UPDATE 2/28/2013: After the dealership was provided with my review (before its posting), I (finally) received my deposit back. The check was dated 12/31/2012, leaving me only a few weeks before it would be my review (before its posting), I (finally) received my deposit back. The check was dated 12/31/2012, leaving me only a few weeks before it would be void as it would be >90 days old. I'm not sure why the date on the check wasn't the date it was written out or if this is standard procedure. Additionally, there was what looked like a heart drawn on the check; I wasn't sure what this was supposed to mean, but thought it worth mentioning as I don't think it would be unreasonable for one to interpret this as petty behavior on the part of the dealership given the circumstances. In any event, I was hoping for a little more professionalism out of the staff, and I don't think I should have had to resort to posting about my experience here to have my query/request addressed when I gave the dealership multiple opportunities to solve the problem. ----------------- BEGIN ORIGINAL POST------------------- I placed an order for a 2013 WRX Sti on 10/20/2012 since the dealer did not have the color I wanted on the lot. I left a $500 deposit to secure the order on the same day and left. After ~1 month, I was able to locate the exact car I had ordered on another dealer's lot and purchased it. I tried to contact my sales person (Jay Jackson) via phone and email several times, leaving messages with the calls, and didn't have a call returned for several days/a week. I also left a message for the sales manager with the receptionist, regarding canceling the order, and received no answer from this either. When my call was returned, I spoke with Jay about canceling the order and he was very personable and said he understood the situation. He promised to refund my deposit via check and that I should expect the check to arrive in 1-2weeks. Because the process was so amicable, I offered to post that the car would be available shortly on a large STi message board full of people looking for dealerships with inventory. 12/15/2012 - Almost a month had passed and I still hadn't received the refund I was promised. I made several phone calls and sent several emails to Jay and never received any sort of response. 1/5/2013 - I drove the 1 hour and 45 minutes down to the dealership to find out what was going on with the refund. I spoke with Luke Albrink and explained the situation. I explained that I understand that mistakes can be made and things get lost in the shuffle, but that I needed to know why I hadn't received the refund yet. He asked me for my sale documents, which I had, and said that the accounting dept. had left for the day, but that he would personally follow up with them the following Monday and get back to me. He said they weren't in the business of keeping deposits once the deal was dead and that he wasn't sure what had happened. I received a call from Jay the following week confirming that the accounting dept was going to mail out the check that that i should see it in 1-2 weeks. 1/21/2013 - No check & more attempts to contact Jay (he was never available to actually answer the phone and I had to leave messages either with the receptionist or on VM) went unanswered. Present - I have neither received a check nor received a phone call/email response to my repeated attempts to figure out what is going on. Cliff Notes: I placed an order and subsequently had to cancel. It has been 4 months since then and I have not received my deposit back despite SEVERAL reassurances that "the check was in the mail".

I've been looking into cars for while. I know i wanted a Subaru Impreza but i wasn't sure on the color, model, and interior. I started visiting numerous dealerships in my local area and narrowed it down to Subaru Impreza but i wasn't sure on the color, model, and interior. I started visiting numerous dealerships in my local area and narrowed it down to what i exactly wanted. However, most dealerships didn't take what i wanted into consideration. They kept trying to sell me another color or lower interior package or something with a lot more accessories than what i wanted. Every time i walked out of a dealership it was with a massive migraine and a dreading of visiting another. However, my dad proposed we go to Lester Glen in Toms River. I am from Woodbridge and Toms River was about an hour drive for me. I said sure why not, it couldn't hurt. Upon walking into the dealership we were greeted by a nice man who introduced myself as Colt. From there Colt listened to everything we had to say & started to lead us to the inventory of car they had. Colt knew i was looking for a dark grey Impreza and that is exactly what he brought me too. We drove down to the extra lot where my car was fresh off the truck. I was able to put the next 6 miles on my future car. This car was everything i was looking for. It had all the accessories i wanted without anything more. Colt never tried to up sell me on numerous other accessories they could add into the car. He understood this is what i wanted. Colt was able to get my the price I wanted & even a lower monthly payment i anticipated! He continuously made sure my parent and myself we comfortable and offered refreshments & candy. Colt drafted up the initial paperwork to get the buying process started. He set us up with the financial