Quick answer
A 2022 Subaru Forester in good condition with average mileage (about 50,000 miles) is worth roughly $17,950 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $16,500 to $19,400, or about $20,650 at a dealer. 2022 is not on our years-to-avoid list, so condition, history, and maintenance matter more than the model year here.
