Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2006 Subaru Outback worth?
A 2006 Subaru Outback has a median retail value of $4,603, with most appraised between $1,400 and $5,475. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $375 across 18 recent sales — the middle 50% between $300 and $800.
Why is the 2006 Subaru Outback so cheap at auction?

For the 2006 Subaru Outback that gap runs about 12.3× — $4,603 retail against a $375 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
