any Subaru owners?

[vixen]

i am looking at buying a 2015 Subaru Outback
but i would like to hear your thoughts on them if you own one

also, there is a 2015 Outback Limited with 182000 miles (a retired couple that frequently traveled from MN to FL) for $13000....too risky? or will the Outback go to 300,000 miles...i don't really want to get another vehicle for 10+ years (i am currently driving a 1999 Toyota Soloara)

feel free to tell me other SUVs you would recommend....$20,000 budget

thanks

I put 300,000 on my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. Nice suv that you really get your money’s worth. Jeeps are tough. I since, have moved to a full sized Chevy pickup. Got it a1.5 years ago, a 1996 Chevy extended cab shortbox with topper & 4 wheel drive. It had 110,000 on it with mint body, no rust,one owner, had it parked in heated garage for long stretches. Have 160,000 on it now and plan on driving it for forseable future. Good luck with your suv search !

I sold cars from 2010-2016, and am still in the business (no longer on the floor, have been an F&I manager since 16)

I worked at a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram store, and am now at a GMC/Buick/Cadillac/Chevy store. So never sold new Subarus but I am pretty darn familiar with most brands & models.

Outbacks are generally very good vehicles but I would not be willing to pay that much for an Outback with so many miles.

I don’t think I could stomach anything more than several thousand $ for almost any vehicle flirting with an odo of 200K - other than a mid-late model diesel truck

Late, but agree. 10+k for a vehicle pushing 200k miles seems crazy to me

I've been in the automotive business for over 16 years. Most of it in the garage. While I have never worked for a Subaru dealership, I am fond of the product. I've seen plenty of Outbacks get 200,000+ miles. However, that price point is what would put me off of that one. Sure, the old couple/highway miles narrative is fine, but that's a pile of miles for the money. They hold decent value, but that still seems about $4500 too high for what I would feel comfortable with.

13k for a Subaru with 182k on it is like trading Saquon for Fournette

I've been driving Subaru cars on snowy Alaskan roads for the last 30 years; worth every penny if you ask me.

At the end of the road in Homer.

Don't know about that guy, but ...

Last summer I was looking for a car for my son and bought a 2007 Outback with 210K miles. Original buyer kept it for 4 years, and the family I bought it from had it for the last 12 years. It had spent the year before I bought it parked, gathering dust, forgotten. One day a friend called me and said he saw it FSBO in front of a random house. I was actually out of town, the car was going to sell quick, so my friend bought the car for me and I paid him back when I got back in town. Bought it sight-unseen, but trusted his judgement.

Got it for $2500. Had a tune-up, brakes, tie rods and most non-struts suspension, alternator, battery, new tires and maybe a couple of other things. The parts+labor cost about $1500K.

Car runs and feels like kind-of-new. Been on the road and handled 900 mile weekends with no problem.

I usually drive a car until it stops driving at some point near or over 300Kmiles, but haven't ever bought a car with 200K+ miles. I knew two different guys I trusted to do the work inexpensively and took the leap of faith on this one. Glad I did. This car could last another six or seven years easy.
