    If you have plenty of time on your hands and are mechanically inclined, go for it. I’m not saying it’s a bad deal, I just know how much time it takes to keep vehicles on the road. I have been down this road myself. After many vehicle rebuilds, upkeep and wear and tear on my body, I would rather take my 6k and put it on a newer car, put the key in it and let the mechanics take care of it. Spending my weekend time off from my job, being underneath another “fixer upper”got old. Life is too short to miss time with your loved ones to fix another POS that I used all the time and be the repair guy on weekends is not fun. It gets old real quick. I put my hard earned money on a new one and do the service intervals. My hands are clean, my back and knuckles are fine and I get to spend time with my family. There is a cost for that method, I’m not saying it’s cheap, but I been a happy guy since I buy new and no fixer uppers in my driveway to concern myself with. Just my opinion. I’m like Danny Glover, I’m gettin too old to do this shit! Lol

    @@saltlight4347 nothing about grumpy, it’s an honest opinion. It’s my experience with old worn out vehicles that forever need to be repaired. I don’t care if that’s how you want spend your time. It’s my right to choose what’s works for me. Of the 27 vehicles I have owned over the years, of the last 5 new ones I owned, I have not had to turn a wrench or even pop the hood except for windshield washer fluid. That speaks for itself. And it is your right to work on cars forever. It’s your call, and I don’t have label you with a name on social media to get my point across. It’s all about choices we make during our lifespan. At least I know what to do in pinch if I’m ever broke down on the side of the road. Call triple A and take it to a shop for repairs. Good day!

    I agree as nearing the end of my do it yourself adventures I was helping a friend fix a Mazda B2000 transfer case. He had one end and I had the other using muscle instead of brains. Unfortunately for me he dropped it between my legs. I became an instant hulk to get that off my precious jewels. Since then I toned it down and now just buy new Honda's and/or Subaru's depending on the price and deals. At a certain time in your life the times you can be an instant hulk just wears away and then it's a matter of time vs money. With that said I still like to watch and learn, so no complaints from me and I love this channel. Brings back better times. Will I attempt these things with a couple of garage jacks? Probably not. Will my sons get into self car repairs? Yet to be determined. If they do, I will help them out and give advice on avoiding transfer cases repairs and doing things by pure muscle. I say to those who are jaded by this comment, it's advice, not being grumpy. Awesome times if you are so inclined to learn and fix things, as far as myself... I prefer to do wood working now than fix a car and I am sure there will be a time where wood working will also be a memory.

    I still love working on my cars but at 68 years old it gets tougher everyday, one of the hardest parts is constantly getting up and down to get parts and tools that you forget. I still enjoy doing my own brakes and saving money where I can but my joints aren't very happy for a couple of days after. I wish it wasn't so hard to bend over for long periods of time but I just work slower, don't be too hard on us older fellas because it's a great feeling of accomplishment to fix your own vehicles and save the much needed extra cash for family needs. I'm not giving up yet but it will be a sad day for me when I just can't do it anymore and have to pay for simple jobs. If you can crawl around under your car for long periods of time I applaud and envy you. Keep wrenching!!

With your help (videos) in 2018 we purchased a 2015 Outback (eyesight, sunroof, power hatch, 18" wheels, touch screen map radio), with only 27K miles that now has only 54k miles. To be proactive at 52K miles we had the CVT drop & fill, front & rear differential fluid changed at the steelership. Now in my 70s with any luck this Outback will still be running when I cross over the River Styx. (LOL). Thank you!✌ . .

Not bad for an 8 year old Subaru, really good find.

    No sunroof? Sounds so sad! I love my 2012 with the sunroof option because it floods the cabin with natural light. I bought the top trim of a 2012 Subaru Outback minus the big engine option because I wanted nice add-ons. I bought a few years older to get the features I wanted for a cheaper price. A 2015 Outback Premium would be just as expensive if not more so and it wouldn't feature as many nice add ons like the sunroof, leather seats, Harmon Kardon surround system, etc

We recently had all struts replaced and the driver front transaxle. First set of brake pads at 100k, and did all rotors and pads at 175k. We love this car! Came from GM and I still have a 3/4 ton yukon for towing, but this is the best vehicle for 98% of daily jobs. All of our cars has a purpose, but if i could only have one, it would be the outback!

