My Review of Carr Subaru:
The very friendly salesperson kept mentioning the "120 point inspection" and how great this used car's condition was. He told me it listed for $10,000 and it was a great deal at $8000. I talked him down to $7400. He couldn't go any lower because "they had paid $7500 on trade-in". When I pointed out the Kelly Blue Book trade-in value was $4000 he changed the subject. Eventually I bought the car after forcing him to put "subject to mechanical inspection" in the contract. I had to correct the price on the contract, which had been "mistyped" as $7500. I took the car to a mechanic and he found $2500 worth of needed repairs: leaking valve cover, leaking oil pan, leaking power steering rack, etc. The coolant was almost pure water and the radiator fluid was filthy. The valve cover bolts had been stripped when the dealer "tightened" it. No access to the spark plugs. I took the car back. The salesperson and then his manager told me my mechanic (whom I've used for seven years) was lying. Then they offered me another $500. I walked out and stopped payment.
