The 2016 Subaru Outback auction market at a glance
The middle half of sales ran from $300 to $1,450, a 4.8x spread, so the damage on the car matters far more than the badge.
82% still ran and drove when sold; most were lightly or moderately damaged, which props up the median.
The most common primary damage was front end (51% of sales), followed by rear end (23%).
The monthly median moved up about 65% from May to November; medians swing with the mix of damage sold each month, so read that as direction, not a forecast.
Next to neighboring years of the Outback, a 2017 brought $200 more at the median, and a 2015 brought $100 less at the median.
The typical one crossed the block with about 125,000 miles.
Where the money lands
A Outback that runs and drives with a clean title sells near the top of the range; heavy damage, missing parts or no title pulls toward the bottom. Answer six questions and the estimate adjusts to your car.

How much is a wrecked 2016 Subaru Outback worth?
Most sold for $300 to $1,450 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $700 across 520 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.
Does it matter if my 2016 Subaru Outback still runs?
Yes. 82% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.
Should I part out my wrecked 2016 Subaru Outback or sell it whole?
At a median of $700, selling whole usually wins: parting out takes months, and fees and the leftover shell eat most of the difference.
Can I sell a 2016 Subaru Outback with a salvage title?
Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
