A couple of weeks ago I purchased a 1999 Subaru with 85,000 miles from this dealer. I was shown a clean car fax and title and the car had a brand new inspection sticker. I was told the car had not been in an accident and had been well taken care of, and that’s what the documents presented to me suggested. There was a lot of charming pressure to make a cash purchase (even driving me to the bank) without having my own mechanical inspection done as «it really will only need a new muffler and brake pads» and supposedly a lot of other people were interested as low mileage Subarus are like hens’ teeth. I told the dealer that I needed to drive to Boston the following week. He could not have been more courteous and well-​wishing. I really wanted to believe his website blurb about values and integrity. The day after I purchased the car I took it to a garage where the owner had worked for Subaru for 25 years. He called me two hours later to say he couldn’t allow me to drive the car out of the garage, it was that dangerous. He kept it on the block till I got back to check it out myself. He showed me that the rear strut mount had pulled away from the body, there was a lot of corrosion, it basically had no suspension. He said there was plenty of evidence on the car that not only was it in a major accident but parts of it had been submerged. The report was two pages long. He said there’s no way a real inspector would have allowed that car to pass and the car would easily turn over in an accident. When I called this dealer to confront him with this information he offered to have the car repaired and split the cost with me but backed down and agreed to refund my money when I mentioned getting the state police involved to check out that inspection sticker. I still find it astounding that he was willing to endanger my life for a lousy $ 3750. We exchanged the car and the title for the cash though he deducted nearly $ 300 for taxes. I’m counting that as my Moron Penalty for not following my instincts and getting bamboozled into buying it without checking it out first. Oh and by the way, it’s interesting that the other review here is by someone with the same name as his brother, who also works there. Shame on them.

Highly recommended even after I bought the car they were really helpful they fixed my minor problem a month after I bought the car thanks a lot for everything guys !
