Subaru World of Newton

I began my search for my new 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek 5 speed online as many shoppers do. I found that in the state of NJ only about 3 dealers had ONE of these models in their incoming inventory. I locat speed online as many shoppers do. I found that in the state of NJ only about 3 dealers had ONE of these models in their incoming inventory. I located Subaru World of Newton through Subaru.com by searching dealer inventories. The bulk of my contact was with Mike Ventola (internet sales). Mike responded back quickly and thoroughly to all my questions about the availability and discountability of the vehicle. He was very direct and transparent in his answers and it was hugely appreciated, he never put up a smoke screen. We were even able to establish my trade in value by correspondence online and through including of photos and documentation of my trade. Once the purchase and trade values were established, Mike sent me, at my request, a detailed breakdown of any and all fees expected in the purchase. When the actual sale date came around Mike, Steve, and Les were all gentlemen throughout the purchase, the fees never wavered from their initial emailed breakdown, was exact to the penny. There was no high pressure, pushy sales tactics, just a simple transaction. Subaru was having shipping problems getting the vehicle to the dealership before the end of the month to qualify for the special financing, so the General Manager and Sales Manager stepped in, really got onto Subaru's regional about the delivery problem and within 30 minutes the car was going to arrive as scheduled. Subaru World of Newton really made this my easiest purchase of a vehicle ever! All of the hard work was done well in advance and everyone (from the Management to Salesman) stuck to their word and went above and beyond to make sure it happened on time. A true rarity in the car buying world. I'd recommend anyone purchasing a Subaru to check out Subaru World of Newton, I wasn't a local buyer to Newton, NJ, so if not for their great internet department I'd have had a hard time justifying the 4+ hour round trip to get my car. But their honesty and unwavering attitude to make their customers happy gave me the confidence to make the trip and I'm SO GLAD I DID. I got a great price on a great price from a super dealership.

Also $175 Clerical Expense, $195 Administrative Fee and $349 for Anti Theft Window Etching. This behavior is appolling. More

I never leave reviews but after the experience my wife and I had we felt it was the right thing to do. I've brought a lot of cars in the past but never had I ever had such a well knowledge and such a prof and I had we felt it was the right thing to do. I've brought a lot of cars in the past but never had I ever had such a well knowledge and such a professional salesmen such as Omar. He made us feel very comfortable spending our hard earn money with him. He worked out everything from the price to color we wanted , and trade in without the games that dealers play. I would be seeing omar in the next few months to buy another Subaru 5 stars to him and the dealership. More

I must Start by saying Friday December 14th was my first experience in trying to aquire a NEW car! My hubby and I started out a by sending an enqiery on the internet and Subaruworldnewton called us first, h experience in trying to aquire a NEW car! My hubby and I started out a by sending an enqiery on the internet and Subaruworldnewton called us first, however a second call came in which was about 5 minutes from my home in the Pocono... we live 45 minutes from Newton with a toddler... I really didn't want to drive all that way to Newton so we chose to go the dealer in town; and BOY! were we Wrong!!! we were there for over 4 hours with my little 2 1/2 year old all day trying to get my 2013 Subaru Outback, ( the manager came he went on his cigarette breaks!...NEVER did he one time greet me my husband or my baby) The sales person was ok but; I wanted a specific color Caramel Bronz which they kept trying to tell me was imposible because it was not a popular color so they didn't have it and didn't think they could get it for me and also that I shouldn't try to get it from anyone else because I wasn't going to find it! WE MADE A DOWNPAYMENT BUT WENT IN SEARCH BECAUSE THEY GAVE US THE IMPRESSION THEY WOULD TRY TO GET THE CAR (BUT THEY STILL MADE US FEEL HOPELESS) HENCE WE ENDED UP IN NJ. This started at 11am WITH THE FIRST DEALER... at about 5:15 pm we were on our way to Newton after talking to Michael Superti on the phone he said come and we can find your car! got there (a) Michael Ventola (Internet manager) greeted us with a hugh warm smile,invited us in our little trooper was fast asleep by this time being out all day.

