Very courteous salesman I dealt with but the good stops there, if you have a used vehicle that's in tip top shape or even decent shape they won't offer even half of trade in. I have a 2016 WRX with only 68 More

Your so called "mechanics" who have no clue what the xxxx they are doing.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to view your vehicle. It appears that our sales associate may have not communicated our process effectively. With you coming in after hours, our dealership was able to have a mechanic come in and test drive your potential trade in. When driving we did notice a significant noise in the transmission in addition to the clutch issue that you had described. With COVID, the price of parts has gone up significantly and while you were here we researched the price for a new transmission and clutch. The current prices put the transmission and clutch at $4500 plus $1200 labor. Giving a deduction of $5700. While our mechanics are not "Subaru" mechanics, they do have significant experience...but that does not make them perfect and free from failure. We are willing to offer you the opportunity to work with us to increase your trade value for the deficiency. During your visit, you had mentioned that you felt that $18000 would be a fair offer....with an independent inspection at a Subaru shop that is shows our mechanics were incorrect in their diagnosis, we will honor that $18000 value + an additional $1000 for your trouble, as it would be a fair value. We will even pay for the inspection if it shows our diagnosis was incorrect even if you choose not to trade it in to us!! That way you could show other dealers that your car is in good working order and we would be paying for it!! As for the Tacoma you were looking to purchase, it had not been through our inspection process and that was communicated to you. So, we had purchased the Tacoma but had not had the chance to have our mechanics look at it. While that Tacoma will probably not pass our inspection process based on the statements you have made..we have several others that have passed our inspection and can fit your budget... Thanks for your feedback. As mentioned, we know we aren't perfect, and with your proof of inspection we will be happy to make up for it with the additional $1000 in "goodwill"!!! Thanks Serra Kia Management
