About
What this site is, and how it works
What this is
An independent index of the used Subarus that dealers publish to subaru.ca’s inventory feed, with each listing’s price history, a deal score, and context about its dealer and the market around it. It is not affiliated with Subaru or with any dealer, and nothing here is an offer — the dealer’s own listing is the authority.
Where the data comes from
Listings, prices, mileage and photographs are collected once a day from the public inventory feed on subaru.ca and the listing pages it links to. Trim, fuel type and safety-recall status come from Subaru Canada’s public VIN lookup, when it answers. The most recent collection finished ; every page’s footer carries the same timestamp, and a banner appears when it falls behind.
44 of the 96 retailers Subaru Canada lists publish to this feed — only 4 of Québec’s 27 and 3 of Atlantic Canada’s 8 — so these figures are not a national total.
Photographs
Photographs are the dealers’ own, copied from subaru.ca and served from this site. Many listings have none: dealers on Subaru’s hosted platform publish no photos to the feed, and new listings often have none on their first day. Today 659 of 1,145 live listings have no photograph of the car. An image that is also published for another car — a “coming soon” banner, an advert, a manufacturer render — cannot be tied to either, so it is not counted as a photograph of the car and is left out. The exception is one set of photos a dealer used for two similar cars: each listing’s page shows it after any photos of its own, under a note saying so, but it is never a listing’s cover and never counts as a photograph of the car.
What “no longer listed” means
A listing that disappears from the feed is kept here as an archive page with its price history, marked “Delisted”. Leaving the feed usually means the car sold, but not always, so two cases are recorded as something else: the same car re-posted under a new listing within 90 days (“relisted”), and a dealer’s whole lot vanishing at once while the dealer is still trading (“dealer left the feed”). Neither counts as a sale in any days-to-sell or turnover figure on this site.
How the deal score works
For each live, priced listing, we fit a straight line through the asking prices of the other live listings of the same model and year — widening to 1 year either side when fewer than 5 match — against their mileage, and adjust for trim tier where enough of them share it. The line’s value at this car’s mileage is its predicted price, and the score measures the gap: 50 is priced at the line, each 1% under it adds 5 points, and 10% or more under scores the maximum, 100.
The bands: “Below market” from 70, “Good price” from 50, “Fair price” from 35, “Above market” below that. A band fitted on fewer than 10 comparables is shown muted and marked “(est.)”. A car is not scored at all without a real price, with fewer than 3 comparables, when its mileage is well outside theirs, when the line predicts no usable price at its mileage, when its price is under 30% of the prediction — a deposit or a placeholder, not a price, or when the dealer lists it as sold as-is — a price that leaves the repairs to the buyer, so it is not compared with other listings, nor they with it. The score is our estimate from asking prices, not a valuation and not a figure from the dealer.
Corrections and takedowns
No contact route for corrections or photo takedowns is set up on this site yet. Until one is, the dealer’s own listing is the authority on every car shown here.
Using the data
The same listings are available as JSON and as an RSS feed of new arrivals.
