I purchased a 2011 Subaru Outback from Capital City - Tammy Martin
I purchased a 2011 Subaru Outback from Capital City Subaru on 12/31/23. I needed a vehicle right away as my Volvo needed yet more expensive repairs.
I spoke with Brett Cushing, Sales Consultant. He said they had a 2011 Subaru Outback that was just traded in. He said if I don't purchase it, it would just go to auction. (I was an auto claims adjuster for 30 years which included handling total losses and having contact with salvage yards. My guess is that the auction house would have paid $3,000 at most for the vehicle.)
He went and spoke with the manager, Shawn Ramos, Sr., and came back with a price of $9,000. The vehicle had a little less than 149,826 miles on it.
In this 1 yr 3 months I have put 10,000 miles on the vehicle. It now has 160K miles on it.
Not long after purchasing the Subaru, it was clear to me why the vehicle was traded in. It needed brakes and rotors, a wheel bearing, cv axle, battery, and ball joints on both sides, Also all of the doors won't stay open and each one will keep closing when trying to put things in the vehicle, i.e. groceries. How much for all of these repairs? About $5,500.00. I had all of the repairs done except for the doors and I did get a 2nd opinion for the repairs.
