I was thinking about writing a very long and detailed account of what went wrong with this dealership, but I have decided that it is a waste of my time and I already wasted so much dealing with this dealership.
I like to shop with my politics. I thought I was doing that when I chose to purchase a new Subaru. I thought that the Subaru brand name would vet their dealerships of classic scams and schemes. I am honestly just ashamed that I trusted Subaru that much and didn't do more research beforehand.
If you are receiving a deal that is too good to be true, I hope you can have better clarity than I did and avoid setting foot in this dealership. The sales manager flat-out lied to me, wasted my time, and was manipulative. I am glad that I knew better as his scam is very well honed and inevitably works enough for the dealership to continue to support his actions.
I also relayed this information to Amanda Kaufmann who politely said she would be sure to tell the owners and that Peoria Subaru is a family owned business. That is an empty statement; family owned or not, I was subject to very dishonest business practices.
In short, I would highly recommend avoiding this business. I had a much better experience with Chandler Subaru; people were straightforward, honest, and provided very competitive pricing.
