Business ProfileforAutoNation Subaru Carlsbad

I was attempting to get set up with a 2024 Forester, and was texting with ******** from this location. On June 28th, I gave her my license, insurance info and unthawed TransUnion so that my credit could be ran. On this day, I TOLD her that I was only interested in the 2024 Forester, that I was going to be coming from ******************, and that I wanted to be sure that she was holding it for me as I did not want any other car. She told me it should be fine, that she had plenty of inventory. I scheduled an 11a appointment with her on the morning of June 30th. I drove 2.5 hours on the 29th and paid $300 for a hotel to keep this appointment. 2 hours before our appt time on the 30th, she texted me to say that the car was sold. When I reminder her that I had *specifically* said I didn't want to have this situation, then she said that they aren't able to hold cars. Fine. But if she would have told me that on Friday when I brought it up, I would have saved myself time and money and just worked with a different dealer. That is just slimy, and she is an example of why car salesmen have a bad reputation. I did ultimately lease from Al at ************ Subaru on the 30th. In contrast to ********, he was fabulous to work with. Needless to say, dealing with her was a bad first Subaru experience. I would never recommend that dealership to anyone given how they do business.
