a strategy of making offers
