Chatham Parkway Subaru

I just bought my 6th Subaru (4th Outback). I have never purchased a new car without becoming aggravated, upset or just completely PO'd, until yesterday, that is. After the completely pleasant experience I just went through, I feel compelled to tell everyone else around here that may be thinking of buying a new car that they should look no further than Chatham Parkway Subaru. They are a relatively new Subaru dealership, and my first contact with them was through thier Service Department, which was pleasant enough, and they took good care of my '05 Outback. About three weeks ago my wife and I received a sales call (cold call) from Kevin (Salesman with Chatham Parkway Toyota as well as Chatham Parkway Subaru) telling us about a great deal CP Toyota was offering. We informed him that we were 22 year Subaru loyalists and weren't interested in buying a new car at this time, and would only consider a Subaru in any case, and to call back when he could come up with the same deal on a Subaru. We thought we would never hear from him again. Well, he called back about twenty minutes later and said that his manager said they would make us the same offer on an Outback that they were offering on the Toyotas. We had to go past CP Subaru the next day anyway so we thought we'd take a look at the new Outbacks just for the fun of it. They showed us the new Outback the next day (Nice!) and gave us a sales spiel. They didn't have the color my wife wanted in stock, and after giving them our car for trade-in evaluation while we were taken for a test drive in the new '10 Outback we returned to the dealership where Russ the Sales Mgr, had an already sold green Outback for us to look at. My wife loved the color, I loved the car, but we couldn't come to an agreement with the price and trade-in. I told them I had a price in mind including trade-in and they told me they couldn't meet it, but that they were due to receive 14 new cars in from Subaru in November, and they would contact us if they could get an Outback we wanted onour terms. Leon (CPS General Mgr) called me about a week later and said they would be getting a green Outback in, and we negotiated a mutually agreeable price. We picked up our new Outback yesterday, and after the entire process was completed, I told Russ and Kevin that this was the only time I didn't get aggravated by the new car purchasing process. Chatham Parkway Subaru is fortunate to have such a nice team in Leon, Russ, Kevin and Kim (Financing), they all made the new car buying process a pleasant experience instead of a dreaded chore.
