Subaru Chosen as Brand with Best Resale Value

Subaru won ALG's Mainstream Brand Residual Value Award.
Three of its models also received individual segment awards from ALG: the Legacy, Forester, and the Outback.
ALG's awards recognize vehicles in each segment that are predicted to retain the highest percentage of their MSRP after a three-year period. Infiniti took the award for luxury brands.
Subaru also took 2011 Best Retail Brand honors in Kelley Blue Book's Best Resale Value Awards.
Kelley's award recognizes current and forthcoming vehicles for their projected retained value five years from now. Kelley also named Subaru Outback a Top 10 Best Resale Model. BMW was Kelley's top luxury brand.
Many car buyers don't consider the full cost of owning a car. Resale value can make a big difference so it's important to consider it in your car buying decisions.
3 Steps Every Car Buyer Needs to Take to Save Maximum Money
The key to getting the best deal is to gather price or lease bids from as many local dealers as possible. Then shop that best price around until no one can beat it. Here are the steps:Step 1 Get Prices From My Trusted Network
Select the vehicle you're interested in to see if there are local dealers in my network who will provide you with their best upfront price. You will get direct access to an internet sales manager who you can further negotiate with online (no need to visit dealership).Step 2 Get Prices From TrueCar / CarsDirect
TrueCar, and CarsDirect are my top 2 online price quote recommendations. These services show you pre-negotiated prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually pretty decent. But remember, you can still negotiate further.Step 3 Complete my Checklist
