Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback Win Consecutive Vincentric Best CPO Value in America™ Awards

It's no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant shifts in people's spending habits. That fact is just as true in the automotive industry. As David Wurster, Vincentric President, puts it, "“Many people in the U.S. are being impacted by the current economic uncertainty and are looking to save money by purchasing used vehicles." [1] Here at Ferguson Subaru, serving the Greater Tulsa Metro, we've seen our used car shoppers grow in numbers, since the start of the pandemic. 

 

Mr. Wurster goes on to say, "Consumers looking to buy a certified pre-owned vehicle want to know that their choice will give them the value they need for their money. Our [Vincentric] awards can guide consumers and help them make decisions with confidence, especially with so many brands showing strong CPO value by winning Best CPO Value brand awards on a consistent basis.” [1]

 

Subaru is one of those brands who have proven their strong CPO value by consistently winning Vincentric Best CPO Value in America™ awards. In the 2021 Vincentric Best CPO Value in America™ awards, both the Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback have retained their crowns, in their respected segments. For the second consecutive year, the Subaru Legacy received the award in the Mid-Size segment; while the Subaru Outback earned the top spot in the Mid-Size SUV/Crossover segment, for its fourth consecutive year. 

 

Vincentric, LLC is a privately held automotive data compilation and analysis firm headquartered in Bingham Farms, Michigan. Vincentric provides data, knowledge, and insight to the automotive industry by identifying and applying the many aspects of automotive value. [1] To determine the 2021 Vincentric Best CPO Value in America™ Award winners, Vincentric conducted a statistical analysis to reveal which vehicles had lower than expected ownership costs given their market segment and price. Vincentric analyzed over 15,000 vehicle configurations using eight cost factors: depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. [1]

 

 

Lower operating, insurance, and maintenance costs (compared to their respected segment competition) have all been contributing factors in both the Subaru Legacy's and the Subaru Outback's continued success in the Vincentric Best CPO Value in America™ awards. 

 

Consumers looking to purchase a CPO vehicle have added benefits when it comes to Subaru CPO vehicles. Every Certified Pre-Owned Subaru gets a 152-point safety inspection and comes with a factory-backed 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain (from original warranty start date). All the benefits Subaru puts into their CPO package are all there to assure consumers that their vehicles are built to last. In fact, 97% of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today.

Subaru Has Record-Breaking Month and Record-Breaking Year

Subaru of America had a record breaking December. Subaru sold a total of 56,274 vehicles, in December, making it the best month ever for Subaru, eclipsing the previous best month of September 2015 (53,070). The month also marked the 22nd successive month of 40,000+ vehicle sales for the Japanese automaker, which continues to outpace the industry. 

December didn't just mark an impressive month; it also capped the end of a record breaking year for Subaru. It was the best year in Subaru's history. It was also the seventh consecutive year of sales records for Subaru of America and eighth consecutive year of sales increases. 

Every vehicle in Subaru's line-up of award-winning sedans and SUVs help contribute to the record-breaking success. 

Taking a look at Subaru's sedan line-up, the Subaru Legacy sedan achieved 60,447 sales in 2015. On the performance side, the company’s WRX and STI models were up 32.3% with annual sales of 33,724. 

Subaru's SUVs, the Forester, Outback, WRX/STI and Crosstrek, were also notably strong as each carline achieved new annual sales records. The Forester and Outback mid-size CUVs finished the year with sales of 175,192 and 152,294, up 9.5% and 9.7%, respectively. The small CUV entrant, Crosstrek, added 88,927 sales to the year-end total. 

Here's a list of accomplishments Subaru achieved at the end of December, 2015:

• 22nd consecutive month of more than 10,000 Outbacks sold; Best Outback month ever 
• Best December ever for Legacy, Forester, WRX/STI, Outback and Crosstrek

Subaru’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Thomas J. Doll, had the following to say about Subaru's continued success, “As our franchise closes its seventh consecutive annual sales record, we have to give our heartfelt thanks to our retailers, distributors and colleagues, as well as Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. for making these historic results possible." 

With a focus on customer-oriented products, Subaru is well positioned to continue its success into 2016. Not only are Subaru vehicles fuel-efficient, every Subaru comes with Subaru's famous Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, giving the vehicles unparalleled traction and control. 