Came to get my remote starter installed - service was prompt and clean - the guys here are such pro's... While I was here (and after I picked up) the Manager checked in to make sure everything was just prompt and clean - the guys here are such pro's... While I was here (and after I picked up) the Manager checked in to make sure everything was just right. He even took the time to show me some cool new features of the remote starting (not your dad's remote starter!) More

I just purchased two brand new cars from Subaru World of Newton. I have to say that at no time did I find that the salepeople were not helpful. The person I worked with was named Steve. His boss and oth Newton. I have to say that at no time did I find that the salepeople were not helpful. The person I worked with was named Steve. His boss and other co-workers were just as helpful and did everything to make me and my husband have a great experience. I am sorry to read some of the reviews that were written saying they has bad experiences, as there are always two sides to a story, as in some cases things do happen and can be fixed. I would recommend anyone to stop and meet the salesmen and shop around, as you will find great prices and most of all friendly to work with. Thanks again Steve and to you all at Subaru World. More

I had the worst experience with Subaru World of Newton. I'll try to be brief: - I ordered a car through the VIP program on a Saturday. Tom said it would be ordered during the week. It wasn't. The next F I'll try to be brief: - I ordered a car through the VIP program on a Saturday. Tom said it would be ordered during the week. It wasn't. The next Friday, I began calling to inquire - no response. It took more than half a week to finally receive a call back from our salesperson, Terrel, who said they hadn't ordered it because they found what I wanted. It was virtually impossible. I had checked the inventory of every dealership within 1,000 miles and, what's more, he said it had over 2,000 miles. I declined and requested that he order what I asked for. - I was NEVER able to contact Terrel or Tom. I'd either leave a message with the receptionist or on their voicemail and almost never received calls back. Subaru of America had to intervene for us to receive any information at all. When they did intervene, Tom lied to them and told them the car was ordered the day I came in and that he didn't know I was a VIP. Mind you, he gave me a small speech about how they wanted to make sure they treated me exceptionally well because of that status. If this is VIP treatment, how is everyone else getting treated? Are they getting verbally assaulted? After I e-mailed him to point out his errors (i.e., lies), I never heard from him again. - After SoA intervened, Terrel told me he'd keep me updated on the status of my car. Weeks passed and I didn't hear anything until the day my car arrived and Joe Bertone called. I wasn't surprised - Terrel had been awful with communication. - When I went to take delivery, I discovered that they had placed both a dealer sticker and pinstriping on my car. I told them explicitly the day I ordered the car, through an e-mail and over the phone with Tom Moffit that I didn't want a dealer sticker or pinstriping. But there it was. I told them to remove it. They also added rubber door guards (the rubber that lines the edges of the doors), which I asked them to remove as well. This made me furious though, honestly, I wasn't surprised. They had been painfully incompetent and I was actually expecting this. Now, the reason why I was so explicit about not adding the stickers was because I was worried that if they removed them, they'd scratch the car. They did. There are countless scratches all along the sides of my car where the pinstriping was. It made me wonder if they were using fine-grained sandpaper instead of a cloth towel. Unfortunately, I didn't catch this until I arrived home when I could see the car in the sunlight. Shame. - Because they had to remove the stickers and the door guards, I had to wait an extra hour before I could finish taking delivery. The person who took us through the paperwork was Joe Berton. He took over for Tom Moffit. Prior to my arrival, Bertone had called at least 15 times to ask for different information that was required on the paper. It was incredibly unprofessional. These calls would take place in a row. He should've made a max of two calls - one with a bulk of the questions and the second with anything he may have missed. It was like they'd never sold a car before. - Joe Bertone tried to charge me $349 for VIN etching, something they had, apparently, already added to the car. I was outraged. By putting a deposit on the car, I had essentially purchased it. They had no right to add anything without my permission. He said it was a value pack. I said it was a scam. When I dug my heels in about it, he begrudgingly removed the cost. There were other fees as well that were totally unnecessary and only serve to increase their profit. I decided not to fight him about them. I was tired and I just wanted to go home. - After I arrived home, I removed their license plate frames from my car almost immediately. I didn't want to advertise for them. I loathed them. I ended up finding two extra holes in my front bumper; they were right above the stock holes. So, basically, the person who was installing the license plate frame decided they were too lazy to use the existing holes. After all, it takes a lot of effort to match up screws to holes. They thought they'd just go ahead and make new ones. Unacceptable. Because I planned to move to PA, a state that doesn't require a front plate, I'd eventually want to cover up the holes and covering up four is a lot harder than covering up two. - Also, though this isn't as big of a deal, they told me that my car arrived with 3 miles and that I should be receiving it with 5. The car ended up having 10 miles on it, which makes me wonder what they were doing to have racked up those miles in less than 24 hours. Had they not said I should be getting it with 5, I'd have assumed that the detailer they use is kind of far. Clearly, that isn't the case. Furthermore, they charged me $65 for a full tank of gas, which was heavily diluted. I was only able to average 20mpg on it. After I emptied out the tank and got gas, though, I averaged 32mpg. Don't waste your time with this dealership and certainly don't give them your money. I'd stay as far away from them as possible. More
