Tips for Buying a Car at the End of the Model Year in Lafayette, LA

Shopping for a new Subaru at the end of the model year gives buyers a unique advantage — not only are trade-in values higher than ever, but dealers hold sales events and mark down new models to make room for even newer ones. If you'd like to take advantage of extraordinary savings on our new Subaru SUVs and sedans here at Giles Subaru, take a look at our tips below for buying a car at the end of the model year. If followed, our advice can help you save on your next new vehicle purchase! Happy shopping!

Research Sales Events

You may have noticed that manufacturer incentives peak during the end of the calendar year, but that's not the only time of year that buyers can find savings. At the end of the summer and the beginning of fall, dealers need room for incoming inventory, which include models from the new model year or custom orders, so selling the current inventory adds more space to their lots. The holiday season is well-known for savings like zero percent APR, zero-down leases and bonus cash offers. But since manufacturers start dropping new vehicles in the summer, you can always find limited-time savings then, too!

Value Your Trade

Used car values are still high, so it's a great time to cash in on your vehicle's equity. We provide an online trade-in form that calculates the value of your vehicle per Car and Driver. Simply fill out the information, receive your quote and bring your vehicle with you to our dealership! Once the quote and model have been verified in person, trade your model in for one of ours — you'll see big savings.

Additional Incentives

Did you know that Subaru offers recent college graduates and qualifying military personnel special discounts on a new Subaru purchase? It's true! If you’re graduating from college in the next six months or if you have graduated in the past twelve months, you may be eligible for our College Graduate Program. Plus, eligible U.S. Military personnel and retirees can receive a $500 bonus toward the purchase of a new Subaru.*
