If you’re trying to choose between a brand-new car or a used one, we suggest considering a used Subaru. While a new car can be exciting, it’s not the most affordable option for most people, and you can still get plenty of value and longevity from a used car, especially when it comes backed by the reputation and quality of Subaru.
The Reliability and Value of Used Subaru Cars
Reliability
Subaru stands out from other brands due to the reliability of their models. While many cars have predictable mileage marks for when they start to fall apart, commonly around 70,000 miles, it takes much longer for a Subaru’s components to start failing, making Subaru models more solid options than most other used cars.
The all-wheel drive feature that comes standard with most Subarus adds to their reliability because you can take them just about anywhere. They help you maintain control in almost any weather conditions including rain, snow, or mud, giving you the freedom to embark on whatever road adventure your heart desires.
Value
Every new car, regardless of the make, begins depreciating as soon as you drive it off the lot. Used cars have already depreciated to some degree, so you can buy them for less, and they retain more of the value you paid over time. A Subaru is an even stronger investment than other used cars because the automaker consistently delivers superior models year after year, keeping them in high demand and value even as they age.
It’s estimated that most cars will last up to 100,000 miles or more if they’re maintained well, but a Subaru’s lifespan is proven to exceed far beyond that range. Subaru owners tend to be loyal and take pride in their vehicles because of this and therefore are more likely to be diligent about regular maintenance. A carefully maintained Subaru can last for decades.
Reputation
The Subaru name is synonymous with its strong reputation for producing reliable vehicles that last. It’s been featured on lists of new and used cars to buy for many years, and most Subaru owners will have no shortage of good things to say about them.
