Subaru Legacy keeps an estimated 77% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #26 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Subaru Legacy retains an estimated 77% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #26 of 530 cars we track. That is 17 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 Legacy sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $26,810 it falls to around $20,670 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,140, about $3.36 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Subaru Legacy bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
