The Legacy has long won raves for performance worthy of a midsize sedan. The 2015 version ushered in a new design thrust that speaks well of the Stars of Pleiades' efforts on quality and safety. If you are in the market for a newer Legacy and would like to let go of an older Subaru, it pays to know your options.
Getting to Know You
The 2016 Legacy has a number of plus points going for it if you, say, have an older Legacy but require "consistency" in ownership. Comfort, at any rate, is what many Legacy owners value. The new model will contain a dual-zone air conditioner, climate control, and highly adjustable front seats. The 2.5i Limited trim boasts of leather upholstery with wood trim. For driver support, the new Legacy will have halogen and fog lights, a backup camera, and the Starlink infotainment system.
As for power capabilities, you have a choice of two engines. The 2.5.i base model, the 2.5i Premium, and 2.5i Limited trims will have a 2.5-liter engine churning out 175 horsepower (HP), but the 3.6R Limited will contain a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine capable of 256 HP.
Trade Me
Some quarters vouch for the benefits of trade-ins. According to Cars.com, vehicle trade-ins eliminate the lengthy process of posting a For Sale ad in any medium and waiting for potential buyers to respond. Trusted New Orleans Subaru area dealers like Baldwin Subaru in Covington can facilitate this process through Subaru's Guaranteed Trade-in Program (GTP).
The GTP initiative is applicable to owners of Subaru vehicles. To qualify, vehicles should be at least one year behind the latest model year and must be in good condition. Another key requirement is that the trade-in should take place no more than six years after its original warranty took effect. A Bankrate article stresses that all the vehicle's registration and maintenance records should be included as a future buyer may require them.
