Maybe you’re still trying to decide if you want to buy a new or used Subaru vehicle, or maybe you’ve already settled on a pre-owned Subaru Crosstrek or Subaru Outback for sale. Either way, you probably have a lot of questions. Different ages and mileages of used vehicles will be right for different drivers, but we can help you figure out what’s best for you.
Used Subaru Vehicle Model Years to Choose From
So what model years should you be thinking about for your used Subaru SUV or car? Assuming that the mileage is reasonable for the age, here are some factors to consider in deciding what age is right for your used car purchase.
- Safety. 2012 was a year that moved car safety forward quite a bit, with mandated electronic stability control and widespread use of side curtain airbags, so look for post-2012 model years if you want more modern safety features.
- Depreciation. The biggest depreciation in any vehicle happens over the first year after purchase, and most models have lost about 60% of their value after five years, although this can vary quite a bit.
- Your driving needs. If you know you’re going to be putting a lot of miles and wear and tear on your new-to-you car or SUV, you might want to consider a more recent year that has newer parts.
