If someone here could be so kind and run this VIN for me:

 

4S3BG6851X7659309

 

It is a 1999 OBW, and I'm seriously considering buying it ASAP. I don't think it will last long. Thanks a lot for the help, I really do appreciate it. Here is my email: ace1905@hotmail.com

Ok, I went to the carfax website and put in the VIN # and this is what it gave me:

 

 

VIN: 4S3BG6851X7659309 Year/Make/Model: 1999 SUBARU LEGACY OUTBK/SSV/LTD/30TH Body Style: Station Wagon Engine Type: 2.5L H4 PFI DOHC 16V Manufactured In: UNITED STATES Search Results: 6 records found in our database

 

 

 

What the heck does the SSV mean? I want to see what they have in their records sooooooo bad. :banghead: Thanks if you can help me out.

SSV - supersonic vehicle. dont really know, but carfax wouldnt tell ya either. it only has to do with the model you have, such as 'limited edition' or 'special edition'. you can probably look it up either in the search on this forum or a google search (ie: subaru outback ssv).

OK, here's what I found out, pretty interesting if you ask me........

 

Also new for '99, but not available to us mortals, is the Outback Special Services Vehicle (SSV). This is a slightly decontented Outback aimed at law enforcement, fire, and rescue services and priced at $19,995 (a few grand below the normal base Outback). Its features include white paint only, no roof rack, no keyless, no radio, no speakers, and no antenna, but with auto transmission and the cold weather package standard. It's a special dealer order, with proof of eligibility required. All other features appear to be there, though - power everything, the 2.5l engine, the same wheels. So if you see an Outback with a lightbar, smile and wave...

 

 

The funny thing is, the one that I'm looking at it Green/grey and has a CD player and a roof rack.

Did you check to make sure all the VINs match?
