Used & Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles
What is the difference between a used Subaru and a Certified Pre-Owned Subaru?
A used Subaru is a previously owned vehicle sold by the dealership, while a Subaru Certified Pre-Owned vehicle must meet specific age, mileage, inspection, and eligibility requirements established by Subaru. Certified vehicles may also include additional warranty coverage and program benefits.
Does All American Subaru sell used vehicles from other brands?
Yes. Our used inventory may include Subaru vehicles as well as cars, trucks, and SUVs from a variety of other manufacturers. Inventory changes regularly based on trade-ins and vehicle availability.
Can I trade in a vehicle I still owe money on?
In many cases, yes. The dealership can review your remaining loan balance along with the vehicle's trade-in value to determine how any positive or negative equity may affect your next purchase.
How is my trade-in value determined?
Trade-in values are generally based on factors such as mileage, condition, age, equipment, market demand, and current vehicle values. An in-person appraisal can provide the most accurate estimate.
Can I sell my vehicle without buying another one?
Depending on dealership policies and current demand, All American Subaru may be interested in purchasing your vehicle even if you are not buying another one. Contact our team to learn more about available vehicle appraisal options.
What should I look for when buying a used Subaru?
Consider the vehicle's mileage, maintenance history, overall condition, features, and previous ownership history. A dealership can also help you compare used and Certified Pre-Owned Subaru options based on your budget and driving needs.
