No hassle - Hyundai
Great experience buying a used car. No pressure. Test drove the car on a Saturday. Came back for the purchase on a Tuesday. Picked up the car, registered and inspected on a Saturday. Great price, great service. Worth the drive from Feeding Hills. Thanks.

Bought with confidence
I am a Honda fan and have driven by van for 12 years. Although I have maintained my van, we all reach the tipping point of deciding if it is worth to keep fixing or maintaining the inevitable parts wear/tear. Hampden Trading's inventory was a good variety of makes/models of vehicle. I appreciate the CARFAx being online for each vehicle - timesaving for me and Rusty as he didn't have to print from me. I went to Hampden Trading twice and drove a total of 8 vehicles. I was able to discuss pros/cons of the models of the vehicles with Rusty, I, too, appreciated the "no pressure to buy" selling style. There was also good communication - via email and phone by the entire team. I am now going into the winter feeling confident driving a 2014 Subaru Forester.

Hassle-Free Experience
This was the easiest, hassle-free car buying experience ever. The vehicle was exactly what I was looking for, and everyone was very easy to deal with and extremely helpful. It took less than 20 minutes to sign all the paperwork, they went to the RMV and got the plates, and even delivered the car to my door. Thank you!!

Second Time Buyer!!
I bought a Subaru Forester earlier this month during the Covid-19 pandemic. They were great with taking care of me while practicing social distancing. I haven't had a lot of opportunity to drive it, so i waited a while before posting my review. All I can say is there has been no issues and it's been a pleasure shopping for a car here again!

Wonderful Experience
We had been looking for a vehicle for our 16 year old son for quite a while, visiting many small used car dealers. Most of these dealers appeared to put their cars out for sale without checking them for mechanical problems, or even cleaning them. It was our son who found a vehicle at Hampden Trading Company. We took the ride across the border, looked at it, and bought it. The process was painless and Rusty and Ed were fantastic. I'm glad we made the trip.

Pleasant vehicle purchase experience!
Rusty was very easy to deal with and no sales pressure. The price is as advertised with no additional fees. Rusty walked me thru the paperwork process. The Car itself was in good condition and at a reasonable price!! I will certainly purchase another car at Hampden Trading Company and will certainly pass on to families and friends.

Wonderful Buying Experience
Bought a Subaru for my daughter to use for college. Rusty made the buying experience very easy, no pressure and he is very informative about the vehicles. This dealership gets quality used cars, inspects them and prices them fairly. Had the car about 3 weeks and just recently took it on a trip to cape cod and back, and it is running great! Would highly recommend Rusty and Hampden Trading. Next used car, I'm coming back.

I was procrastinating car shopping since it is usually so unpleasant and stressful. Luckily, I found Hampden Trading Co on the internet. I ended up finding my dream car in my price range with no stress whatsoever. Rusty was so nice and made the transaction a breeze. Thanks Hampden Trading Co!

Great car selection
I recently bought a car from Hampden Trading for the first time, I had been looking for quite some time and would pull in to look at the inventory. They have the best selection of pre-owned cars in the area, they are great to work with and I am not one to rave about car buying experience's but I couldn't be happier. I will definitely be back.

Great first car
I got my first car (a 2007 Subaru Outback) from Hampden Trading Company. It was fairly priced, and well taken care of. There is no negotiations, but it's not needed with the fair prices since there are also no dealer fees. For an additional $200 they will take care of registration and inspection for you. The car that I got was well maintained by the previous owner, but HTC still replaced the timing belt and gaskets (etc) before selling it. They give the entire car a look over as well. Just to be safe, I brought it to my trusted mechanic to give it a look over while I was still covered by the lemon laws. He said that it looks great and well taken care of, just a testament to the quality of vehicles they are selling. I have no doubt that if there was any problems I could bring it back and it would have been taken care of fairly. I loved the fact that the sales are low pressure and I got to spend as much time as I wanted looking at and test driving the car. The only thing I have to say is that if you see a car you like, don't wait! They go fast and stock is rotating constantly. I would highly recommend HTC to anyone.

