A very mixed experience. I was recently in The Villages visiting elderly family members and to address family matters and had limited time, which I made clear during the entire process of purchasing a used Crosstrek. Three stars because despite the negative experience our salesperson, Sabrina, was excellent - very friendly, knowledgeable about the car and its features, and she made us feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. I highly recommend you work with her. The transaction itself was, in a word, weird.
At each stage, from the initial paperwork to the "real" paperwork, the forms were wrong (wrong addresses - not just that, but different wrong addresses), requiring me to take more time to re-sign them. In any event, we were told to come early Saturday morning when they opened to get everything done, which we did. We waited far, far too long into the morning to get to the paperwork. When brought into the finance manager's office, there was no introduction, no friendly hellos, nothing. He was abrupt with us, abrupt on a personal call he took while I was signing paperwork, and when we finished, there was no "thanks," - no "congratulations," - no handshake.
The car also had an audible buzzing in the driver's door when locking, which I thought was probably something in the power mirror assembly I could address at home because I was in a tremendous hurry. It turned out to be the power door lock actuator, which I had to have reset at my local dealer once I arrived home for a couple hundred bucks. I think it's odd they didn't address that before selling the car, but caveat emptor, of course.
