At Rafferty Subaru, we understand that maintaining your used Subaru vehicle's value over time is a key consideration for many drivers. Whether you're considering a pre-owned Subaru model or looking to maximize the value of your current vehicle, several factors influence its long-term worth.
Maintenance History and Service Records
Just like any reliable adventure companion, your Subaru model deserves consistent care to stay in top form. Having a complete service history doesn't just keep your vehicle running smoothly; it tells future buyers that your Subaru vehicle has been cared for by experts who understand these unique vehicles inside and out, which helps maintain its value.
Vehicle Condition and Safety Features
The overall condition of a used Subaru model significantly impacts its resale value. Vehicles equipped with the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology and comprehensive safety systems typically command higher values. Additionally, StarLink™ safety and security features contribute to a Subaru model's long-term worth when properly maintained.
Mileage and Usage Patterns
Whether you're commuting to work or heading out for weekend adventures, every mile tells a story in your Subaru vehicle. While it's true that mileage plays a role in resale value, Subaru models are built to go the distance. That's why you'll often see Subaru models with higher mileage still commanding impressive resale values.
Model Selection and Features
Adventure-ready favorites like the Subaru Outback and Subaru Forester have earned quite a following among outdoor enthusiasts and families alike – and for good reason. These versatile models tend to hold their value exceptionally well, especially when equipped with premium features such as durable leather upholstery that can handle muddy gear and advanced technology packages.
Market Timing and Regional Demand
Finally, simple supply and demand plays a big role in a vehicle’s value at any given point. For example, during our treacherous Pennsylvania winters, Subaru models with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® become particularly desirable.
