Picketers at Livermore Subaru 4/5/08

Happened to drive by and there were people standing on the sidewalk, holding up signs - something like, "Not happy about the deal you got?" Anyone know what the story was?

Ya Gary is cool I always come in there asking for random bolts and pieces and he comes through lol

Maybe they are picketing because of the high mark up on the STi's hehe

Maybe the lezzbo sale is over.?

Or the Subaru Stop Sale on all 2.5 turbo cars pissed off everyone? If you car is within a vin range.. Your screwed.. If the car has not been sold they can not sell it..

I had to get a belt from Livermore Subaru, Gary told me to come in and get it and when I did he had left early and so I couldn't get my belts and I've been pretty pissed ever since at Livermore Subaru

Don't like the deal offered to you? Go buy your car somewhere else. Seems to just be someone who is a little bitter about their negotiation skills, or lack there of.

they are the only subaru dealer in the Tri Valley area. They can do whatever they please because they don't have competition. We all have choices.

Personally I have tried to work deals with them before and every time they thought they could "low ball" me. They can go pound sand!!! I took my business elsewhere.
