Why Buy Used | The Benefits of Pre-Owned Car Shopping in Fairfield, CA

Why Buying a Used Subaru from Fairfield Subaru Makes Good Sense...and Cents!

There are good reasons to opt for a good used car over a brand-new model. Maybe you're on budget and simply can't afford the higher sticker price. Or maybe you're a fan of a certain vintage of particular make and model (the 2014 Subaru WRX is favorite of rally drivers, for example). Or maybe you just like finding a good bargain on a high-quality used Outback or Legacy that still has many miles left on it.

A Slightly-Used Subaru Offers Great Value

In any case, used Subarus can offer car buyers great value. A new car typically loses 20 percent of its value as soon as it's driven off the lot, and another 10 percent after a year of ownership, regardless of how well it's maintained. That's a 30 percent drop-off in just one year! So if you're buying a pre-owned Subaru that's only two or three years old, you're avoiding that sharp initial loss in value.

Another good reason to give serious consideration to buying used is that cars are simply better-made and longer-lasting than ever before. A used Forester or Impreza with 50-60,000 miles on it is just getting broken in, and is likely good for another 100,000 miles or more before you have to deal with any significant repairs. Consider this fact: 96 percent of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today.

Certified Pre-Owned Subarus Are Truly in Like-New Condition

If you're starting to give serious consideration to buying used, take a look at certified pre-owned (CPO) Subarus, for even greater peace of mind. Every CPO Subaru must pass a rigorous 152-point inspection performed by a Subaru factory-trained technician to ensure quality and safety. Each CPO Subaru comes with up to seven years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage, 24/7 roadside assistance, a three-month trial Sirius/XM satellite radio subscription and a one-year trial subscription to STARLINK™ Safety Plus Package with Automatic Collision Notification.
