Thinking of buying the 2016 Subaru Legacy?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 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. Thinking about the 2016 Subaru Legacy? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 147 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, unknown or other and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Space and size
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the Legacy on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Legacy for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Want a price?
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
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 2016 Subaru Legacy from us first.
Ask us about the 2016 Subaru Legacy
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2016 Subaru Legacy for you and reply within one business day.
