First time buying a Subaru. Wish I had done it sooner. Went to another dealership previously and they would not work with me. It was no wonder the other place had so many cars on the lot. More

The car they sold me was not the car I received. On February 1, 2019 I sent the following letter to the dealership, the owner of the dealership, and Subaru of America. As of March 8, 2019 I have rec On February 1, 2019 I sent the following letter to the dealership, the owner of the dealership, and Subaru of America. As of March 8, 2019 I have received NO response from ANY of the above. On January 2, 2019 I purchased a used Subaru from Busam Subaru in Fairfield, Ohio. On January 3rd, I discovered that the vehicle I purchased was not the vehicle described by the salesman. Below are the details of the transaction. My initial contact with a new car salesman at Busam Subaru was on December 31, 2018. A relative submitted my name for VIP pricing on a new Subaru. After the salesman calculated the lease price, I realized a new vehicle was much more than I needed or could afford. I inquired about the availability of any used Subarus. I was told the dealership had recently acquired a 2011 Forester. Initially, I didn’t know anything about the Forester models, but the one word I remember the salesman saying, repeatedly, was Turbo. I was told the Subaru Turbo equipped engine was somewhat rare and highly sought after. A CarGurus search showed there were no other 2011 Forester XT Touring models available within a 500-mile radius of Cincinnati. Rare indeed! While in the salesman’s office, I looked up the KBB value of the vehicle and its fair purchase price is $11,327. I offered $8,500 and the used car manager countered with $9,500. Over the next few hours, and again for over 3 hours on January 2nd, I used all of my powers of persuasion to negotiate a lower purchase price. Nothing worked. Every time I made a counter offer, I was rebuffed by one word. Turbo. I was told, repeatedly, that the used car manager could put the car on the lot and it would probably sell within a few days for the KBB fair purchase price. Turbo was the key word that I couldn’t defeat. Finally, I gave in. I told myself it was a good deal. I told myself the Turbo equipped vehicle would hold its value and that I was making a wise investment. Here’s the problem... The vehicle has a standard engine. It does not have a Turbocharger equipped engine. After viewing pictures of both engines in the owner’s manual, and discovering I’d been sold a standard engine, I immediately contacted the dealership and their initial reaction was comforting. They seemed genuinely concerned and told me they would get back to me with a solution. Their solution is that I should bring the car back and they would refund my money. Sorry, that solution is unacceptable. I spent 3 days working to purchase this vehicle. Driving 60 miles round trip to my Credit Union to secure financing. Multiple trips to the dealership. A trip to my mechanic to have the car inspected. My time is valuable and has been wasted by this obvious bait and switch. I’ve been looking for a used vehicle for the past few months. I checked out a few of the independent used car dealerships North of Busam Subaru on Route 4. When dealing with those dealerships, I never felt comfortable. While shopping there, the phrase “Fly-by-night” came to mind. I would expect something like this if I’d purchased a vehicle from one of them. I didn’t expect it from, what I believed, was a reputable dealership. I looked up the KBB value of the vehicle I purchased. Not the vehicle I was SOLD, but the vehicle I ended up with. A 2011 Forester X Touring model has a fair purchase price of $10,199. That’s $1,128 less than the XT model. Again, I was sold the XT model. I ended up with the X Model. Returning the purchase price and washing their hands of the whole matter is the easiest solution for the dealership. It’s a major pain in the rear for me, but it’s easiest for Busam Subaru. I’m writing to appeal to your sense of fairness. Put yourself in my shoes. I shopped at your dealership because I trusted you. Ok, I’m not naive. Let’s just say I trusted your dealership significantly more than I trusted the independent dealers up the road. I’m hoping I wasn’t wrong to do that. Other than scrapping the deal and returning the car, I’ll leave it to you to figure a way to compensate me for the $1,100 difference in value between what I was “sold” and what I ended up with. Sincerely, More

Horrible experience I am recently looking to buy a new car and very interested in the cool grey khaki special edition color for the wrx. I was told by Sumer that the car I am recently looking to buy a new car and very interested in the cool grey khaki special edition color for the wrx. I was told by Sumer that the car was available and that I could put a 500$ deposit down to reserve the car if I chose to buy. After working 10 hrs, I drive 40 minutes to come see this car only to find out it is GONE and was sold TWO DAYS AGO. Never going back to those liars again. More

Best new car buying experience ever! As I am a senior citizen, I have obviously purchased a number of cars over the years. I learned to drive on my parent's '66 Buick Electra. After mar As I am a senior citizen, I have obviously purchased a number of cars over the years. I learned to drive on my parent's '66 Buick Electra. After marriage and twins, we had a couple of station wagons that lasted about ten years each. Since 1994, I've been a Buick customer. However, a couple of weeks ago, an SUV ran me off I-71 in near downtown Cincinnati, and my 2007 LaCrosse was totaled. I did a lot of research, more concerned about new innovations in car safety. With a recommendation from one of my sons, I soon decided on a 2019Subaru Legacy Limited. I worked with Nick, who guided me through the process, and boy was it a REFRESHING change from all my previous experiences! After phone conversations on Wednesday, and finding out my old car was definitely totaled, My son drove me to Busam Friday afternoon. It took less than three hours to have everything settled and driving back home in my new car. No "checking back and forth with sales manager", no surprises--just good honest business. Everything was organized, clear and easy. Dave, who handled the financing process, had everything ready. I can't believe how straightforward everything was. Also thanks to Mike for explaining how the new technology (which Buick has NOT kept up with) works. They treated me and my son like family, and even though I live in Ky., 20 miles south of Cincinnati, I will be happy to come back to them for service, etc. If you need a new car, go see these guys!

I know that it was "major surgery" to the engine and related components but I could not have trusted it to a better guy. The work was completed as promised, and your suggestions around combining some of the work in order to save some labor dollars allowed us to complete the work within our budget. As noted we were completing the repairs so that we had safe and reliable transportation for my daughter. She took the car for a first drive to her job, and she sent me a text message upon arrival that said, "You weren't kidding!! It is like driving a new car!!" Please pass our appreciation on to the techs that worked on the car. All of your efforts are appreciated! More
