Steven’s Creek Subaru Review By Cole K.

Let me start by saying that I came onto the lot looking for a very specific year Forester that fit very specific criteria. The car had to be a between 03'-04', under 100K miles, no savage title, and automatic transmission. I am planning on moving to Idaho in the next few months and needed to have a safe and reliable AWD car that I count on to make it to 300K miles. I had been looking online for about a month trying to find a Forester that met all of my needs, but since these cars are over 10 years old, it is hard to find on with low mileage. Finally, I saw an ad for one at the Stevens Creek Subaru Dealership. So I decided to go in and check it out. Rocky, the salesman I was dealing with, was very down to earth and listened to every detail of what I needed. Unfortunately, the Forester that I had seen on their website, was sold before it even hit the lot (It's incredible how quickly older Foresters get sold.) I asked Rocky to let me know when and if they received another 03'-04' Forester. Within a few hours, I get a call from Rocky telling me that they had just received a Forester that fit all of my criteria and that I could come and look at it that same day! When I came in, Rocky was already waiting for me and eager to show me the car. It was a 2003 Forester XS, only 94K miles on it, one owner, and no salvage title. It technically wasn't even for sale yet because they had literally just received it, but I still couldn't believe that he found me one so quickly! I came in right away to see the car. Rocky knew how badly I wanted the car, but he didn't try and pressure me at all into buying it. That's what I appreciated about him. He seemed genuinely interested in finding me the right car. Rocky is a very straight forward type of guy. He told me all the facts about the car, asked me what I was planning on doing with the car and what my budget was. After making the decision that I was interested in buying the car, we sat down and started talking numbers. The car was a bit over my budget, but Rocky fought hard and got me the car SIGNIFICANTLY under the asking price. He even got the mechanics to do a little extra work on the car for me to make sure that it was in pristine condition. I've had the car for about a week now and I absolutely love it. It drives like a brand new car. I'm usually a person that suffers from buyers remorse, but I was extremely confident that Rocky got me the best deal possible and that I was getting a reliable vehicle. I can't really speak for the dealership as a whole, but let me just say that Rocky was really awesome to work with and he treats you more like an old buddy than a potential buyer. I highly recommend him if you are looking to buy a Subaru!
