The 2011 Subaru Legacy: before you buy

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Subaru Legacy for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2011 Subaru Legacy for buyers, in plain words.

Recalls and complaints

There are 16 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 167 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, air bags and engine; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Engine and fuel

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Who the Legacy suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

How big it is

Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.

Rent it for a week first

A week with the Legacy answers more than any brochure. If the Legacy is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Choosing the right one

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Next step

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Subaru Legacy from us first.
