So I went to my local dealer

The problem? It was 4 hours away at a Mitsubishi dealer and the Subie dealer here in FW told me he could have it shipped over for the next day and get it certified. I'm not going to buy a used car that new that isn't certified. So, I tell him I'll have the down payment and title for my car on Saturday (last Saturday). I call Wednesday and ask how it's going - the guy I worked with wasn't there, so I talked with another guy - he said they called and didn't hear back from the other dealership. I call the Mitsu dealer - they had never received the call. Finally Saturday I get a call from the guy I originally worked with. He said that there was someone to look at the car, and he'd call them after noon to see about getting it shipped to FW, then would call me back. He never called me back. Forget that guy.

Meanwhile, 90 miles away, there are four OB's in my price range, two of which are certified, and I've already had about 15 emails and two calls back and forth with one of the guys at this dealership. He spoke with the service manager about the shake issue, test drove the two certified cars (an another I said I was interested in) up to 80 mph to confirm no shake, and has kept me updated on what's going on with all the cars. No run around, no BS. He also cut the price of my primary choice by $1000 without my even having been there yet. Going to look at them tomorrow.

Uh, just so you know, there is no such thing as a limited with a MT. All limited have either the CVT with the 2.5 or the auto with the 3.6. Before you go to a lot of trouble, find out if it is a MT premium level or a limited, with a slushbox. Just sayin'.

And by limited, I meant premium. But, uh...thanks.

Honestly, premium vs. limited weirds me out with Subaru - Premium is nearly always top of the line, not middle of the road.

Anyway, that's for, uh, finding my mistype.

Falcone Subaru in Indianapolis. You won't go wrong dealing with them. I bought both of my 2011's there. Good deal, no crap, no hassle.
