We came to look at a low mileage used subaru they were asking $9k for, which according to the ad didn't have any issues. When we arrived, they had the vehicle already running (first red flag). We look at the car for a few minutes, and I ask to see the car's inspection report from the "3rd party shop" they work with. When she goes inside to get the report printed, I look under the vehicle and see a puddle of oil, oil actively leaking. I run my finger on the bottom of the engine and my finger is covered in dirty oil (second red flag). When she comes back out with the report, the vehicle apparently passed the inspection with flying colors (third red flag). I bring up the oil leak, and "okay" is the response.
Then, we take the car for a test drive. First, upon leaving the lot, the engine starts making this awful sound when accelerating (fourth red flag). Then when the car goes to shift, the transmission stutters before finally shifting into gear (fifth red flag). Meanwhile, the passenger door is rattling so much it sounds like it might just fall off while we're driving (sixth red flag). The saleswoman makes no comment on any of this, but is instead making conversation to distract us (seventh red flag).
We get back, and I am asked about what I think. Obviously I'm not interested in this beater for $9k. I say as much, and am asked if I want to look at some other vehicles she had in mind for me. Needless to say, we did not. Anyone coming here, please be very skeptical of the quality of cars they are willing to sell.
Will not be returning.
