Subaru Impreza Depreciation & Resale Value

Subaru Impreza keeps an estimated 81% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #11 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Subaru Impreza retains an estimated 81% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #11 of 530 cars we track. That is 21 points above the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Subaru Impreza sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $26,595 it falls to around $21,621 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,974, about $2.73 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Subaru Impreza bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
