Was going to Lowe's this morning and saw this sitting on a lot that normally sells late model low mileage Trucks, Jeeps, and Imports.

74,826 on the odometer, lots of pics on their web page.

 
Original list price according to Cars101 would have been $25,485.
Carfax very clean, looks like the local Subaru dealer did all the service.

Almost is tempting me to trade my 2008 that has issues and 180,000 miles.

Nah I wouldn’t touch that as it’s got the EJ25D. 

Smooth engine when it’s operating properly, nasty head gasket which started the whole EJ25 reputation of having forever headgasket issues. 

Nice looking vehicle, I’d recommend having a game plan for when that EJ25D gives you issues. STi conversion been done many times before, great candidate for it

2.2 swap.  Runs for ever.

I had a 97 Legacy GT Wagon, a long while back.  2.2 in that one.

Gave it to daughter cause she needed another car.

With the reminder to keep it full of coolant and oil.

Did neither, blew the head gaskets...........

 

As far as this Outback, my current 2008 with 180,000 miles needs head gaskets due to external coolant leak.

So if I am pulling engine, might as well fix the one I have.
