The Forester is one of Subaru's most respected compact SUVs. As a compact, it has an athletic agility that other SUVs in the lineup don't offer. Subaru also goes less boxy on the Forester, giving it a more contoured and wavy look than other SUVs in the lineup. Even more good news exists for used Subaru Forester buyers. The Forester is already one of Subaru's most affordable models, but when buying used, you get massive savings at Maverick Car Company.
The 2020 Subaru Forester is an excellent example of what to expect from pre-owned models from this design. In 2020, Subaru added many modern driver-assist features to its Forester through the award-winning Driver EyeSight platform. Lane centering was a big deal that year. In addition to new safety features, Subaru also brought the Forester up to date. As a model introduced in 1997, the Forester has a lot of old school SUV advantages, too. There's a nice range of old school, intermediate, and modern Forester design in the Forester lineup.
Subaru's straightforward BOXER engine for the Forester was in great form in 2020. Rated at 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque, the performance is both modern and efficient. Efficiency is one of the first things people look for in a used Subaru Forester in Boise or any other SUV. By 2020, the Forester's engine was highly effective and efficient. Symmetrical all-wheel drive gave the model its signature handling experience and balance.
Late trims of any pre-owned Subaru Forester will offer leather-trimmed seats and a very nice center console. Part of the appeal of a used Subaru Forester in Boise is that it offers the option to get nicer features, but you can also equip it economically and still get a very comfortable interior. The 2020 Forester also got a nice 8" touchscreen infotainment system.
STARLINK is Subaru's excellent connectivity platform, and it's present on more modern used Forester designs. This system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and lets everyone integrate smartphone info into their Forester's touchscreen. Dynamic voice recognition is also a fairly recent addition to the lineup, but you will find it on very recent used Forester models at Maverick Car Company.
The advantages of buying a used Forester are sometimes obvious, sometimes not. For example, we all know that the monthly payment on a used model is much lower than a monthly payment on that same model bought new. However, the environmental impact of buying used is often overlooked. When you buy a used vehicle, you put a very valuable resource back on the road. Instead of sitting around, it'll be used for its intended purpose. It's sort of a form of recycling, just a lot more fun.
Buying used is also helpful to people who find themselves with credit difficulties. Because the down payment and monthly payment are so much lower on a used Forester, lenders are much more likely to approve a finance arrangement. New buyers often struggle to get financed, and some can't get financed at all. If you've experienced this problem, consider buying a used Forester. It's an excellent way to take home a quality SUV without experiencing all the frustration beforehand.
Finally, purchasing a used vehicle will give you a much better chance of getting more return from your next sale or trade-in. Used models don't depreciate very quickly, so if you trade or sell within the next few years, you'll get a whole lot of your money back. It's also worth mentioning that pre-owned models are great for people who like to restore older vehicles. The Forester dates back a couple decades, so you've got room to restore and customize many of those older models. It's a great project for the whole family, and the reward will be a very fun older Forester in Boise Idaho.
