Yes, there is a 1000 to 2000 trade-up program!! The details are as follows
(this comes from a Developer letter from Commodore dated February 2, 1990):

[deleting developer related stuff]

On the marketing front, we are pleased to inform you that Commodore is
implementing a new end-user promotion to increase the number of Amiga 2000
series owners. The A1000 Trade-Up Program, being announced to Authorized
Commodore Dealers today, offers A1000 owners the option of upgrading to the
A2000 family as follows:

    Trade-In Plus Cash    For          Retail Value       Savings

    A1000 + $2,999        A2500/30     $4,699             $1,700
    A1000 + $1,599        A2000HD      $2,699             $1,100
    A1000 + $999          A2000        $1,899             $900

End-users can contact their local Amiga dealers to arrange for the tade-up,
effective February 2 thru March 31, 1990.

Hope this helps.
