2015 SUBARU OUTBACK 2.5i LIMITED AWD – REPLACEMENT ENGINE – COMPLETE RIDGELINE FB25 ENGINE RESEAL – FOUR NEW TIRES – OVER $5,600 IN RECONDITIONING

$11,995 146,203 Miles | Stock #J1091 VIN: 4S4BSBNC2F3356700 2.5L Subaru BOXER 4-Cylinder | 175 HP | AWD Limited Trim

If you're shopping for an older Subaru Outback, this is one you need to compare based on what has actually been done mechanically, not just mileage and price.

This 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited AWD has just gone through one of our most extensive Ridgeline reconditioning processes.

Before offering it for sale, we invested $5,634.12 into it, including a replacement engine, our complete Ridgeline FB25 engine reseal, cooling-system work, ignition components and four brand-new tires.

REPLACEMENT ENGINE + COMPLETE RIDGELINE FB25 RESEAL

This is the biggest story on this Outback.

We installed a used replacement engine backed by a 120-day warranty, but we didn't simply install the engine exactly as it arrived.

While the engine was out of the vehicle, we performed our Ridgeline FB engine reseal process.

That matters because there are seals and O-rings buried deep in these engines that are extremely labor-intensive to access once everything is back together.

Our current repair order specifically documents replacement of the three Subaru upper oil-pan O-rings along with numerous additional engine seals and gaskets.

Those upper oil-pan O-rings are exactly the kind of difficult-to-access sealing point we prefer to address proactively while the engine is already out.

This is much more than a basic used-engine swap.

NEARLY $4,900 IN ENGINE WORK ALONE

The engine replacement and reseal portion of the current work order totals $4,883.88, including more than $3,100 in labor and $1,700 in parts.

As part of that work, we installed or replaced:

• Used replacement engine with 120-day warranty
• Three Subaru upper oil-pan O-rings
• New oil pan
• New oil-pan gasket set
• New valve-cover gasket set
• Additional Subaru engine O-rings and seals
• Intake/plenum gasket set
• Exhaust-manifold gaskets
• Four new NGK spark plugs
• Two new ignition coils
• New serpentine belt
• New idler pulley
• New radiator
• New upper and lower radiator hoses
• New thermostat
• New radiator cap
• New engine mount
• Fresh 0W-20 full-synthetic oil
• BG MOA Advanced Formula

That's a huge amount of recently completed mechanical work for a used Outback in this price range.

NEW RADIATOR & COOLING-SYSTEM COMPONENTS

When you're doing major engine work, it makes sense to take care of the surrounding cooling system at the same time.

This Outback received a new radiator, new radiator cap, new upper and lower radiator hoses and thermostat components during our current preparation.

It also had significant cooling-system maintenance immediately before coming to us.

At 146,203 miles in September 2026, CARFAX documents:

Coolant flush Cooling-system inspection Cooling-system hose replacement Oil-cooler line repair/replacement Thermostat replacement

So the cooling system has received a substantial amount of very recent attention.

FOUR BRAND-NEW TIRES

We also installed four brand-new Advanta 225/60R18 tires.

All four were mounted and balanced and the TPMS sensors were checked during installation.

That's another $591.24 in current tire work that the next owner won't have to immediately spend.

TWO-OWNER COLORADO HISTORY

The CARFAX history is another strong point.

This has been a Colorado vehicle since new, and CARFAX shows only two previous owners and 28 documented service records.

The first owner leased it for approximately three years.

The second owner purchased it in 2018 and kept it for an impressive 8 years and 2 months, all in Colorado.

Long-term ownership like that is something we like seeing on an older Subaru.

EXTENSIVE PREVIOUS MAINTENANCE

The second owner continued putting real money into the Outback as the mileage increased.

At 84,599 miles, the vehicle received substantial service including:

• Brake-fluid flush
• Front brake service
• Four-wheel alignment
• Front struts
• Rear struts
• Rear brake service
• Wheel-bearing service
• Oil and filter change

Then at 126,723 miles, another major maintenance visit included:

• Control-arm replacement
• Rear brake service
• Sway-bar links

And in July 2026, shortly before our current reconditioning, it received a new battery, coolant service, cabin air filter, oil service and wheel-bearing/hub replacement.

That's exactly the kind of recent maintenance history we want to see.

28 CARFAX SERVICE RECORDS

CARFAX shows 28 documented service records and regular maintenance going back to when this Outback was nearly new.

The vehicle has accumulated 146K miles, but it hasn't simply been driven without maintenance.

There is documented history of oil changes, brakes, suspension work, alignments, wheel-bearing work, spark plugs, valve-cover gaskets, cooling-system maintenance and more.

Then we went through it again at Ridgeline and invested more than $5,600 in its current preparation.

WHY THIS OUTBACK IS DIFFERENT

There are plenty of 2015 Outbacks for sale with 140K-plus miles.

The question is what has already been done to them.

This one now has:

Replacement engine with 120-day warranty

Complete Ridgeline FB25 engine reseal

Upper oil-pan O-rings proactively replaced

New oil pan and seals

New valve-cover gaskets

New radiator

New radiator hoses

New thermostat components

New serpentine belt and idler pulley

Four new NGK spark plugs

Two new ignition coils

New engine mount

Four brand-new tires

Fresh full-synthetic oil

Full Ridgeline safety inspection and road testing

We've invested $5,634.12 getting it ready before sale.

That's the difference between buying an older Subaru based solely on a price tag and buying one where a substantial amount of expensive mechanical work has already been completed.

WHY BUY FROM RIDGELINE?

We don't simply wash vehicles and put them on the lot.

Every vehicle goes through a comprehensive inspection, receives the maintenance and repairs it needs, and is extensively road-tested before being offered for sale.

Our inspection covers the battery and cables, full module scan, power accessories, warning indicators, engine startup and idle, road-test drivability, HVAC, fluids, engine compartment, undercarriage, suspension, axles, fuel system, brake system, exhaust, tires and more.

Our goal is simple:

Sell vehicles we'd be comfortable putting our own family in.
