What the numbers say

A 2020 Subaru Legacy still asks 66% of what a 2025 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 36 sedans we price, that ranks #17, right at the class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 6 (−20.6%), after which losses ease to about 12.6% a year. Mileage costs it 50%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 747 listings.
