2011 subaru outback with 193k

Offer less. The timing belt is almost due for replacement so factor that in.

Exactly as FOR said plus a 9 year old vehicle will have some minor things go wrong with it at least. For how you plan on using the vehicle it doesn't sound bad at all. One owner and a strong service history! I'd definitely offer less because of the timing belt service that's coming due and there might be a couple of minor issues that need attention too. Hope that helps! Jim

thanks for the info. if I buy it ill be a fist time Subaru owner

I would have the head gaskets checked for leaks before buying. By your year car the problem was mostly fixed but if they go bad it is a costly repair. Unless you only "run around" a very little bit this car may not last long even if it is good now.

Oy oy oy! The second t-belt is probably only 5 years old, and they almost ALWAYS last 10years, so don't fear that one! As with all 2010-2014 OBs, the greater risk with age is the relatively high failure rate of the CVT. Fortunately there are many in salvage yards if you ever need one. It's a ridiculous bargain at $4k, even if you need rubber and all brakes. If you replace its wimpy rear anti-swaybar with Subaru's own STi 20mm one you'll dramatically improve handling for very low cost. At this age it may be worth draining and pumping in some fresh CVT fluid too. Any brand is ok. Keep tires hard at 35F/33R psi, and expect to eat a wheel bearing or three over the years. Good luck.

Further, as FOR suggested, even its better HG gaskets may be frail, so check underneath for coolant loss at #4 cyl, and oil seepage on right side (1 and 3). Struts and exhaust are probably ok, but strange "bops" over small potholes probably indicate minor suspension issues like end links, a BJ, or even a TRE. Distinguishing between a front WB noise and a worn inner CVT bearing can get tricky....
