Where these numbers come from
Our Smart Estimate starts from the Subaru Outback's delivered price when new, then applies a depreciation curve, your distance measured against the Canadian average, condition, body-style demand, how well Subaru holds value relative to the segment, and the season you're selling in.
Nothing is hidden: run your own car and the tool shows every factor and what it added or subtracted. It's an estimate, not an appraisal — service history, accident record and tires all move the real number.
