This week, I was taking care of some maintenance on my wife's 2004 Subaru Outback. As I was going…read morethrough records we keep on the car, I came across the sales agreement/bill of sale for the car, which we purchased used from here in May of 2014. I went on Yelp and noticed no one had written a review for them, so here's mine:
In spring of 2014, my wife was shopping for a used car. We looked at and drove a Subaru Outback wagon from a used car lot in Rhode Island, but the car had issues, so we passed on it. My wife, however, fell in love with the car, so we were on a mission to find the same exact model. Most Subaru Outbacks have a 4-cylinder engine, but we were looking for one with a peppier 6-cylinder engine, and a limited edition one at that. We looked at car listings from private sellers and dealers, and I test drove two other cars at used-car dealers, but was not impressed with either car.
Then, we saw a listing for the car we wanted at The Car Palace. The car only had 104,000 miles, and even better, it had rear quarters with no body rot, and a heated windshield with no cracks (two common problems with these model cars). We test drove the car; it ran great, and the price was reasonable, so we decided to buy it. I did notice that one of the transaxle boots was torn, so the owner agreed, in writing, to replace the axle. I returned a week or so later, and true to his word, he replaced the axle, and gave the car a Rhode Island inspection sticker.
The entire buying experience at Car Palace was very laid-back, with no pressure ... everything went smoothly. And, they sold us a quality car that has stood the test of time. My wife has had it more than 3-1/2 years and put approximately another 36,000 miles on it, and it has been a very reliable vehicle, needing only normal wear items such as tires and brakes. Most importantly, my wife loves the car!
