• Inventory: There are 348 listings available.

What is the 2024 Subaru Forester's resale value?

The current average of $34,613 CAD sits slightly below last year's $39,056 CAD.

That softer pricing can help you buy in at a more favourable point, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. For a seller, the current trend suggests you should expect value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim rather than broad market momentum. The Forester's practical reputation should help keep demand steady, especially among shoppers who want a dependable all-weather SUV.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2024 Subaru Forester or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 27.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.38% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $29,805 CAD, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $34,613 CAD average.
• It emphasises everyday usefulness with standard all-wheel drive and a roomy cabin.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $37,923 CAD, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $34,613 CAD average.
• It adds more advanced tech, a quieter cabin, and a better-equipped base model.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, satisfaction, and current-market value, the 2024 is the primary choice. If you are more price-sensitive, the 2023 is the better value play, while the 2025 makes sense if you want the newer refinement and are willing to pay more.