Personal Service and Top Quality Vehicle
Coming from out of state I was slow in making a decision on the car I really wanted, but when I made a decision, of course, it was not available. Rusty was patient with me and kept an eye out for my exact requirements. Alas, within a short period of time my car surfaced. Not only were my requirements met in what I wanted for my vehicle, but I got a few bonuses in the package such as leather interior, heated seats, etc. If the need ever arises that I am I the market again for another vehicle I will be back. Thank you Rusty!

Return customer
I just purchased my 3rd Subaru from Hampden Trading Company. The vehicles were for my children. They wrecked the first one, but was so pleased with the service and quality of our purchase I returned. Just now I bought the 3rd one for my other daughter. I feel very comfortable with the reliability and honesty of the dealership. Rusty is not pushy and had all the paperwork completed for us. There is no need to be pushy here as the quality and pricing speak for themselves. I will soon be looking for a new vehicle for myself- I had thought about buying new, but am now considering used.

Fabulous Professionalism
Thank you, Rusty Hughes, for making the anxiety-filled experience of buying a used car easy, friendly, pressure free, and successful. Earlier I had walked away dissatisfied from several dealerships in my search for a used, manual-transmission Subaru Outback in my four-figure price range. I wanted a RED one. Found what I was seeking at Hampden. Rusty and Eddie saw to it that all of the engine issues we discovered during a long preliminary test drive were thoroughly fixed before I drove it off the lot for home. No other dealer would have done the degree of remedial work on that engine that Hampden did! Impressed my mechanic. Took it for a very long test drive before finalizing the deal and taking it home. Car was connected to a device that checked each system as we drove. All earlier issues had been satisfactorily corrected. Good price, great customer service, great responsiveness to issues and concerns. Treated with respect and patience. I'd go back there if I ever need a "new" used car. And my "new" 2012 Subaru Outback has a six-speed manual transmission and is RED!!! Yippee!!!

Absolutely love Hampden Trading Company
We have just purchased our third car from Hampden Trading Company. Our salesman, Rusty, was absolutely wonderful! No pressure at all and they have very reliable vehicles. Hampden Trading Company looks over every car and checks it for any problems. If there are any, they fix them before you drive the car off the lot. I have total confidence in this company and have enjoyed working with Rusty. He is honest and straight forward. I wouldn't buy a used car from anyone but Hampden Trading Company.

We just bought our son his first car (a Subaru Outback). We browsed on 3 different occasions, and each time we felt welcomed. Our questions were always answered in an honest and helpful way. The care taken with the car prior to picking it up impressed us so much. Rusty was wonderful to work with. We will definitely buy from them again!

Good customer service and selection
We had a good experience at Hampden Trading Company and found the selection to be good. A word of caution though, check your lug nuts before you leave. My wife’s cousing bought a car there a year ago and told us that immediately after leaving, he lost 4 out of 5 lug nuts on one wheel on the Masspike. So, I went and checked ours, and found 2 missing from one wheel. As I said, we had a good experience there and would go back, but I would check the lug nuts before driving off the lot.

2008 Subaru Outback
My wife and I stopped in at Hampden Trading Company on a whim late one day where we met Rusty (Rudy’s roommate in college – ask him) for the first time. He’s a great salesman and I liked him immediately. There were two other customers and it was past his dinner time – but he stayed with me. In 15 minutes, he told me most of what I needed to know about the company’s culture and business model – and I was impressed – as in – I can get a good deal here. He told me to check the inventory every week as they get 7-10 new (used) cars every week from MetroWest Subaru in Natick – I did and within a couple of weeks, they had what I was looking for. I went up the next day to test drive and buy the car. Three business days later, I took delivery. There were some minor issues that took a few days / iterations to iron out but my sense was that they (I was working with Dave) were fully committed to resolving / fixing the problems. In situations like this you to begin to doubt all the chest pounding talk … at the end of the day it’s all about how they actually respond … stand behind the words and fix things. And they did – within the standard warranty period. They said that they would address any (reading between the lines – reasonable requests and time period) problems even after the required warranty period expires. I haven’t had to test these assurances (I hope I never have to), but I’m reasonably confident that they will backup these words as well. I also like the atmosphere – low key – zero pressure. I think I heard Rusty say “The cars sell themselves”. Check it out.

