Analysis
The Outback 2.5i Touring is the top of the 2019 line: leather, moonroof, navigation, EyeSight, all the wagon virtues. Nothing wrong with the car itself, and the black paint presents well in the listing photos.
The problem is the odometer: 163,205 miles. The ask is $15,310, which is what the market charges for 90k-mile Tourings — $15,900 for a 93,727-mile car, $16,992 for a 130k-mile car, $13,135–$13,400 for 140k-mile cars. At 163k, this car has 20–70k more miles than everything priced near it.
Subarus run long when maintained, but the CVT at this mileage is a real budget line item, and the price gives you zero discount for taking the mileage risk. Buy the miles you need at this money, not these miles at this money.
