Honest, straight forward, no- games.
Purchased a new, 2026 Subaru Outback Touring XT from Van York Subaru of Asheboro, N.C. after my extensive vehicle search to update my 2022 Honda Passport Elite. I loved my Honda Passport but mileage dictated it was the optimum time to upgrade. I explored Honda, Toyota, and Subaru vehicles with a top priority on crash survivability and best safety monitoring of other vehicles. My next priority was "total cost" including repair history and maintenance cost and resale value. I was surprised to discover the Outback Touring had a superior comfort and ride than my Passport Elite, previously held my highest rating of quality and ride. Finally, Steven Snipes' provided an honest "no-pressure to buy" experience with information on the Subaru vehicles that fit my search criteria. He never criticized competitors or the other vehicles I was exploring. Stephen did not "play games" by pricing high with add-on extras (overpriced coatings or admin charges). He provided me the best price of all Subaru dealers within a 2 hour driving distance up front, I do not like/trust dealers that price high then start dropping when others offer a lower price. The final meeting with the finance manager did not try to sell add-ons after I had accepted their "out the door" price (such as 3rd party insurance after the manufacturing warranty ends, that can be purchased at a better price near the end of warranty from Subaru).
