You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with prior damage.

The current average of $13,603 sits slightly below last year's $13,792.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become a bit more favorable for buyers, which can make resale a little more competitive for future sellers.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2018 Subaru Impreza or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2018 if:

• 31.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.37% compared with last year.

Consider the 2017 if:
