Upgrade Your Subaru with River City Trade Up Advantage
Discover the River City Subaru Trade Up Advantage®
Driving a Subaru means investing in a vehicle renowned for strong resale value and lasting reliability. At River City Subaru, our Trade Up Advantage Program® offers a smart way for drivers in Huntington, Charleston, and surrounding Tri-State communities like Hurricane and Louisa to trade in their current Subaru for a brand-new model—often with monthly payments close to their current ones.
Thanks to Subaru’s exceptional retention in the West Virginia and Tri-State marketplace, we can provide trade-in values that often surpass standard offers for well-maintained vehicles. This approach helps local families and professionals from locations like Poca, Dunbar, or Ashland access the latest Subaru safety features and dependability without the usual financial strain of buying new.
Top Reasons to Trade Up Today
Drivers throughout neighborhoods like Barboursville and St. Albans use this program to “refresh” their ownership experience. By trading in, you gain:
- Extended Warranty Protection: Enjoy a fresh 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, providing peace of mind for your daily drives around Flatwoods and Chesapeake.
- Enhanced Safety Features: Access the latest Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, designed to improve hazard detection on the winding hills and varying weather common between Cascade-Chester and Russell.
- Reduced Maintenance Expenses: New tires, brakes, and fluids mean fewer service worries, especially while tackling potholes from Route 60 to West Hamlin.
- Individualized Trade Offers: We base trade values on your Subaru’s unique service record and our current inventory demands, unlike generic online approximations.

At River City Subaru, led by Chad Rhodes—one half of “The Twins” along with Chuck Rhodes in service—we focus on honest conversations with no pressure. Here’s how easy upgrading can be for families coming from Russell, Chesapeake, or even nearby South Point:

Your Subaru Guaranteed Trade-In Program (GTP)
Owning a Subaru brings access to the Guaranteed Trade-In Program (GTP), a no-negotiation figure set monthly by Subaru of America. This ensures Tri-State owners from areas like Logan, Chesapeake, or Woodbend Cove receive a fair price
regardless of fluctuating market conditions. If your travels include daily routes crossing city limits between Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia, especially near Catlettsburg or Huntington, it’s wise to check your current GTP value regularly.