Or was the lack of coolant the "fluid usage" issue instead and the owner was confused? Just rhetorically stating. Takes me 20 years to get over 200K miles, so perhaps more "highway" miles than stop and go driving. Keep these coming!

    I got a 2014 Outback 2.5 Premium with 50,000 miles on it in early 2020. I drive a lot (I mean a lot) for work so, as of now (mid-2023), I've just rolled over 165,000 miles. It looks a lot like that car, except with less surface rust (it was a one-owner car from Washington State that we got from a family member, and drove it cross-country back home to Maryland) and a dent in the front fender after being attacked by a deer, repairing the fender, and then being attacked by another deer all within the course of two weeks (I ended up just keeping the dent and using the flattened area to mount a CB antenna). Having mostly owned Jeeps (XJs, specifically), I'm intimately acquainted with rusty undercarriages, and have been doing everything I can to keep it clean and running well. It has been a trooper: again, I drive like 500+ miles per week for work (Maryland to New Jersey and back), and have taken it in the woods on numerous occasions (the thing is almost as much of a mountain goat as my XJs were). My biggest fear has been the CVT crapping out, though again it has handled like a champ (I'm furiously knocking on wood as I type this because I know as soon as I post it the wheels'll fall off or something). It's really grown on me as a car, and it's good to see that with proper maintenance and being careful with it, I could potentially squeeze another 100k out of it. And he's absolutely right -- the thing is a DEER MOUSE MAGNET. Good lord. Every time I get in it, I discover a new cache of acorns in a cup holder or something. They like making nests under the floor by the spare tire, and I'm pretty sure they're also responsible for my backup camera no longer working. At least they didn't chew through my AC controls like they did to my girlfriend's Scion. Anyway... awesome video, gives me a bit more confidence that she'll keep getting me where I need to go for the foreseeable future.

I hope this isn't a sign of bad things to come in the 6th gen. : P My 5th gen was the most reliable car I have ever owned by far.

    That car looks amazing. For a premium trim that car was heavily optioned. I knew it was optioned as in 2015 Eyesight was an option, and you can see the two camera's thru the glass. I owned a 2015 Outback Limited and loved it. Today I own a 2023 Outback Touring XT and the difference is amazing. My '23 Outback is my 3rd Outback, 4th Subaru overall since 2014. I think $6k is an awesome price for the car, especially in the crazy market today.

Still need to replace the radiator as the top inlet is crumbling apart, but doesn't leak. Still loosing coolant and it doesn't pull enough vacuum to lower the level in the overflow. I'm hoping it is the rad cap which came with the new radiator, we shall see. Can't wait to see the next steps on this 15.

    Nice deal on that outback man, I got a few years left of payments on my 2016 Accord LX. I’m thinking about getting a low mileage Outback Limited for around $20k when the Accord gets paid off as I want a bigger SUV that’ll be better at getting out to the spots I want to go & also be able to tow light trailers like a small utility trailer or a kayak trailer as well. The 4 cylinder would have plenty of power for me, test drove one a while back & the power felt good with it.

    I am driving a 2015 Subaru Limited that I got with 4000 miles from an estate in 2017. It has been one of the best running cars I have owned. It only has 60,000 miles and is garage kept well serviced. The only issue I have seen with it is that it will use a quart of oil in the 5000 mile oil change interval which never consider a problem. Your Outback seem to prove how well these cars hold up. I will be interested in seeing more of your videos on your progress.

    My only concern would be the transmission, as you already know that's not the best in Suburu's especially as the mileage increases. But there is always the exception and I probably would go for it if I had the extra money just to see what happens. Good luck, hope it has a lot of life left in it🙏👍
