What salvage value means for a Subaru Outback
A car's salvage value is what it would sell for at auction. The figures above are medians of recent auction sales, not a valuation for your specific car: the type of damage, whether it runs and drives, its title and its mileage all change what one car sells for.
If your Outback was totaled and you keep it, your insurer subtracts its own salvage estimate from your payout. Our free estimate for your car, built from those details, lets you check that figure before you decide whether to keep it.
