Description
Overview: This 2012 Subaru Outback Limited features a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine paired with a desirable 6-speed manual transmission. It is finished in grey with a clean leather interior and comes with a clean title in hand.
Mechanical History: Extensive recent maintenance performed within the last week includes new head gaskets, timing belt, water pump, radiator, and spark plugs. The cylinder heads were resurfaced with a complete valve job and new oil seals.
Condition and Maintenance: The vehicle has a fresh oil change and coolant flush. Tires were replaced last year and remain in great condition. The car has been smogged and is ready for its next owner.
Features: As a Limited trim, it includes premium amenities such as leather upholstery, cruise control, power steering, and a high-quality AM/FM radio system with air conditioning.
Market Highlights
- The Maintenance Premium: In the 2026 used market, the 2012 Subaru Outback with the 2.5L engine is often scrutinized for head gasket issues. By having these replaced along with the timing belt and water pump, the seller has addressed the most significant ownership risks, making this unit far more desirable than cheaper alternatives.
- The Manual Rarity: The 6-speed manual transmission was a dying breed in 2012. For a specific subset of buyers, this mechanical connection and reliability (avoiding older CVT concerns) make the car a 'unicorn' find that maintains a higher price floor than its automatic counterparts.
- California Lifestyle Utility: Southern California buyers value AWD wagons for weekend trips to Mammoth or Big Bear. The Outback remains the gold standard for this 'soft-roader' lifestyle, offering better ground clearance than a standard sedan while maintaining car-like fuel efficiency and comfort.
