Budd Baer Subaru Sales FAQ

Shopping & Vehicle Availability

Do you have the Subaru I'm looking for in stock?
Our inventory changes frequently, so the best way to find out if a specific Subaru is available is to contact our sales team. If the vehicle you're looking for isn't currently in stock, we can also help you find a comparable vehicle or discuss incoming inventory.

Can I reserve or order a Subaru?
Yes. Depending on the model and availability, our team can help you explore incoming inventory and available ordering options. Contact us to discuss the Subaru you're looking for and we'll walk you through the process.

Can I test drive a Subaru before I buy it?
Absolutely. We encourage customers to experience a Subaru for themselves. A test drive gives you the opportunity to evaluate the vehicle's comfort, visibility, technology, handling, and features before making a decision.

Do I need an appointment to visit the dealership?
Appointments aren't required, but scheduling one can help us make sure the right vehicle and a member of our sales team are ready for you when you arrive.

Pricing & Financing

How do I get your best price?
Our sales team will work with you to provide a clear, competitive price based on the vehicle you're interested in, available incentives, and your individual situation. We believe in providing straightforward information so you can make an informed decision.

What incentives and Subaru programs are available?
Subaru frequently offers programs for qualified customers, which can vary by model, location, financing or leasing arrangements, and time period. Our team can review the current programs with you and determine which ones may apply.

Can I get pre-approved for financing?
Yes. You can apply for financing through our dealership, and our finance team can review available options with you. Approval, rates, and terms depend on the lender and your individual credit application.

Can I finance a vehicle if I have less-than-perfect credit?
We work with customers with a variety of credit histories. Financing options vary based on your individual circumstances, so we encourage you to speak with our finance team about your options.

What is the difference between financing and leasing?
With financing, you're purchasing the vehicle and making payments toward ownership. With a lease, you're generally paying for the use of the vehicle during a specified term and mileage allowance, with options at the end of the lease depending on the agreement. Our team can help you compare both options.

Trade-Ins

Can I trade in my current vehicle?
Yes. We accept trade-ins, including vehicles that aren't a Subaru. Our team can evaluate your vehicle and explain how its trade value can be applied toward your next vehicle.

How do you determine my trade-in value?
Trade values can depend on factors such as the vehicle's year, mileage, condition, equipment, market demand, vehicle history, and current market conditions. A physical appraisal allows us to provide the most accurate valuation.

Can I trade in a vehicle that I'm still making payments on?
Yes. If you have an existing loan or lease, we'll work with you to determine the current payoff amount and explain how any equity or remaining balance affects the transaction.

Can I sell you my vehicle without buying another one?
Depending on current inventory needs and market conditions, we may be interested in purchasing your vehicle even if you're not buying another vehicle from us. Contact our team to discuss your vehicle.

Buying Online & Remote Shopping

Can I start the buying process online?
Yes. You can begin many parts of the process online, including researching inventory, exploring pricing and payment options, valuing your trade, and submitting a finance application. Our team can then help you complete the remaining steps.

Can I get a vehicle price without coming to the dealership?
Yes. Contact our sales team with the vehicle you're interested in, and we'll provide available pricing information and help answer your questions.

Can I complete my purchase remotely?
Remote purchase options may be available depending on your location and transaction. Our team can explain which portions of the process can be completed remotely and what will need to be completed in person.

Subaru Ownership

Why should I buy a Subaru?
Subaru vehicles are known for features such as standard or available Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, safety technology, practicality, and capability. The right Subaru depends on your needs, budget, lifestyle, and preferred features.

Which Subaru is right for me?
That depends on what you're looking for. Our sales team can help you compare models based on passenger space, cargo capacity, fuel economy, performance, technology, towing needs, and budget.

What's the difference between the Forester and Outback?
Both offer Subaru capability and versatility, but they have different designs and driving characteristics. The Forester provides a more traditional SUV profile, while the Outback combines SUV versatility with a wagon-like design and additional cargo and passenger flexibility.

Does Subaru offer hybrid or electric vehicles?
Subaru's electrified lineup continues to evolve. Our team can explain the current Subaru hybrid and electric options available and help you determine which type of powertrain best fits your driving needs.
