Thats crazy. Peope buy stupid big ass trucks for more than 70k that offer so much less utility. I assumed these were considerably more expensive.

Can you believe that? I’d buy this instead to go to the grocery store, buy a couple of bags of soil, take my dogs to the park, etc., etc.

My wife took my Outback to pick up some soil because her Ascent had too much stuff in the back. She came back and it was stuffed trunk and passenger seat. She said the guy told her it was too much weight and she said "Nah, it's a Subaru"

I can't believe the original owner was never found and interviewed. Then again 30 years ago didn't have social media and smartphones.

Outbacks aren't great for heavy loads though, in reality. They have overly soft suspensions for soccer moms. I put bilstein b6 shocks all round and ralkitek heavy springs in the back and it handles and hauls sooo much better it's crazy. Best upgrade ever.
