If you are local to the area or perhaps from around here you may have noticed that driving by Bennington Subaru we do not have an abundance of options on our lot. We have been asked a lot of question regarding this so we are designing this area as a place to answer these frequent questions.
Q: Where are all of your cars?
A: When the Tsunami struck Japan although it did not damage Subaru's plant the parts manufacturers were deeply affected and as a result Subaru's production slowed. The lack of inventory is a nation wide issue Subaru is dealing with.
Q: When do you expect to have an increased selection of vehicles?
A: By the end of December we hope to be approaching our usual inventory of new cars and hope that by the middle to end of January we will be back to normal.
Q: What if I want a car that you guys don't have on your lot?
A: There are actually two very viable options for this conundrum, the first is that we locate the vehicle at a fellow dealership and we swap one of ours for one of theirs. The second and easiest solution is the option of ordering a vehicle. I will touch much more on that shortly.
Q: Won't I get a better deal from a dealership with more inventory?
A: No that is a myth of the car business that a dealer who is larger buys there vehicles cheaper or that they can afford to sell them for less than a smaller dealer. We all buy our cars from Subaru for the same exact price.