Easy, very straightforward
I had been looking for quite awhile and getting discouraged. I saw a car offered at Hampden Tradiing and stopped by. Met Rusty who was very helpful, no pressure at all! He was very pleasant to my 93 year old mother as well. The car I called on was in their shop as they were checking it out as they had just gotten it. Rusty said he would call when it was ready. He called the next day and said it didn't check out too much wrong with it and they were not comfortable selling it. Told of a Subaru Outback they had and we went down and drove it. It fit our needs/budget he took it to our garage to have it checked out by them prior to taking a cent from us. A few minor issues that were normal for the mileage on the car, they fixed them all! Also did all paperwork, Registry, insurance, plates I just picked it up and drove it home! Highly recommend you include them in your search for a vehicle, in fact tell them what you want, they will look. Our cousin showed up to visit with a great Subaru Forester that he had just bought from them, also through Rusty. Thrilled with it! Go see Rusty!

Hmm
We purchased our 2005 Subaru Forester XS LL Bean edition from Hampden Trading Company in June 2018. It was $7000 after tax and had 87,700 miles. So far, we love the car as a whole. It's in great shape for being 13 years old, it drives well and our purchase- despite being out of state -was relatively seamless. We had a miscommunication about being able to take the car that day and had to make two two-hour trips but it was overall worth it. Rusty was very prompt with sending over the title paperwork via Fedex and we were able to get the car in a good amount of time. That being said, when we purchased the car, we were told there was extensive work done on it (replacing gaskets, etc.) that supposedly was worth $800. When we test drove the car, the AC didn't work and so they were able to fix it before we picked it up which was much appreciated. For a month or so, we drove the car and it was fine. One day, we started hearing a whistling noise. We brought it to our mechanics and were told that the muffler piece broke and needed to be replaced (which is a common Subaru issue because it's ceramic). Roads in upstate New York are horrible and so the car has been bouncing around a lot. While the car was up they noticed the oil pan was leaking and the alternator would eventually need to be replaced. We did all of the work (except for replacing the oil pan) since we got it at a good price and spent $600, bringing the total we spent on the car to around $7600 which is not too bad for such a great car. This month (September 2018), I had a punctured tire so when I brought the car in to get my tires fixed, the mechanic looked it over once again. This time, he informed me that now my struts were leaking and that because it has a special auto-leveling suspension, I would need special dealer parts to replace them. He informed me that this would unfortunately cost about $1000 to repair, bringing the total spent on the car to around $8600. He informed me that if I wanted to keep the car for the long term, he would recommend that I repair the struts for longevity. I have grown to love this car and so I'd like to keep it for as long as possible. That being said, is $8600 for a 2005 Subaru Forester XS LL Bean Edition (with now 90,700 miles) is a little expensive. KBB says the value of it from a dealer would be around $6000. After all of this, I would say that we had a good experience buying from Hampden, but I wish they could've warned us if they knew all of these things would need to repaired. If their mechanic did such "extensive" work on it, he surely would have noticed that the AC didn't work in the middle of summer and that the oil pan had significant wear on it and that the alternator was starting to go. We've spent $1600 over 3 months. Hampden has a good selection and are helpful sales people but at the end of the day, it was our choice to buy a used car.

After my17 year olds first major accident, thankfully not hurt or his fault, we were dealing with insurance and car shopping right in the midst of the holidays. e were actually able to upgrade to a new, lower mileage car with only noted problem pain blemishes, otherwise a great car for a 17 year old who is now driving a newer car than me. And everything including registration and inspection were done for us. Thank You Rusty!