person and waited patiently until we were done with him too. Colt took my future car to be detailed and ready to take home. When financing the car i thought the process was going to be painful but they were completely understanding which i will be eternally grateful for because without their understanding i wouldn't have been able to purchase this car. I had extra money coming in but didn't have it at that exact moment. They were able to take the down payment i currently had, held onto my car until i was able to get the rest. A couple days later when i had the rest i was than able to take my car home. Because of their understanding about my down payment i was able to get lower monthly payments that i could afford. Lester Glen is the best dealership i have ever been to. They didn't pressure me into making any purchase. They didn't try to up sell me a car with more accessories or a different model entirely. Colt was patient, understanding, knowledgeable and answered every question my parents and i had. The financial people were patient & understanding of my down payment situation. This was the first dealership i didn't want to run away from or walk out with a massive migraine. Colt's friendliness, experience, and willing to go the extra mile for you is what sold me. He got me the best price for my car and how i wanted my car. He stayed with my parents and myself every step of the way making sure we had everything we needed and if there was anything else he could do. Before Colt at Lester Glen i was dreading the day i would have to actually purchase a car. However, I couldn't have imagine my car buying process going any better than it did at Lester Glen with Colt. More
They are very unproffesional and are not up front with you. We cancelled services on the car and they had told us they would refund the money in 45 days it is now five months and we haven't recieved our r you.

John Wilson was a straight shooter and made the deal work for my budget right from the start. There was no negotiating or re-negotionating. He was very knowledgeable of the the car I was interested in purcha for my budget right from the start. There was no negotiating or re-negotionating. He was very knowledgeable of the the car I was interested in purchasing and answered all the questions that I had. This was the easiest car purchase I ever made. I also have to commend Lonnie Sherry as well for moving the paperwork along so quickly after the sale was completed with John Wilson. He was also very knowledgeable of the purchase options and answered any questions I had. I would definately send anyone there who is interested in purchasing a Subaru - this group knows their stuff and will make a deal that works for you. More
Even though the dealership was very busy on New Year's Eve day, Colt and Lonnie treated me like they had all the time in the world to answer my questions and help me with my purchase. I had spent the bett Eve day, Colt and Lonnie treated me like they had all the time in the world to answer my questions and help me with my purchase. I had spent the better part of a week e-mailing with Stacy Myers, who was courteous and helpful, informing me of inventory and hours, holding my hand every step of the way. Colt found the vehicle I was interested in and we were on a test drive within about 5 minutes of my arrival at the dealership. I was treated with respect and felt that everyone went out of their way to be helpful - all the way through the purchase process and the ringing of the bell :) There was no pressure, no haggling, and everything was super smooth. I can't say enough great things about the dealership and staff at Lester Glenn Subaru. More
I went into Lester Glenn Subaru after already being at another Subaru dealer that was unable to help me whatsoever. I knew what car I wanted and a price range that I could do however, issues with credit another Subaru dealer that was unable to help me whatsoever. I knew what car I wanted and a price range that I could do however, issues with credit kept me from purchasing a vehicle that day. Two and a half weeks later they were able to work with the cost in order to accommodate me financially, and they even held the exact car I wanted until the day I came in to purchase it. They did whatever they could to get me the car I wanted at a price I could afford with the credit I had, which wasn't much seeing as I am just a student. Phenomenal experience, and everybody looking for a new car should visit this dealership. More
DO NOT GO TO LESTER GLENN! I was treated with nothing but disrespect by both the associate and the manager that I dealt with. I am in my 20's and was treated like a child. They acted as though it did not mat disrespect by both the associate and the manager that I dealt with. I am in my 20's and was treated like a child. They acted as though it did not matter what I had said- that it was going to be their way or no way. They wouldn't even negotiate! When I told them what I was trying to accomplish, the manager basically laughed at me and told me that NOBODY could get me out of my trade and into the car I wanted. They didn't offer any other explanation than that. So I left and made my way over to Pine Belt Subaru. It was worth the drive and I left with EXACTLY what I wanted. If you ever think about needing a new or used vehicle- avoid the Lester Glenn dealerships! They are nothing but scammers. More
