Subaru WRX Sti Depreciation & Resale Value

Subaru WRX Sti keeps an estimated 66% of its recent market value after 5 years — #125 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Subaru WRX Sti retains an estimated 66% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #125 of 530 cars we track. That is 3 points above the 63% five-year average for Sports in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Subaru WRX Sti sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $39,590 it falls to around $26,010 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,580, about $7.44 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Subaru WRX Sti bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
