06 Subaru Forester

I was very satisfied with my 06 Subaru forester, 5speed that I purchased. Compared to the last place I felt with, they were 10x better. They replaced the timing belt, water pump, and fixed the muffler, and put on new tires. On top of that they did a great detail job on it, and filled up the tank. I will definitely recommend

The customer comes first at Foreign Auto Sales

This is my second time buying a car through Foreign Auto Sales, and they make the whole process as easy as it could possibly be. I knew the make and model I was leaning towards- a BMW 328i with X drive- and they arranged for a test drive of a like vehicle, located exactly what I wanted, and got it for a very fair price. They then checked the car out top to bottom, determined some minor parts needed replacement (covered under warranty), and took care of everything before arranging delivery. These are honest guys that make fair deals with their customers. I would recommend them to anybody- regardless of the type of vehicle they are looking for.

No hidden surprises

My first time buying a car through a dealer and found it to be very easy. They serviced the car as described when i checked it out, this was great since i was not a local buyer so having honest and accurate postings of a car takes some of the unknown out before i travel to really consider buying. Also, they where very responsive about any questions I had, plus i was new to this car buying experience so naturally i had a lot. Overall it was a relaxed environment and enjoyed buying a car from there and its a week later and still love the car i bought.

Thank you Zachery. Your honesty and friendly manor helps too! It was a pleasure dealing with you and your father. I love telling the story of how you and your Dad rode his motorcycle from Erin NY to pick up the car, which I believe is first for us. Enjoy the Honda and thank you for the kind words Zachery. Happy Trails!! Jon and Jeff

Foreign Auto goes the extra mile.

I just bought my second vehicle from Foreign Auto. My first purchase, a 2002 Passat Wagon, was in Feb 2013. I couldn't believe the prep work they did in servicing this car. They changed the timing belt, CV joints, and a fuel sensor (because the check engine light was on). My previous car to that was also a Passat Wagon, so I know what those items cost. I had the car one day and the check engine light came on again, John said "bring it up". It turned out to be another sensor and he bought the part and his mechanic installed it. I put 50,000 miles on that car in two years. I frequently check their website/inventory. A month ago I saw a beautiful 2007 Subaru Wagon with only 69,000 miles. I test drove it and bought it. They installed new brakes, wheel bearings, and new tires. I am so impressed with their vehicle prep. Their prices are great, they are honest and have the utmost integrity. They took care of all the paperwork, ie loan app, insurance transfer and registration transfer. I have recommended these guys to friends, coworkers and associates who may be looking for a car. I'm sure this isn't the last car I will buy at Foreign Auto.

We have always had a great experience!

Over the years, we have purchased eight vehicles from Foreign and have always had a wonderful experience with them. Great prices and reliable cars! The staff has always been very helpful and super friendly. I would recommend Foreign Auto Sales without any hesitation.

Thank you Carrie for the business now and in the future!

The BEST used car dealer in the Capitol Region!

I recently traded my VW Tiguan with John. The Tiguan was the second car I purchased from Foreign Auto and the 2012 RAV4 makes number 3. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire purchase process. They even drove the car to me to test drive! They price the cars fairly and have a top notch service dept that goes through each car and makes all the necessary repairs before purchase. My RAV4 got all new brakes and 4 new tires. They are great honest dealers, not easy to find as most car dealers forget who you are after the sale.

Worst dealership not worth it

Don't buy here worst thing I did in my life and if there's any problems you will be without a car for a few months they will take weeks too fix anything and also if you plan too buy your car here and get your car inspected I suggest paying for it they had sold me a car with multiple problems and the warranty is not a good choice at all

My name is Jon Cullinan and I have owned Foreign Auto Sales for 23 years. I am sorry, but I don't know who you are? We do not have a customer named Stacy from Latham. If we have upset a person named Stacy, we have never heard from them via email or phone. This review is the first we have heard from you. We researched our records and "Stacy from Latham" does not exist. If this is a real review, please reach out to us anytime at our office. As one can see from our reviews on Cars.com and many other sites, our record is excellent and we take pride in our customer service. As I said, if this review is real, please reach out to us as soon as possible. The only Stacy we have sold is from Watervliet and since that person picked up their car, they have been back once for a small repair that we covered entirely. It is our hope to rectify the situation with Stacy from Latham. Thank you. Jon and Jeff. Foreign Auto Sales, since 1993

Great experience with ForeignAuto Sales

We are new to US as we just relocated here, visited a few car dealers and definitely Foreign Auto Sales is one of the best of them. Especially thanks to Jeff's help for us to get the car we want. Thanks for the trust from Jeff to let us test drive by our own, although is just a small distance but we greatly appreciate the trust from the team. Purchase process is simple and easy, especially for us who has just arrived US for 3 weeks time, Jeff actually help us to liaise with bank and insurance company of our choice of preference. We even got our car one day earlier than targeted date. Jeff even drove us from Clifton Park to the office to collect the car when it is ready for handover. Car price is reasonable, or should be lower than market price. We found out some problems with the car (tyre tube air leakage, rear air-conditional blower not functioning) after few days, and again, the team has greatly done their after sales repair on the car, perfect experience buying car from them. We have used the car for about 1 month and so far we enjoy driving it. Overall, we would recommend this dealer to others.

Thank you very much for the kind words Cliff. We try our best to make every customer happy and it was a pleasure to deal with you and your family. Let us know if we can ever be of any help in the future. Best of luck to you and your family. Enjoy the Mazda! Jeff and Jon

Wonderful to do business with!

I purchased a 2006 Subaru Forester and for an older vehicle it is in wonderful condition. I and my husband are a little leery of dealing with used car places, but our experience with Foreign Auto was so good it brought our expectations up considerably. Jon and Jeff were accommodating and considerate. Although they are a very busy dealership (high points for that) they took time to understand and meet our needs. We traded in an older Subaru, and although we didn't quite get the amount we wanted, it was a fair trade that we were happy with. I had cause to call up after the sale with some questions and the secretary (I don't remember her name) gave me good and sound advise. Before the sale, during the sale and after the sale my expectations were met to my every need. Always look to people's reviews, it helps, and their (Foreign Auto's) reviews should be taken seriously. Thanks guys, Very happy customer
