I purchased my 2004 Subaru Forester in April 2011 from Carter Subaru, thinking I had found the car of my dreams for the ideal price, and finally from some honest car salesman. Although these men are very sweet, FIND A MECHANIC TO DOUBLE CHECK THEIR INSPECTION FOR THE CAR'S CONDITION. They told me my car was mechanically sound, and that their mechanics had done the "150 point inspection" and found no major issues, and that the issues they had found had been resolved. They did not provide me with any previous owner's records, but assured me that the car had had no major issues in the past, and that their mechanics had confirmed it was a great car in great condition. This was the first time that I had sincerely felt like there were honest, genuine car salesmen that existed, so, I took a chance and, feeling confident in my trust for these men, I purchased the car. After my purchase, I immediately headed for the gas station to fill up and begin my journey home. While at the station, the gas pump was clicking off every few dollars, even though the tank was empty. I thought it was odd, but little did I know this would be an ongoing issue that would cause further problems. It has now been 8 months, and I have been through my turbo cylander blowing up, as well as having to replace the entire gas evaporation system, totaling slightly under $2000, not including labor. These gentleman are kind, sweet, and seem genuine, but they are still car salesman. GET A MECHANIC TO MAKE A COMPLETE INSPECTION BEFORE PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM CARTER SUBARU!!
