iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer says it's challenging to find a deal on many low-mileage used Subaru models in today's market, but expanding your search radius can provide consumers with the best chance to see more savings.

"Even if you can't travel to the city with the greatest savings on your car, you will probably find greater savings beyond your local area, making the travel worth it," said Brauer.

If you need help finding a well-priced used Subaru Impreza in your city, check outside your local area. You could see better pricing and availability. Impreza shoppers will pay the most in Maine.
