No secrets and no surprises, only Subaru Certified Pre-Owned offers such a comprehensive safety inspection.
Written by: Bradley Nutting
Each Pre-Owned Subaru Vehicle that is qualified comes with a nationally recognized, factory-backed, 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty and 24/7 roadside assistance. You can be sure you made the right choice because the benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned Subaru continue long after the inspection process. They stay with you whenever you drive, wherever you go. Here are some of the perks of buying Certified Pre-Owned.
