Subaru Liberty 2009 FAQs

Is it worth replacing the engine on a '09 Subaru Liberty?

In going order it’s worth $7000-$9000 depending on condition, so you have to consider if it’s worth spending $5000 on it to get it back on the road. It’s eight years old, has done 180,000 km, it’s probably best to sell it to a wrecker if you can get $2000 for it.
