A certified pre-owned Subaru Forester offers most of what a new one does - Symmetrical AWD, EyeSight driver assist, and a proven reliability record - at a price point that’s typically $4,000 to $8,000 below an equivalent new model. Grand Prix Subaru in Hicksville maintains an inventory of CPO Foresters that have passed Subaru’s 152-point inspection.
Bottom Line: Subaru’s CPO program extends powertrain coverage to 7 years/100,000 miles from the original sale date, making a CPO Forester a compelling alternative to buying new in Nassau County.
- 152-point inspection required for certification
- 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty (from original sale)
- CARFAX vehicle history report included

What Subaru’s CPO Program Covers
The Subaru Added Security CPO program works in two layers. First, any remaining factory bumper-to-bumper warranty transfers with the vehicle. Second, Subaru adds a minimum of 1 year/12,000 miles of additional bumper-to-bumper coverage on top of the remaining factory warranty.
The powertrain warranty extends to 7 years or 100,000 miles from the vehicle’s original in-service date - whichever comes first. That means a 2023 Forester with 25,000 miles purchased as CPO in 2026 still has powertrain coverage through 2030 or until it hits 100,000 miles.
What the 152-point inspection covers: Subaru-trained technicians inspect every system - engine, transmission, AWD components, suspension, brakes, electrical, interior, and exterior. Vehicles that don’t pass are not certified. Any items found during inspection must be repaired to Subaru specs before the car can carry the CPO designation.

CPO Forester vs. New Forester: What You Give Up and What You Gain
Choosing CPO over new involves real trade-offs. A new 2026 Forester comes with a full factory warranty and the latest updates. A CPO Forester offers lower cost of entry, with most of the protection a new buyer gets.
| Factor | New 2026 Forester | CPO Forester |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | Higher | ✓ Lower |
| Powertrain warranty | ✓ 5 Yr/60K from new | 7 Yr/100K from orig. sale |
| Depreciation hit | Buyer absorbs first year | ✓ Already absorbed |
| Vehicle history | ✓ None (brand new) | CARFAX provided |
| Latest model year | ✓ Always current | 1-4 years old typically |
CPO financing rates are often lower than standard used car rates - sometimes matching or approaching new-car APR. Subaru Motors Finance periodically offers promotional CPO rates that make the monthly payment math work well, especially on a 60-month term.
What to Look for When Buying a CPO Forester in Hicksville
Even with a CPO certification, a few minutes of your own inspection is worthwhile. Certified vehicles meet Subaru’s standards - but knowing what to look for helps you ask better questions and feel confident about the specific vehicle.
Safety ratings are a key reason the Forester remains popular with Nassau County families. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has rated Forester models favorably across multiple generations. See NHTSA safety ratings for specific model-year crash test data on the vehicle you’re considering.
FAQs: CPO Subaru Forester in Nassau County
What years of Forester are typically available as CPO?
CPO Forester inventory at Grand Prix Subaru typically includes vehicles 1-4 years old, often model years 2022-2024. Availability changes regularly. Browse the current used inventory to see what’s in stock now.
Is the Subaru CPO warranty transferable if I sell the car?
Yes - the Subaru Added Security CPO warranty is transferable to a subsequent private-party buyer. This adds resale value compared to a non-certified used vehicle.
Does the CPO inspection fix items that fail?
Yes. Vehicles that don’t meet Subaru’s standards must have failing items repaired or replaced before earning CPO certification. A vehicle that can’t be economically restored to spec is not certified.
Can I get a pre-purchase inspection on a CPO vehicle?
You can request an independent inspection, though CPO certification means a Subaru-trained tech has already inspected the vehicle. Many buyers feel comfortable with just the CPO inspection, but independent inspections are always an option.
What finance rates are available for CPO Subaru vehicles?
Subaru Motors Finance offers dedicated CPO financing programs, sometimes at rates approaching new-car offers. Ask the Grand Prix Subaru finance team for current CPO rate programs and how they compare to standard used car financing.
