Have you ever had such a bad experience with a dealership that you no longer purchase that brand of car? Well, Premier Subaru is sure to give you that kind of experience! I purchased a car from them in 20 More

@Giovanni/ We are sorry you feel this way. It is not reasonable to expect $4,000 off the price of a vehicle that is priced to market- and indicate that you should not be responsible for sales tax. During the imposition of the tariffs, it was commonly published that both new and used vehicles escalated in the marketplace. As new cars become more expensive, the demand on preowned vehicles also increased nationwide and the values of those cars escalated. While our inventory is always priced at 95% or less of market average, prices do change regularly and did at that time. We honored a past price on this vehicle for you - but, you wanted an additional substantial discount off that price which was not possible or, quite frankly, reasonable. That vehicle was sent to auction where it sold for more than we were asking for that car on our lot - and, significantly more than we had honored a price for you. As for your warranty cancellation, that cancellation was done electronically on 5/16/2025. We have made an inquiry to the warranty company to find out the status of the same. We have complete documentation in this regard. You are welcome to contact our General Manager directly if you have any additional questions

It took me a many years to come to decide it was time to give up my 2010 Camry. Several weeks back a costly repair pushed me to make a decision in a week due to the cost of a rental car. The moment I walked More
