Is $5,638 a good price for a 2005 Subaru Legacy?

$5,638 is the market average as of September 10, 2026. The $5,000 median is a comparison point, not a deal rating. Compare the same trim and mileage band, and check condition, equipment and vehicle history.

How many 2005 Subaru Legacy are for sale right now?

15 in total, nearly all pre-owned. Counts refresh daily from live dealer inventory.

Is this the trade-in value or private-party value of my 2005 Subaru Legacy?

These figures describe dealer asking prices, not trade-in offers, private-party sale values or completed sale prices. Use them to compare advertised vehicles. To find out what a buyer or dealer would pay for your car, request an offer that takes its mileage, condition, equipment and history into account.

How we calculate these prices

We track 15 active listings for this vehicle across dealer sites nationwide, updated every day. Average and median are computed from real asking prices on live listings. We exclude the top and bottom 2% of prices to reduce the influence of extreme values. This does not verify title status or guarantee that every erroneous listing is excluded. Prices reflect dealer asking prices — not final sale prices — and exclude taxes, fees, and incentives. Trim and mileage move the price more than any other factor; see the breakdowns above.
