Hi Dan, Thank you for your feedback, it's pretty clear we had some communication issues here, and based on your other reviews it sounds like this has been quite a process for you. We do our best to be as transparent as possible with how we quote our leases. For example: when someone asks us for a quote with a certain amount of money "down", we understand they really mean "due at signing", so we quote it like that, and we include the sales tax in the payment. We do this so neither of us run into any surprises when you arrive, which as far as we can tell is pretty rare in this business. We run our leases on software designed for running leases and, unfortunately, it's not easy for folks to figure them out on their own, so we're very understanding that you may have a lot of questions about how it works. We will gladly answer any questions our customers have with as much detail as they like; I've certainly had to explain why the state taxes money down more than a few times. We manage to provide a great experience for nearly everyone we meet, but unfortunate things happen occasionally. We sincerely hope that you find a dealership you feel comfortable working with and get the car you're looking for. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.

Hey Dale, I've only reviewed 1 other Subaru dealership recently and they were just as suspect as Planet Subaru. In this particular case, there was no mention of putting any money down. I didn't intend on paying anything at signing, I was going to roll everything into the lease payment. The sales tax that was included in the payment was for $2,011.63 and MA sales tax is 6.25% so let's do some math. In order to get a payment of $2,011.63, the "down payment" would have been $32,000 (32,000 x 6.25% = $2000) That would be a substantial "down payment" I'm not interested in the software you use on your leases. The amount of information available to consumers makes it very easy to see where dealers are not safe or trustworthy. Again Dale, I asked a couple of times about the MA sales tax on the quote I received and my questions went unanswered along with the money factor in question. Things do happen Dale and dealerships can be exposed for the lies they try and get away with.
