Background on Subaru

Subaru VIN Check

Subaru began as an automaker subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. for decades. In celebrating its 100th founding anniversary, Subaru’s parent company was renamed Subaru Corporation in 2017. In 1954, Subaru released its first car named Subaru 1500, but only 20 were built due to funding and support issues. The Japanese automaker entered the United States market in 1968, with the founding of Subaru of America. After two decades, it opened its sole overseas plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Unlike many of its Japanese rivals, Subaru still builds almost 75 percent of its cars sold internationally in Japan.

The Subaru brand successfully inspired an impressive following among car enthusiasts. Young and educated buyers love its signature drive train engine, all-wheel/rough-road capabilities or its low-priced sports car markets.

  3. Check for special purpose designations, including taxi-use, rental-use, or police-use.
  4. Check for thefts. An active theft or previously recovered theft record may point you to undeclared damages or stolen parts.
