We did NOT need a car (we were just looking at options) and our salesperson refused to hard-sell us. In spite of this, I got a car (Crosstrek base model) that is ideal for me in every way. and our salesperson refused to hard-sell us.

I was overwhelmed buying a new car as it had been over 20 years since my last car purchase. The staff and sales staff were knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. We had communicated via telephone & email about years since my last car purchase. The staff and sales staff were knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. We had communicated via telephone & email about my preferences and the exact car that i wanted. When i arrived for my test drive they had found my exact car from another dealership and had it waiting for me. The website is fantastic allowing me to view and compare the different trims and individual cars on their lot. They have an awesome inventory. Subaru offers a 3 year roadside assistance with purchase. I am so happy with my new 2025 Forester Sport and it’s a great replacement for my V6 SR5 Forerunner. More

And Mark and Omar both got defensive when the questions were brought to attention. If your a woman this is not a safe place to purchase a car as they know nothing of what they're selling, overpromise and b were brought to attention. If your a woman this is not a safe place to purchase a car as they know nothing of what they're selling, overpromise and belittle you. Sad business ownership and un ethical values. I write this review after trying to bring it up to management, but they did not want blood on they're hands and punish consumer and say " oh well we're uploading the car today and someone else will buy it " so much for almost compromising my safety and now carrying it on to a gullible person.

Typical car dealer, bait and switch, nonsense! AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE! I contacted them a few days ahead of time, online, to get a quote on a vehicle. They sent me an email showing AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE! I contacted them a few days ahead of time, online, to get a quote on a vehicle. They sent me an email showing the precise vehicle and a price of $35,925 plus the normal taxes and fees, etc., of course. Everybody knows that. - Right? I go there on the weekend to purchase the vehicle, which should be about $40,309 +/-, out the door, great. I brought a copy of their email, sent to me, to the dealership because , sadly, most of these dealerships are dishonest. Case in point: They first raised the price of the vehicle by ~$3500 to $39,395 on the paperwork, completely ignoring the email. I had handed them their own email with the price clearly on it and discussed it with them!! So, now they can charge me more taxes based on $39K instead of $36K, plus whatever else they claim that they put on the vehicle and put those additional profits in their pocket. The taxes are a percentage based on the sale price, right? Were they hoping that I wouldn't notice? - Seriously In the end: What a surprise!!! - not! The price of the vehicle is magically now $53,216.75 up from ~$40,309!!!!!!!! They tried to charge me an additional ~$12,907.75!!!!!!!! That's ~$13,000 more! - incredible! After a few choice words. I walked out!! FWIW: I made it abundantly clear that I had full intention of taking that vehicle home that day. Just in case, I had brought my checkbook and could have paid cash for the vehicle. This is just the abridged version of the story. This experience was really bad. Their loss! I have already planned to purchase a better equipped vehicle from another dealership tomorrow. - I hope, we'll see! There are more than a dozen of these vehicles within 30 miles of my home. I am sure someone will be willing to take my money. More
Follow up: The very next morning, I went to Sierra Subaru in Monrovia. I followed the same protocol. I brought in their email with a quote on a specific vehicle. I sat down with a sales representat Subaru in Monrovia. I followed the same protocol. I brought in their email with a quote on a specific vehicle. I sat down with a sales representative. We established the out the door sale price of the vehicle including the government required taxes and fees. The dealership ran a credit check on me establishing my 830 FICA score. I then filled out and signed a gazillion documents, which is completely normal. I cut them a sizable down payment check. Financed the balance. Done! Drove the vehicle home. Under no circumstance should anybody waste their time, nor endure the unnecessary stress, as I did, here at this Fullerton dealership. Go to Sierra Subaru of Monrovia, be treated with respect and professionalism. At this Monrovia dealership, you can purchase the vehicle of your choosing, in a haggle free, honorable environment.
