2019 Subaru Share The Love Event | Ferguson Subaru


Today marks the start of the twelfth year of the Subaru Share The Love Event. The Subaru Share the Love Event was established in 2008 by Subaru of America as a way to bring Subaru owners together to make a difference in their community. 

Subaru and participating retailers [such as Ferguson Subaru] have donated a total of more than $145 million to a variety of national and hometown charities through the Share the Love Event. 

The 2019 Subaru Share the Love Event will run from November 14, 2019 to January 2, 2020. During the event, Subaru of America will donate $250, for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased, to a charity of the customer’s choice. 

Customers who purchase or lease their new Subaru at Ferguson Subaru, during the event can choose to have their donation go to one of four national charities or one local Oklahoma charity. 

The four national charities that can be selected include: 
• The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®) 
• Make-A-Wish® 
• Meals on Wheels America 
• National Park Foundation 

In addition to the four national charities listed above, Ferguson Subaru customers have the choice of donating to one Oklahoma charity - Hope Is Alive. Ferguson Subaru has teamed up with Hope is Alive for the third year in a row for the Subaru Share The Love Event. 





Hope is Alive is a wonderful, life-changing, Oklahoma based non-profit. Hope is Alive exists to radically change the lives of drug addicts, alcoholics and those that love them; to inspire hope, build foundations and change the lives of people affected by addiction. 

Hope is Alive provides specialized one-of- a-kind opportunities to men and women who are ready to take their recovery to the next level. Hope Is Alive has rehabilitation homes across Oklahoma (including Oklahoma City, and Tulsa), Kansas, and North Carolina. You can learn more about Hope Is Alive at: hopeisalive.net

Through last year's Share The Love Event, Ferguson Subaru was able to donate over $33,500 to Hope Is Alive! 



Ferguson Subaru will donate $50 to Hope Is Alive for every new Subaru purchase or leased, during the Share the Love Event; regardless of if the customer chooses Hope Is Alive as their charity or not. 

If a customer does choose Hope Is Alive, Hope Is Alive will receive a $300 total donation - $250 from Subaru Of America [on behalf of the customer] and $50 from Ferguson Subaru. Additionally, for every Subaru vehicle routine service visit during the Share the Love Event, Ferguson Subaru will donate $5 to Hope Is Alive. 

We are proud to partner with Hope Is Alive during this year’s Subaru Share the Love Event to support their work to radically change the lives of drug addicts, alcoholics, and those who love them. Get a great vehicle and support a great cause, during the 2019 Subaru Share The Love Event, at Ferguson Subaru.

Subaru Ranks Highest Overall in J.D. Power Automotive Brand Loyalty Study

Subaru, as a brand, is renowned for its vehicle reliability. In fact, 97% of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today. This commitment to high-quality, reliable vehicles has resulted in numerous awards and accolades, for the brand. 

A few of those awards include Kelley Blue Book's 2019 Most Trusted Brand, and the top spot in owner satisfaction, according to the American Consumer Satisfaction Index. Subaru can now add one more accolade to their belt. Subaru has ranked highest overall in J.D. Power's 2019 Automotive Brand Loyalty Study.

 

The Automotive Brand Loyalty Study calculates whether an owner purchased the same brand after trading in an existing vehicle on a new vehicle purchase or lease. Customer loyalty is based on the percentage of vehicle owners who choose the same brand when trading in or purchasing their next vehicle. [1]

In an article by Automotive News, Tyson Jominy, vice president of data and analytics at J.D. Power, had the following to say about Subaru's latest achievement, "Subaru meets its owners where they are and provides reliable and affordable transportation. In many ways, Subaru transcends economics. Celebrities, academics, outdoorsy types, your cousin back east all drive Subaru. But in reality only one Subaru model even starts above $30,000 MSRP -- the recently launched Ascent. The rest are all $27,000 or below." [2]

Here at Ferguson Subaru, we believe in the product we sell, and greatly appreciate our customers’ loyalty to the Subaru brand. If you haven’t tried a Subaru before, come see us and see what it’s all about! Ferguson Subaru is Northeast Oklahoma's premier Subaru dealer.

Three 2019 Subaru Models Earn Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards

Subaru has earned not one, not two, but three Best Resale Value Awards for three 2019 models. The 2019 Outback, 2019 Legacy, and 2019 Crosstrek have each won Kelley Blue Book’s 2019 Best Resale Value, in their respective categories. 

2019 Subaru Outback
Best Resale Value: Midsize SUV/Crossover – 2-Row 


2019 Subaru Legacy
Best Resale Value: Midsize Car 


2019 Subaru Crosstrek
Best Resale Value: Compact SUV/Crossover 


 2019 Subaru Outback

Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value Awards are based on projections from the Kelley Blue Book Official Residual Value Guide. Kelley Blue Book Residual Values are established by experienced automotive analysts that review statistical models built upon millions of transactions. Vehicles that earn the highest five-year residual values, expressed as a percentage of their original Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), are selected for these prestigious awards. These awards, like all the KBB.com new- and used-vehicle information, are designed to help consumers make more informed car-buying decisions. 

The Outback earned its fourth win in its segment for KBB’s Best Resale Value Awards. The roomy Outback is a master of everyday versatility and outdoors-oriented activities. The 2019 Outback offers a wide range of innovative features, including: smart phone integration with Apple CarPlay™ and Android™ Auto, standard Subaru EyeSight, X-Mode with Hill Descent Control, 8.7-in. ground clearance, Active Torque Vectoring, and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. 

The Legacy earned its fourth win in KBB’s Best Resale Value Awards. The Subaru Legacy remains the only model in its segment – the midsize sedan segment – to come standard with All-Wheel Drive. The combination of Subaru’s standard Active Torque Vectoring and acclaimed Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive give the Legacy confident grip in all weather conditions. Like the Outback, the Legacy also features EyeSight as standard equipment across all trim levels. 

The Crosstrek is Subaru’s third-best-selling model. With available EyeSight Driver Assist Technology and standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the Crosstrek is poised to remain atop the small SUV/crossover segment. The Subaru Crosstrek has no problem clearing any type of terrain, with 8.7 inches of ground clearance. 

These awards reinforce Subaru’s commitment to providing customers with vehicles made to the highest standards of value, dependability, reliability, and safety.