Ferguson Subaru is here to serve Northeast Oklahoma. After signing the Subaru Love Promise, we've pledge to do right by our Tulsa-area community. The Subaru Love Promise is a pledge we made to continue making a positive impact in the world and in our neighborhood. We are also looking forward to Subaru's continue success in 2016, and give our thanks to our Broken Arrow, Tulsa, and Northeast Oklahoma customers for a great year in 2015.

3 NEW SUBARU MOVELS TAKE TOP HONORS IN KBB 2015 BEST RESALE VALUE AWARDS

How will your life look 5 years from now? If you're anything like us, it's difficult to say. Have you ever created a one year plan? You started out with a clear road map to stick to, but end up taking unexpected turns into uncharted territory- not where you originally planned to end up. So, how are we expected to know what's in store for us 5 years out? 

What if you told you, there's one thing you can count on. That’s, confidence - confidence in purchasing a new Subaru. Subaru recently earned the coveted Best Resale Value Brand by Kelley Blue Book in Three Vehicle Segment Awards for 2015. The Best Resale Value Awards recognize 2015 model-year vehicles for their projected retained value through the initial five-year ownership period. Like all of KBB.com’s new- and used-vehicle information, this award is designed to help consumers make more informed car-buying decisions. 

Winning this achievement gives Ferguson Subaru customers a clear indication that if they were to purchase a new Subaru today, they'd still be smiling 5 years down the road; smiling with confidence that their Subaru has maintained its value through the years. 

The three Subaru models that took home the 2015 Best Resale Value Award include the following in their respected segment: 

• Compact Car Category: 2015 Subaru Impreza 
• Sporty Compact Car Category: 2015 Subaru WRX 
• Mid-Size Car Category: 2015 Subaru Legacy 

Here at the Ferguson Subaru, we stand behind every vehicle we sell new or used. Stop in to our showroom located at 1501 N. Elm Place Broken Arrow, OK, to take a test drive and learn more about any one of the award-winning vehicles we have in stock.

2015 Subaru Legacy Revealed

It’s easy for us here at Ferguson Subaru to continually satisfy the needs of drivers in the Tulsa Metro, when we have such incredible, well-built automobiles at our dealership; such as MotorTrend’s “2014 Sport/Utility Vehicle of the Year” – the 2014 Subaru Forester, and the go-anywhere 2014 Subaru Outback. Our new and used Subaru's are blowing their Honda, or Toyota counterparts out of the water. And yet, Subaru continues to push the envelope with new and more innovating sedans and crossovers. Last week Subaru of America introduced the all-new 2015 Legacy at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show.

The 2015 Legacy takes several design cues from Subaru’s Legacy Concept revealed at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The production model combines efficient functioning and a sporty form. A “nosecone” front section smoothly combines the grille and bumper to create a sleeker design and coup-like profile. The 2015 Legacy will come standard with a rear-view camera, which is located closer to the center of the car for more natural imaging.

Still the only car in its class to come standard with All-Wheel Drive, the 2015 Legacy models will be equipped with a newly refined version of the Active Torque Split version of Symmetrical AWD. An electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch actively controls torque distribution in response to driving conditions and wheel slippage.

Offering a choice of 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder BOXER engines, the 2015 Subaru Legacy comes standard with Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission). With estimated ratings of 26 mpg city / 36 mpg highway / 30 mpg combined, the 2015 Legacy 2.5i matches or exceeds fuel economy of some midsize models that come only with front-wheel drive. The 6-cylinder model also sees fuel economy improve by 10 percent or more, with new estimated ratings of 20 mpg city / 28 mpg highway / 23 combined. A new aluminum hood reduces weight over the front wheels, helping to improve gas mileage and enhancing steering response.

The new 2015 Legacy will arrive at our Oklahoma Subaru dealership this summer. Go to our webstie at www.FergusonSubaru.com/2015-Subaru-Legacy to find out more information about the new Subaru sedan. You can always give us a call at 918-258-1800. Or stop by our dealership and test drive its predecessor the 2014 Subaru Legacy.
