LEMON CARS(SPECIALLY THOSE WITH LOW MILEAGE-WATCH OUT!) This Dealership is a scam and a Joke. They claim they are transparent, but they are fake like $3.00 dollar bill. Do not waste your time and save some More

Hi Ron, thank you for your business. You're right that we do thoroughly disclose everything about the manufacturer buy-back vehicles we sell if you choose to buy one from us. We also take the time to make sure you plan to keep the car for many years, just as you did, so that you can enjoy the most value overall and not just save money on the day of your purchase. We understand that after such a long time it's easy to forget some of the details, especially when the car has served you well all along. We have plenty of inventory that requires no disclosure and we're just as happy if you choose one of those. We're always very frank and open about anything our customers would want to know about the car they're considering, even if not technically required. We do it because it's the right thing to do. We'd be happy to discuss this and help you find a new car if you'll give us the opportunity. Dale Lathrop, General Manager (781) 826-4444x137 or dale@planetsubaru.com Read less

Hi Happy Customer, thank you for such an outstanding review, it means a lot coming from someone with so much experience under their belt. We put a lot of work into making Planet Subaru stand apart from any other dealership you can visit and reviews like this let us know we're succeeding. Thank you for recognizing Eric too, we couldn't make our UnDealership philosophy come to life without exceptional people like him, who want to keep things simple and straightforward as much as you do. I'm glad you took the trip and know that our reputation isn't just hype, we look forward to helping you again in the future! Dale Lathrop, General manager (781) 826-4444x137 or dale@planetsubaru.com

Planet Subaru responded

Hi wjdennis, Thank you for reaching out to us, we buy many vehicles from people outside of a normal trade-in for a variety of reasons. Other than responding to individual inquiries and a having a small blurb on our site, we don't actively solicit this kind of business. With any of these transactions, we put absolutely no pressure on anyone to part with their vehicle if they are unhappy with what we offer, we simply shake hands and part as friends. When James came to your house to appraise the car and review what the guides suggested the wholesale value of your car would be, he was absolutely clear that this is what he thought was fair and it was up to you to decide if you wanted to go ahead. Given that this was a car over 10 years old, far outside of any factory warranty, of a different brand than our franchise, and that hadn't been driven much lately, we were naturally, and necessarily cautious. Please keep in mind that we must give that car our full safety inspection, make sure it is fully repaired in any way that is needed, fully reconditioned, market and sell the vehicle, then stand behind it. It's true that we're a business and we make a profit from selling cars, but it's not as simple as buying one and turning right around and selling it. There's a lot of work from multiple departments that goes into it, a heaping pile of risk and uncertainty, and (as you mentioned) ultimately the market decides what it eventually sells for. These are some of the reasons many people don't want to bother selling their car privately, it's not easy! Hopefully this explanation helps to ease your mind and illustrate that the difference between wholesale and retail isn't all profit, far from it. I'm happy to discuss this with you further if you would like, feel free to reach out. Dale Lathrop, General Manager (781) 826-4444x137 or dale@planetsubaru.com
