A first-time car buyer in New Jersey is questioning a major purchase decision after signing paperwork for a used Subaru Crosstrek, only to realize hours later that newer models with far better financing may have made more financial sense.
The buyer shared his experience on Reddit, explaining that he had agreed to purchase a certified pre-owned 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Premium for an out-the-door price of $28,000. That total included a $26,000 vehicle price and a $2,000 warranty package, financed at 6% through Wells Fargo. “So I bought a CPO car,” or certified pre-owned vehicle, he wrote, adding that the deal was completed at a Subaru car dealership in New Jersey.
