Used 2019 Subaru WRX STI for Sale nearTacoma, WA

How much does the 2019 Subaru WRX STI cost?

Prices have softened 6.01% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 331 listings available, which suggests a workable amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $25,535.81, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2019 Subaru WRX STI a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the model’s rally-inspired performance sedan formula gives you serious speed with everyday usefulness. The standard all-wheel drive broadens its capability, while the overview frames it as a car that feels special on back roads or at a track day. It is best suited to you if you want an enthusiast-first car that still works as a practical daily driver. 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Subaru WRX STI reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The overview also makes clear that this is a demanding ownership proposition: it is not cheap to buy or maintain, and many examples have been heavily used, abused, or modified. For used buyers, the biggest long-term risk is ending up with a car that has been driven hard or neglected, so condition matters as much as mileage.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Subaru WRX STI?

At 68.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a full vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection from a shop that knows performance cars. Focus on signs of modification, abuse, and deferred maintenance, since the overview warns that many examples have been heavily used or neglected. Pay close attention to overall condition, because a clean, well-kept car is likely to be a much better ownership experience than a cheaper but questionable one.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Subaru WRX STI?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting deep discounts everywhere.

If you find a listing below $25,535.81, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Subaru WRX STI's resale value?

The current average of $26,451 sits slightly below last year's $28,143.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more carefully now, but it also means future sellers may not see rapid appreciation from today’s average unless the car is especially clean. Because the overview says older versions are already steep and likely to rise as clean examples become rarer, well-kept cars should remain more desirable than rough ones. For you, that means condition and originality matter a lot if you want to protect resale value later.

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 2019 Subaru WRX STI or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 68.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.01% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $30,856, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $26,451 average.
• It adds a more focused, old-school performance feel.

The bottom line: You should start with the 2019 if you want the better value and are willing to shop carefully for condition. If you are price-sensitive, the 2019 is the smarter path; if you want to spend more for a newer model year, the 2020 is the alternative to compare.
