What is my 2017 Outback worth?
Estimated value for a 2017 Subaru Outback typically falls in roughly $12,000 to $25,000 in private-party listings, with higher mileage or basic trims toward the lower end and lower mileage, well-equipped versions toward the higher end. Dealer trade-in offers are usually lower, often around $9,000 to $17,000. Exact figures depend on mileage, trim, condition, options, and location.
Understanding the 2017 Outback market
The 2017 Outback remains a popular choice for all-wheel-drive practicality and reliability. Value varies by trim—Base, Premium, Limited, and Touring—plus features like EyeSight, panoramic sunroof, and towing equipment. Market demand, regional pricing, and recent maintenance history also influence what buyers will pay today.
What drives value most
These are the main variables that influence the asking price and value estimates. Consider these factors when reading the ranges.
- Mileage
- Trim level (Base/Premium/Limited/Touring)
- Vehicle condition (cosmetic and mechanical)
- Accident history and title status
- Location and local demand
- Equipment and options (EyeSight, sunroof, infotainment, towing package)
- Ownership history (one-owner vs multiple)
Understanding these factors helps you price or negotiate effectively.
Typical value ranges by trim and mileage
Below are ballpark ranges to guide you. Use these as starting points, and verify with valuation tools for your exact situation.
- Base/ Premium with about 60,000 miles: roughly $14,000–$20,000
- Limited/ Touring with about 30,000–60,000 miles: roughly $18,000–$26,000
- Higher mileage (70,000–100,000+ miles) or poorer condition: roughly $12,000–$18,000
Keep in mind that private-party buyers often pay more than dealer trade-ins, while dealer listings and certified pre-owned options can shift the range up or down depending on warranties and inspection results.
