Outback Limited AWP vs AWD?

[Bradley Walker]

Can someone help clarify something for me? I'm looking at purchasing a used
2001 Subaru Outback Limited that has 117,000 miles for $8900. When I
checked the VIN on carfax it came back as a recommended buy but I noticed in
the text it stated the following:


Year/Make/Model: 2001 SUBARU LEGACY OUTBACK AWP
Body Style: STATION WAGON
Engine: 2.5L H4 PFI DOHC 16V
Fuel: GASOLINE
Driveline: ALL WHEEL DRIVE
Manufactured in: UNITED STATES
Safety Equipment: 4 wheel ABS, Running Lights, Dual front air bags/active
(manual) belts
Standard Equipmentower Windows, Power Steering, Air Conditioning, AM / FM
Cassette, Power Brakes, Tilt Wheel, 6-digit Odometer


Is the AWP part a misprint for AWD? Or is there a legitimate
difference/reason as to why AWP is there and not AWD? What does AWP stand
for??

AWP usually stands for "All Weather Pack".

 

[Bradley Walker]

Ah, thanks. What is defined as "All Weather Pack"? Or what is included in
those features?

 

[DAW]

It could be "all weather pack" but my money is on a typo. The only special
weather options I have seen (and bought) was heated seats and a windshield
wiper de-icer (electric heat strip at base of windshield for frozen wiper
blades). But it was not called AWP "All Weather Pack".

Something I noticed from above is for the engine is says DOHC and by
2001 the DOHC engine was no longer in use that I know of. Maybe both
are typo's.

I noticed that too and, having bought an 01 OBW three months ago, plugged my VIN
into carfax.com to see. It reported DOHC. The listing may not have been
correctly updated when the design changed.

Its a typo. Did the same thing if I plugged in a 2003 VIN, but didn't
with a 2002. Also had the DOHC typo too. Carfax wouldn't show the all
weather package on their listing.
