Subaru - Forester (2004)
When you start searching for a reliable motion companion that balances adventure-ready capability with everyday practicality, the Subaru Forester often tops the radar. The 2004 model, in particular, has become a staple for those who want a well-balanced off‑roading capability without breaking the bank. Understanding the Subaru Forester price encompasses a mix of base MSRP, market demand, and longitudinal depreciation—factors that drive the final asking price and the value you’ll receive as a used Subaru Forester.

Depreciation is one of the most important metrics for anyone looking to evaluate the used Subaru Forester price. The Subaru Forester depreciation curve can be summarized by a few key milestones:
- First year: typically loses 15‑20% of its value within the first 12 months.
- Years 2–3: an additional 10‑12% decline per year, dropping to the 40‑45% range over three years.
- Years 4–6: a gradual 5‑8% depreciation each year, capping total loss around 60–65% after five to seven years.
- Beyond 8–10 years: the vehicle stabilizes around 30‑35% of its original MSRP, provided it has been well maintained and has low mileage.
How does this stack up? The Subaru Forester 2004 price context is critical because the model’s depreciation history can differ from newer models. A 2004 Forester with 120k miles, for instance, may have reached around 40‑45% of its original MSRP. In real terms, a well‑maintained 2004 Forester can offer significant savings for those wanting a blend of reliability and off‑road capability—especially if you’re comparing it to a newer 2010s Forester, which might sit at only a 30‑35% depreciation mark after a similar interval.
