kfreeman Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi, I recently bought a 1995 Legacy L and I wanted to make sure what I was told I bought is what I really bought. I've tried looking up the vin but can't find anything that is specific about the 1995 vins. Anyone think they could help me out? Thanks, Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedsan126 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Yea i got the 95' legacy L sedan EJ22 also, what is it that you need to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfreeman Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Just looking to decode my vin to see exactly what my car has on it... That's the most important thing for me now (in the future... there will be others lol). Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gathermewool Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 You're trying to figure out whether your '95 is AWD or not? The easiest way would be to take a peek under the car : ) '15 FB25 Magnatec 0W-20 + FU filter (70,517 miles) RSB, Fr.

Bdubs Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Check the underneath in the back, does it have a rear differential? A driveshaft going to the back? If so, then it's AWD. Also, 95's have a sticker that say ABS AWD on the rear window. Could have been removed, but that's another way to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 +1 Do as everyone else has said thus far. After that, open the drivers door and check the door jamb area on the door itself. If it's an AWD it will either say... AWD Wagon or AWD Sedan If it's a 2WD it will either say... FWD Wagon or FWS Sedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfreeman Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 It def. doesn't have the sticker, hence my question... I'll check out under the car and the door jambs next... Thanks for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gathermewool Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Sticker or not, only an AWD (Subaru) car will have a rear differential. If you look under the car from the back you'll see a the box that is the diff with an axle to each wheel. '15 FB25 Magnatec 0W-20 + FU filter (70,517 miles) RSB, Fr.

GTride05 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Every Subaru from I think 94'+ has AWD so I am telling you yes you do. 95 Legacy L is the 1st AWD vehicle that got my attention then it moved to the GT's after I got enough money together to get one of those instead.

GTride05 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Allow me to correct myself, Every Subaru has 4WD at those later years. Here check these..though it is reveiws, notice that every bodys car had 4WD and they were all 95's http://www.edmunds.com/subaru/legacy/1995/consumerreview.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
