Default Had a great car buying experience at Mastro!

With a move to the NC mountains coming up in a few weeks, I wanted my wife to have a safe car.

We checked out several brands, and we decided on a Subaru. I've taken two trips up north this year and saw tons of them. We decided on a Forester. It seemed to be able to perform alot of different tasks. I wanted a safe car for snow and ice. She wanted something sporty that could haul the pets. The Forester seemed perfect.

We went and drove a an X first to see if it would be quick enough for her. Her last two cars were a Jag XK8, and a Lexus SC300. The X would of been fine down here, but mountains would make it alot slower. We got in the Turbo and took off. This thing hauls ass, I thought to myself. I looked at her and she was smiling.

We tried a few dealers and none of them wanted to deal. I made a post asking who has the best deal in town, and the consensus was Mastro. She called and spoke with David Cardwell and told him what she wanted, and how much she was going to spend. They cut a deal over the phone and in 2 hours we were driving home.

Thanks Mastro, and the employees that post here. That was as painless as a car sale could be. Got me thinking about a WRX.

Here are a couple pics.




I haven't seen her smile as much with a car as she does in this thing. That includes the Jag. I think it rocks! It's tight, has great fit and finish, and the handling is sick. I cant wait to put some tires on this thing and have some fun on the mountain roads. Overall we are very impressed by the Subaru. Did I say I was thinking about a WRX?

PM me if you have some silver STI rims for sale. I want to use the stockers for winter only and the STI rims for the summer.

car look nice. i dont think most sti rims will fit (5x114.5 lug pattern). try to find some 04 sti rims which are 5x100 but they are pretty high in demand and easily sell for around 1k.

Pretty darn low. Give Davin Cardwell a call at (813) 880-5966.

We got a leftover 07 for several hundred under invoice, and a $2k rebate from Subaru.

Thanks for the compliment.
