The_buster Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well the wife finally narrowed down her car search to a less than 5 year old Forester or Outback, we want to find a certified pre-owned. She was thinking about looking come spring-ish time after tax returns. I was wondering if the sales would be better at the end of the year or wait until spring. In spring we would have a down payment available. The crv is going to her mom so she has a car. She recently got a raise at work that ends up being enough to cover a car payment up to 400, but we want lower than that. Anyone here work for a Subaru dealer that can give some input on this? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hatfield Subaru seems to be the trendy enthusiast dealership, but I personally have had pleasant experiences at Byers Subaru near Sawmill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rates are always better anyway. C'mon buster step up your game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Experiences will vary with dealerships. Both sawmill and airport Byers wasted my time and played games with the sales process. I have bought three cars from Lori Glick over at Hatfield. Two were my wife's cars. My wife said Lori made buying a car fun, with no pressure. Byers lost the keys to our trade, once we told them we were going elsewhere, just to try and keep us there. Fortunately, I only gave them a spare key for them to appraise the car. We left anyways and they found the key the next day. Byers trade in was $7,000 lower than what Hatfield gave us. We were paying cash and the guy kept fucking pushing us to finance, so he could get paid on the back from the bank. I called him out on it and he said, "that's not how it works". He pushed financing more than six times, and couldn't even get the car we wanted. We also have a friend that works at Hatfield now, her name is Eva. She is good to work with too.

Geeesammy Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Use tax return to pay cash for something $4,000 and the rest to pay off whatever got you a 380 credit score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_buster Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well... if you remember the infamous Kay's post... that's what killed my credit and defaulted student loans. Which I've paid off one and have another that is just over a grand I think that I'm making payments on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
