Bait and Switch Tactics on Used Car Pricing Buyer Beware, if I could give them zero stars I would. -This dealer uses bait and switch tactics to lure customers in on their used cars and then once Buyer Beware, if I could give them zero stars I would. -This dealer uses bait and switch tactics to lure customers in on their used cars and then once you go to close the deal they tell you they can't honor the price they told you. They tell you they have to ask more for it now because they got the final bill on the cost to certify the vehicle which is more than they thought. That is the story that Francisco and Jay at North Aurora Subaru fed me tonight after Francisco had told me prior they would be able to get me into this car for the price I was looking for. I even spoke with Lee, the sales manager who had been working with Francisco on the price for this Forester for me last night and he told me they would still be able to honor the price I was looking to get it at because they had taken into account the amount of repairs and the cost to certify the car. Jay, tonight's sales manager, brought out a pile of papers to show me all the repairs and the cost to certify it, to try to substantiate them raising the price on the car tonight when I show up to purchase it. Like they haven't done this for enough years to know when they list a car they will be able to cover their costs to certify it before they post a price on it. Well Francisco, I guess this will be your first negative review. More

Quality repairs, but signs of declining customer service **THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN REVISED** I have purchased three Outbacks from Gerald Subaru and have had all of our service on these cars performed by Gera **THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN REVISED** I have purchased three Outbacks from Gerald Subaru and have had all of our service on these cars performed by Gerald Subaru of North Aurora. In the last year, they have revised their service loaner program and now only provide free loaners for warranty work. Non-warranty loaners must be rented, but the daily rate is reasonable at $19.99/day. (This is a correction from my original review.) Still, I am disappointed that the loaner program has become less generous than in the past. Last week, I called about a problem with removing my key from the ignition switch (a known issue with these cars) and explained that my vehicle was within 500 miles of its 36K warranty, but had it with me on vacation near Green Bay, WI, so I couldn't be certain that it would still be below 36K by next week. I was told that I should have it serviced in Green Bay unless I had an extended warranty. The dealer in Green Bay was friendly, but had no openings until June due to the airbag recall. They suggested that a call to Subaru North America would resolve the problem and provided me a number to call. Indeed, Subaru was accommodating and promised to honor the warranty. In my opinion, as a longtime customer, Gerald Subaru should have either offered to cover the repair if Subaru refused to cover it, offered to contact Subaru on my behalf, or at least suggest that I call Subaru, but none of these occurred. Subsequent to posting my original version of this review, the service manager from Gerald contacted me to apologize and to assure that my repair would be handled, even if Gerald was not compensated by Subaru. I appreciated the sentiment, but I already had assurances from Subaru North America that they would honor the warranty. The service was performed earlier today in the same friendly and professional manner I have always experienced in the past at Gerald Subaru of North Aurora. More
