In 2015, I bought a used Subaru Outback Wagon nearing 115,000 miles for about $5K. It's 2022, and it's at 150,000 miles. I'm the second owner of the car and in 7 years I've put only 35K miles on it. I knew that a 15 year old car (at the time of purchase) would be needing some replacements/...

I have a 2009 outback with 173,941 miles on it. A dealership has told me that all of the following repairs need to happen, and I'm wondering whether it sounds crazy to do $6676 of repairs on a car that carmax is offering me $2800 for? I'm pretty inclined to just sell it and get into something...

I have a 2012 limited with 200k miles. It has internal engine issue and the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Replacing it with a good condition used engine is coming out to $4,500 ish. It has been well maintained over the years and other than that is in really good condition. I have...

Need to replace heads on my 02 outback, wondering what I should get. Been looking at kits, but have heard multiple -&+'s about them. Was thinking about going with fel-pro. Just wondering what everyone's opinions are.

Bought my 2019 outbackfrom Carmax knowing it had these issues. Wondering if its work 950$ to pay an autobody repair place to fix it. 1. Door does not sit flush on driver side. Water/ice gets through. (My most likely guess is previous owner locked keys in car and had someone pry open to unlock)...

I got this car less than a year ago it's 2013 and I've already driven it across the country and put around 30k miles on it without incidence but using my covered parking space for the first time which has a speed bump directly at my spot I did a number on the bumper making a huge dent and...

The car: 2001 Subaru Outback 2.5L automatic, Limited edition, 217k miles Hello, all! I became a lurker to this forum in September as I'd just bought this car--and WOW what a forum it is, holy smokes--but man I wish I didn't need to post about my new-old car so quickly. :cry: The backstory...

Hey there. I recently purchased a 2012 Subaru Forester from a dealer 3 weeks ago with 96000 miles on it. All was well until yesterday I sped up to pass someone on the highway and the check engine light, cruise control light and off road light all came on at the same time. Plugged in my OBD2...

Had my Outback for about a month and just left some hairline scratches in my infotainment trying to vacuum it (stupid, I know). They are driving me NUTS!!!!! I'm afraid that putting any cleaners on it will only make it worse. Obviously, I wouldn't use an abrasive. I read meguiars 17 clear...

I have this rust hole in my 2001 Subaru outback and if I didn't care how it looked (cuz you can only see it if you open the door, what would be the best way to fill or fix it? my initial thought was to sand it off, and do the rust hole patch kit wire mesh stuff but forget all the Bondo sealants...

I have a 2005 Outback, approx 130K miles. Have an odd problem, in that I've had to replace the upstream O2 sensor twice in about 2.5 - 3 years, and I think it's going bad again approx 18 mos. after last change. Ran fine until recently Is there something that could be causing the O2 sensor to...
