Garandman Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 job well done Amazing that they didnt even really try to do damage control. The damage is done I don't have anything against them, personally. I contacted them when I bought my first Subaru, got the vibe on how the "undealer" does business, and didn't contact them for #2 or #3. But there are other dealers around that probably aren't any better. FameMax hasn't posted in a while, WRX2LGT seems to be active on the forum but hasn't posted in this thread. I'm sure they are still selling plenty of Outbacks to blondes from Hingham. Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieAA Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Planet did have one questionable tactic of telling you the car you are really shopping (based on your budget). Probably part of a sales training program. But as long as you know how to walk out if you don't get what you want, they had a decent selection of cars.

Coelli Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Amazing that they didnt even really try to do damage control. You can't do damage control on forums even if you're not in the wrong (and I'm not saying they are or aren't, btw) - they're smart not to try. Not to mention it's not really their job to, and it's not worth saying the wrong thing and getting fired for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas569 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 we went there once when my girl wanted the tribeca and i was looking for a good deal on a LGT. So we were looking to buy two vehicles at once and hopefully get a good deal... After many phone calls back and forth with my salesman i was looking forward to striking up a deal... long story short we wasted our time, they didnt have a mt lgt in stock (like i was led to believe) and they didnt want to budge on the tribecas price... (after 3 hrs of back and forth, they didnt want to let us go after we told them we wanted to put down $15k each) i really felt like we didnt matter even though we drove 2 hrs, i can honestly say it was one of the worst dealer experiences i ever had. it worked out in the end as we ended up buying the two cars from Suburban Subaru in Vernon, CT. We got red carpet treatment,pressure free, great prices and free oil changes for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vendors on here have done exactly that and explained that they aren't perfect, and mistakes happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddMcF2002 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 The overpriced Limited is still sitting on the lot. I drive past it twice a day and it always cheers me up to know they just got a MY depreciation hit. 1300 views Planet. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I heard that it's not uncommon for Subaru dealers to refuse test drives for STIs... indeed they must think it's a Ferrari or something. For a brand new car there is maybe a point, since an actual buyer (typically enthusiast in case of STI) would want to buy the car with minimum number of miles. But used STI? When I bought my LGT in 2005, I told the dealer the final step b4 payment would be a test drive in the STi to compare it to the LGT. The salesman was a young kid that knew his cars and I got the test drive. Weeeeee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Dagwood Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 You know, it's funny, I haven't had a negative experience at Planet. I didn't buy my car there - at the time I was living up by Boston and got my car at Metrowest in Natick. I moved down to the Cape, so now the nearest dealership to me is Planet. Their service department seems fine. Actually, the first time I went it was just for an oil change, etc. I decided to wait at the dealership, since I knew it wouldn't be too long. I went to the sales dept. to have a look at an 08 tribeca for my dad. Now, I'm a young guy (not quite 25, and I look younger than I am), and I wasn't exactly dressed up. I probably could have passed for a teenager if I wanted to. Anyway, the sales guy didn't give me any trouble with the Tribeca, including letting me take it out (solo) for a fairly lengthy test drive. When I got back, I asked him if I could take out a new wrx - and I was open about the fact that I just wanted to drive it to get a feel for how it compared to my LGT. He knew I had absolutely zero intention of buying it but went around back and got me one just the same. When I got back, I said thanks to the sales guy, picked up my keys and paid, had a pleasant chat about my mods with one of the service guys, and got in and drove off.

ToddMcF2002 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I never had a problem with their service. Prompt, well done, plenty of communication. I'll never go back there again but that's because of sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they have pictures now. Previously, it was only auctions with a default generic Subaru image. The auctions were only appearing after hours or on weekends (i.e. when eBay staff was at home) and there would be a ton of auctions listing what appeared to be the same vehicles. Combine that with a no-feedback userID (or worse, only a few feedbacks that are all 90+ days old) and the whole situation sounds like a Nigerian scammer. No wonder people aren't buying from the auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTlegacy06 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Maybe they should start selling OEM items online first that are obviously cheaper and easier to deal with than a car. Then they would have the rep and business that shows that they are a real dealership with some online transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddMcF2002 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 OK, I just have to ask. The Limited has had a "SOLD" sticker hanging off the window for over a month now and the car is still sitting there. That can't be good LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_hao Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 lol I was thinking about taking a look at their spec B they had on the lot so I searched "planet subaru" and I just read all 7 pages of this thread. They have an 07 spec b for $29k which I think is over priced but now I'm nervous to offer them anything. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
