We buy Subarus — head gaskets and all

Sell My Subaru

Plenty of Subaru owners keep their vehicles a long time, which is why the ones we see carry real miles and real repair quotes. That’s fine with us. Any Subaru that starts, drives, and has a working key is a Subaru we want to price — one form, one clear offer, guaranteed for 7 days.

The offer we make is the offer you get for 7 days, when the car matches its description. If hidden or unreported damage is found at pickup, any adjustment is shown with photo evidence before you decide.

The Subarus we buy

Every Subaru on this list is a vehicle we actively buy in the Valley — running, with a working key, in almost any condition. Pick your model for the details, or use the offer form for any Subaru:

Subaru Ascent · Subaru Crosstrek · Subaru Forester
Subaru Impreza · Subaru Legacy · Subaru Outback
Subaru WRX

High mileage and honest wear are normal for this brand, and both are priced into our offers from the start. We buy across Fresno, Clovis, Madera, and Sanger, pay at pickup, and handle the smog and DMV paperwork after the purchase — you just sign and hand over the keys.

Subaru problems we still buy

These are the problems that follow the Subaru name around the Valley — the repair quotes that end up on our intake forms. Each one is priced in from the start, not used as a reason to walk away:

FB engine oil consumption
Head gasket failure on older EJ engines
Excessive oil consumption
CVT chain slip recall and transmission replacements
Windshield cracking complaints
Battery drain and liftgate module issues
Brake judder and premature wear
CVT valve body and solenoid failure

Add the usual used-car issues — failed smog checks, expired registration, tired interiors — and the answer stays the same: if it starts, drives, and has a working key, we’ll price your Subaru for what it is.

Two of those deserve a closer look, because they come up again and again when Subaru owners call us:

FB engine oil consumption. First-generation Crosstreks with the FB20 engine share the Impreza's documented oil consumption issue and were included in Subaru's settlement and warranty extensions. Low-oil warnings between changes are a common complaint behind sales.

Head gasket failure on older EJ engines. Older EJ engines are known for head gasket leaks that can lead to overheating. Engine-out repair costs lead many owners to sell instead.

How selling your Subaru works here

Step 1

Tell us about your Subaru

One short form — year, model, mileage, and 12 quick condition questions. Honest answers are what let us hold the offer.

Step 2

Get one clear offer

We check the real market for your exact Subaru and send one offer — no instant lowball from a computer. If the vehicle matches its description, the offer is guaranteed for 7 days.

Step 3

We pick it up, you get paid

Free pickup in the Fresno–Clovis area, often as soon as the next day when scheduling allows. You sign, get paid at pickup, and hand over the keys — we handle the smog and DMV paperwork after the purchase.

One honest limit: the car does need to start and drive, and have a working key. Fixable problems are our specialty; a car that can’t move under its own power isn’t a fit.

Subaru seller questions

Which Subarus do you buy?

All of them, any age — Ascent, Crosstrek, Forester, and Impreza, and the rest of the lineup — as long as the vehicle starts, drives, and has a working key. Japanese vehicles of any age are a standing want here.

My Subaru has a mechanical problem. Will you still buy it?

Usually, yes. The Subaru problems we price in most often are FB engine oil consumption, head gasket failure on older EJ engines, and excessive oil consumption — along with failed smog checks, check-engine lights, and expired registration. What we can’t buy: no working key, a blown engine, a Subaru that won’t start or drive, or major structural damage.

My Subaru’s title is lost or in someone else’s name. Can I sell it?

Often, yes. Tell us the title situation in the application — lost titles, titles signed by a previous owner, and lien paperwork are situations we walk through every week, and we’ll explain the correct next step before scheduling pickup.

How fast can you pick up my Subaru, and when do I get paid?

Pickup can be as soon as tomorrow in the Fresno–Clovis area when scheduling allows, and you’re paid at pickup — after a quick check that the vehicle matches its description, you sign, get paid, and hand over the keys.
