We are, of course talking about the compact cross over SUV (that shares the same platform as the Impreza) manufactured by Subaru of Japan and not somebody who looks after trees. Although this vehicle could be of use to such a person – they even produce it in a 2.5XT turbo version for use as a mountain rescue vehicle by the National Ski Patrol. On a less professional basis, up until 2008 you could buy a new one with special edition L.L. Bean trim especially for the outdoor type wanting to drive off-road on wilderness trails.
Normal People Do Buy SUV’s
Admittedly, some SUV’s are purchased by people simply wishing to project a sort of “macho” image even if they do no more than drive them around town. However, by and large, the majority of this type of automobile is used by people who perceive that they really do need many of its features even if they rarely drive out of an urban (or at best, freeway) environment. Flexibility in the mix of people and loads that an SUV can accommodate is a major reason for their purchase. Plenty of room to take the kids to school; space to bring back bulky purchases from a store, or, pack in your sports equipment or vacation essentials; extra people carrying potential in the back plus plenty of space for a pet dog. All in a vehicle that has a good turn of power but is rugged, reliable and safe to drive.
All these features appeal to many city dwellers – especially those with young families. Plus; the ability to take them all out into the countryside at weekends or vacations.
Why Not Buy A New One?
Budget is the main reason why people choose to go for a second hand car rather than being the first to own it. Some owners do let their new vehicles become clunkers in a very short time; but, by and large, most appreciate the value that they have deposited into their auto and will maintain it in good condition until the time that they decide to offer it in part exchange for their next new vehicle.
Part Exchange Vehicles
Many people stick to the same marque if not model when exchanging their cars; therefore, a Subaru dealer will be offered many second hand ones and; when these are in good condition, they will be offered for sale as certified pre-owned vehicles. This means that they come with a full history and a degree of warranty.
