I'm looking at trading in my 2023 Subaru Crosstrek PHEV for a new Uncharted EV and have a couple of questions about trade-in value and financing.

When I bought the Crosstrek, I upgraded the sound system with an amplifier and some Focal speakers - this cost around $2k. I also just spent $800 new tires a couple of months ago.

Do dealerships take things like that into account when they come up with thier trade in value, or are those not part of the equation?

Should I return the sound system to the factory stock equipment? (I have it)

Are the speakers the same for the Uncharted? (I think the Crostrek was 6x9's in the doors and 4" rounds in the dash, but am not sure)

When I bought the Crosstrek, I upgraded the sound system with an amplifier and some audiophile grade speakers (Focal) - this cost around $2k. I also just spent $800 new tires a couple of months ago.

Right now there's a 0% financing special for the next month - if the vehicle I get has to be ordered, do the financing terms get locked in when I place the order, or are they subject to what's offered when the car is delivered?

Thanks!
