Looking for a 2013-2014 Outback with 6MT and found this. What's a reasonable offer for this one below? worth pursuing? I am in NoVA area and MT is hard to find or sell here, you know DC area with all the traffic. This plus the accident gives it low resale value...

got a 30" matco breaker bar. Now looking for the same Matco 24" ratchet I had.

so it's BS. Matco is made in US. can't find any reference to it being outsourced.

which brand?

Link?

Interesting point. I have two 3/8, both all metal. Mac and Matco.

You might be better served with a Forester. It was the first Subaru to get the FB engine, starting in 2011. The Legacy and Outback didn't get the FB until 2013. This is very helpful. I thought about the Forester. Don't really understand what the nuances are vs. Outback. Other than it's shorter...

Jeeps - transverse mounted motor, looks like repairs will be more complicated the standard subaru engine layout.

What's a good offer on this 2012 2.5L with M/T? I'm in DC area with DC traffic so that M/T is a questionable proposition. Probably downright unsaleable. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/d/fairfax-station-2012-subaru-outback/7679545447.html

You're presumptuous. I *did* my research. I wanted to see if this forum could substantiate my conclusions or disprove them.
