It has a nice, quiet and supple ride over bumps so I can get important naps in when traveling. It holds plenty of 35 lb bags of kibble from Petco (lamb, please), and is super affordable. Speaking of which, Alexis Gallagher and her owner Scott Silveira went out of their way to get dad the deal he needed. They even paused the deal for a couple of days so he would have time to cancel his GM card and apply for a new one in order to qualify for the $500 rebate incentive. Dad said the finance manager Preston was nice to deal with and gave him a great deal on lease protection in case I chew on the interior a little, or dad returns the car with worn out tires or a key missing (in case some dumb poodle swallows it).

I hate car dealers, I really really despise them and have literally walked away from buying $20-30k…read morecars simply because I couldn't bring myself to buy a car from a salesperson who was such a low-life. I mostly wanted to stay away from San Jose because I had phone and email conversations with some of the Subaru dealers up there and that alone was enough to know not to give them my business. I kept seeing a few nice looking Subaru's online, and although the dealership was about 2 hours away decided it was worth looking at since they had the exact car we were looking for. I checked Yelp to make sure the dealership didn't have 2 stars like some did. Nope, perfect ratings. I called up and was hoping to get Bob on the phone since so many people mentioned him in their reviews and sure enough Bob answered. Little did I know that Bob and Ginger were the only two people there. Bob was so good on the phone and just exuded honesty that I knew we had to go up there and buy the car if it drove like the rest of them. I love the idea of not haggling over a price...it's all really stupid and I just wish every dealer would give you a price that you pay, not one that's inflated for no reason. We drove up and took a few test rides with Ginger. She is great and helpful as well. Then we met with Bob who helped us sort out the paperwork, actually SAVED us another 2 hour trip back up since we had pre-arranged financing from a bank, encouraged us to use our existing financing rather than what he had because we already had it. We drove out of there with the car same day and I'm still glowing about how good of an experience it was, I really am. Can't say enough about Family Motors. The cars they sell are really the ideal used cars too because Bob seems to only buy really pristine condition, late models, with low miles and their detailing on them makes them look brand new. If family motors has a car that you know you want or you're just interested in used Subaru's or Saabs you really deserve to buy a car from someone who has tact and is friendly. We ended up saying goodbye after discussing non-profits and volunteering with Bob...that's not a typical used car buying experience to be sure.

I've never bought a used car before, so to say that I approached this experience with trepidation…read morewould be an understatement. I was referred to Family Motors by my trusted mechanics at Embarcadero Automotive in SF, because they didn't have what I was looking for, and couldn't get one at that point. I'd recently been in a bad accident with my trusty 10 year old Saab 9-5 wagon, was in a lot of pain, and wasn't interested in dickering around, exploring other options, or even thinking about trying to get used to a completely new make of car - I just wanted another one of the same thing with no hassle. I didn't see any reason to argue with the engineering excellence that had just saved my life. You don't always get to just pick the used car you want off a tree, though, which is part of why I've never bought one. As others have said, the whole experience was a complete pleasure. I called Bob when I saw a car that interested me on his website, and a few short hours later, after going up for a test drive, it was mine. I absolutely could not believe I'd found a 4 year old car with only 21,500 miles that was still in factory warranty, and obviously in absolutely cherry condition, with a clean Carfax, etc. - or a used car dealer who was actually a really nice guy who genuinely wanted to be sure I got the right car and wasn't the slightest bit pushy, especially on my very first experience with this sort of purchase. It actually turned out that Bob and I have some mutual friends, too, so that was fun. But I felt totally taken care of, and he even knocked an extra $600 off the price without my even asking. I still can't believe that I scored such a good car, and practically brand new, for such a low price, and that the whole experience was so easy. It's also obvious that he takes great care of clients, because the place is tucked away in a field, invisible from the street, so you'd have to know it's there and be looking hard to even find it. There's no way he can be getting the walk-in business that your average car dealer gets, so you know it *has* to be all word of mouth. Which indeed it is. Driving in is a bit of a surreal experience, because it's like you're going to someone's private farm, turning down a dirt road, going along the fence of a field - and then suddenly the vista opens up, not to fields full of growing things, but to a field of shiny, spotlessly clean, mint condition Saabs and Subarus. This is, indeed, what buying a new car ought to be like. If Bob's still carrying Saabs when I'm ready for my next one (and indeed if they're still even being built), I'll go right back up to him and get the next one there, too. BTW, if Bob doesn't have what you're looking for in stock, he'll go out and search one down for you, still with the same requirements of being low mileage, cherry lease returns.

I wish there was more transparency on the issues the vehicle has had since after all buying from a dealership is more trustworthy than from a private seller.
