Subaru Outback
A pioneer of the modern crossover, the Subaru Outback's formula blended a car-like ride with the utility of standard all-wheel drive. It's the simple, rugged design and historical importance of early generations that now attract collectors.
Subaru Outback sold for a median of $5,750 over the last 12 months, based on 48 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $2,958 and $10,013. 155 currently for sale.
Launched as a trim on the Legacy wagon, the Subaru Outback became a standalone model in 1996. It helped create the modern crossover segment by combining a car-like ride with standard all-wheel drive and increased ground clearance, offering practical utility that resonated with buyers.
Collectors are increasingly drawn to the first (BG) and second (BH) generations for their simple, rugged design and historical importance. Manual transmission models and variants equipped with the 3.0-liter H6 engine are especially sought after. Their reputation for durability also makes them popular platforms for 'battlewagon' off-road builds.
The market is incredibly broad, with 79 recent sales showing an average price of $10,730. While many transactions are for newer daily drivers, clean, low-mileage examples from the late 90s and early 2000s are separating from the used-car pack and showing signs of appreciation.
Buying Tips
Head gaskets are a well-known failure point on 2.5L 4-cylinder engines (EJ25) through the mid-2000s; check for records of replacement.
Inspect common rust areas, including the rear quarter panels, rocker panels, and suspension subframes, especially on cars from northern climates.
Listen for clicking noises during sharp turns, which indicates worn CV axles that need replacement.
The timing belt on most 4-cylinder models requires replacement around every 100,000 miles, so confirm this service has been completed.
Based on 79 recent sales, prices range from $305 for project cars to $37,199 for late-model examples.
