A car is an asset, right? A buyer must weigh the pros and cons of fuel efficiency, emissions, power, and safety before making an educated decision, but a lot of other factors are often overlooked. Think about all the money you pay for a car. According to Kelley Blue Book, the average cost of a car in 2013 was around $32,000. I don't know about you, but I'd rather give all that hard-earned money to a company that gives the money back to the community I live in. Subaru takes community involvement as a corporate responsibility.
In January 2013, Subaru donated 200,000 meals to Feeding America. Over the past 20 years, employees have logged over 28,000 volunteer hours. Five Star Subaru is particularly involved in the greater Oneonta community in that there aren't specific businesses which we tend to aid. Instead Five Star seeks areas of the community in which aid is necessary and tends to those areas.
It's plain to see that Subaru gives back to their communities. So by investing in an environmentally-conscious way to safely get from point A to point B, you're also receiving some equity by investing in community projects and gatherings. So by owning a Subaru, you technically own a piece of your community's development, too. Giving back: it's just one way Subaru thanks you for everything you do for everyone else.
