Market Highlights
- The Cult Utility King: The Subaru Baja Turbo has transitioned from a niche curiosity to a highly sought-after modern classic. Its unique blend of WRX-derived turbocharged performance and pickup truck utility makes it irreplaceable in the current market, where buyers value versatility over generic styling.
- Southern California Premium: In the Temecula and San Diego markets, rust-free Subarus command a premium. This vehicle's proximity to specialized shops like Metro Performance adds a layer of buyer confidence that is rarely found with high-mileage chassis, supporting a price well above standard depreciation curves.
- Final Year Rarity: As a 2006 model, this represents the final and most refined year of Baja production. The Turbo trim with leather and sunroof is the 'holy grail' for collectors, ensuring strong value retention compared to the non-turbo variants or newer compact crossovers.
