SevenSisters Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Look on the driver side door pillar. Should be a month and year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenSisters Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 It's stamped on the vehicle plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrian Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 The best Subaru VIN decoder I've found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_VIN_codes Though it's obviously missing a few engines and models, and it only covers new-gen Soobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wait4the1 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I once had a question (not relating to this in particular, but to something different) and someone gave me a link to this site and it covered it, this site also covers "How to read Subaru VINs" ----just to add another link to the pile. Also, this site has a lot of information about each model and what's standard on each trim etc. basically everything you need to know about Subarus...oh, and it also tells you where to find the VIN...(which I didn't know for sure...) http://www.cars101.com/subaru/vin.html I hope it's helpful...

This is only good for the 95-99 legacies......but it's pretty nice decoder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
