Limited supply of WRX STI

New owners will benefit from the limited supply of the performance sedans as well as Subaru’s reputation for build and reliability in all their vehicles. Legacy sedan and Outback wagon were recently recognized by Consumer Reports who compiled a list of the top ten cars most likely to go 200,000 miles. Two Subarus made the top ten list ; 2015 Subaru Legacy sedan and 2015 Subaru Outback wagon.

STI will retain its value

Subarus are known to go this many miles and more, and one thing you’ll notice about STI owners, is how long they hang on to them. Like a badge of honor, they watch the odometer to see it roll over the 100,000 mile and then 200,000 mile marks and beyond. Subaru WRX STI owners will likely keep their vehicles well beyond the three year mark, but if they decide to trade it in on a newer STI, the value will remain higher than other performance cars.
