I'm in need of a car soooo I've pretty much decided on getting a WRX (any other suggestions for cars around the same price range?) to tide me over for a couple of years until my sister graduates from HS. I'm looking to just get a 05 Base WRX manual. How much are people paying for the car these days? Which dealership should I go to? I don't really mind the distance as long as its somewhere near the bay area :P. I sent out asking for quotes from like Diablo, Albany, Oakland, SC, and Carlsen. Anyone have experience with Roseville or sac area dealerships? Anyhow thanks for the help.

 

go to Carlsen or Santa Cruz !

sweet! I knew there use to be like a board for dealership reviews but couldn't find it.

haha yea Santa Cruz subby is close for me, but far for my parents.

 

The guy at Ron Price in SouthSF was a dick - treated me like a sale and my girlfriend like she wasn't there. Steve Litwin @ Downtown subaru in Oakland was fine (not great, but fine) and gave me a fair price on my 05 WRX.

Can't say much about their service dept though - tried to claim that my aftermarket stereo was causing my battery to die, even though it died before the stereo was ever hooked up .

 

in the SouthSF dealership by Serramonte?

Haha and is the Oakland one the same as the Toyota dealership?... my cousin just bought a car there wasn't the greatest service (took a while to process everything) but it didn't really matter cause he knew what he wanted already and took in a paper ad and paid for everything immediatly.

 

whatever you do DONT GO TO STEVENS CREEK SUBARU ! those guys there are bastards and are hella pushy. I woulda got a STi if it werent for them cause they pissed my parents off ! but im still happy with my WRX.

 

lol oh yea I know to stay away from Stevens Creek lol. Actually I think I would stay away from ever Stevens Creek dealership. lol Infiniti one was soo nice they just told us we can't test drive the car, and to take a brochure go home and if that didn't answer our questions then come back.

 

hands down, santa cruz. Best buying experience I have ever had!

 

Stay clear of Steven's (Up Sh*t) Creek. Their sales manager is an ***, sales staff are a bit too pushy, they're "service" department offers everything but service.

Carlsen is great, and I've heard good stuff about Santa Cruz.

 

just curious but did any of you buy an 05? if so how much?

 

I bought my 05 STi from Stevens Creek Subaru, and now i wishi i hadent given them the business. I recived the worst customer service known to man! I had a problem with my new STi's Passanger side speaker oscalating improperly in the door side pannel. So i brought it in and they said that they couldent help me because it was 4:30pm and all there techs had gone home for the day. Funny thing is though they told me to bring the vehicle in between the hours of 8am-6pm m-f (which is stated directly on there front door) to have the problem looked at, which i did. When i started to get a little upset (granted i was getting verbal) the manager of the service dept. threatend me "A CUSTOMER" that he would call the police if i didnt leave the premissis. I think i had a right to be upset, A. i was told i could bring the vechicle in which i did in there operating hours and B. i just paid close to $40,000 for a new car that has a speaker that sounds blown to S H I T with less the 300 miles on the vehicle. I reported there service manager to DRIVESUBARU.com who handels there H&R and there looking into his conduct and the manor in which he diffused the situation. I hope that F U C K nut gets fired.

F U C K STEVENSCREEK SUBARU
and a special F U C K YOU TO RICK REUTLINGER!!!! Get a suit that fits you old man!!!

 

The service manager Rick, right? If so, first class ***. He hung up on me multiple times claiming he had customers he needed to help. Wait, am I not a customer? I've already told Subaru of America about their service department, they (SoA) weren't too happy.

 

Isnt it funny the guy still has a job, as much as hes pissed off multiple customers.

 

Yea lol I'm surprised people have been complaining about Steven's Creek for years and yet they havent changed at all it seems.
