The Applied Model is a 7 character code found on every Subaru made since at least 1989. It is a universal code across all markets that describes all of the important aspects of a car. This listing is specific for the Legacy/Outback platform, as there are some differences between platforms.
This code is found on the cars Model Plate. This plate is located on the Left side front strut pillar on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Legacies. On newer cars, it is a plate or label found on the right side front door or the jam for the same door.
This is a sample of the Model Plate from my 2004 USDM Outback H6 Sedan.
