Kevin breaks down how to get the most money for your trade-in!

Hi, I'm Kevin from Stanley Subaru. I am the pre-owned sales manager, and I'm here to talk to you about the three best ways to get the most for your trade.

Number one: clean your car. A cleaner car is always worth more money.

We are working on the interior so we can get you all the service you need when you need it. While we are finishing up the inside, we have moved our service department over to the annex. Which totally works out for you! The colors on the trees are so much better over there! Enjoy the perfectly-timed (temporary) move to get a good look at the best of Maine's autumn while you get your vehicle serviced!

Stanley Subaru is once again supporting Down East cancer patients with Test Drives for the Cure.

For every test drive taken in October, Stanley Subaru will donate $10 to the care of patients at the Mary Dow Center for Cancer Care, a department of Maine Coast Memorial Hospital.

No purchase is necessary, and the money will be donated in your name. This program has been running since 2009, and directly benefits local cancer patients. Test Drives for the Cure has raised over $10,000 for patient care in Hancock County so far!

The Subaru Guaranteed Trade-In Program guarantees the minimum trade-in amount owners will receive for their qualified Subaru vehicle when a new later model year Subaru vehicle is purchased. The GTP Value is updated monthly and is available for 6 years from the original vehicle warranty start date. Subaru is extending this offer not just six years back, but all the way back to 2008 for our guests!

There are lots of different bells and whistles that are available from every manufacturer, so to try to make it easier to tell which car will fit you best, we have this base model to base model comparison of the 2017 Legacy, Accord, Camry, Fusion, and Sonata. Everyone will let you add more, but comparing base models will help you figure out which vehicle really has the best value. Find out which car works for you!

We want to thank Dave Cookson for his consistently outstanding work for us as a service writer. Despite all our best efforts to keep him here forever, Dave retired.

On Thursday, we had a cookout for him to visit with us and our guests one more time. There were lots of hugs, and almost as many goodbyes. Dave was quick to remind everyone that attended that he'll be back plenty; he owns a Subaru, after all, and will need it serviced.

Time to trade in or get a new lease or just get another car, huh? There are three easy things you can do to make your life a little easier when it comes to making a decision.

1. Compare different models

Since you probably know what you want in terms of the size and shape of the vehicle (you might even have a particular model in mind), check out some of the comparisons out there that compare similar types. You may be a diehard Subaru fan (thank you), but you might find some features on another vehicle that surprise you…
