Used 2018 Subaru Forester for Sale in Emerson, NJ

What a pleasure! If you are as OCD as me and do your homework in researching a vehicle and its pricing as well as dealer reviews and you are looking for a Subaru, this is the place to go. First off, I have owned and/or currently owned Nissans, Toyotas, Jeep, Plymouth/Dodges, Acura, Suzuki (don't ever do that!), Hyundai, and Ford/Mercury's. In fact, I owned a 1976 Subaru box car (orange) to which the head gasket blew within 4 months of ownership, so I was a bit queasy trusting Subaru again. More and more research including articles from Consumer Reports, Edmunds, Cars, etc., all pointed to, for me, the Outback and so far, knock on wood, I am pretty confident that the decision I made was right. As to Bill Kolb, Jr., I had the pleasure of dealing with Holman Cano; professional, friendly, no-nonsense approach to which most of our conversations were by telephone or e-mail. I spent a total of maybe 2 hours at the dealership in two days. 1 night to see if the vehicle was right for me and getting to the price and financing again, right for me; and the other time was to go over the vehicle in detail. A++++ to you guys. Hope to deal with you again when my wife is in need of a car.

The best example of why I love this car: passing all the stuck in the snow giant four wheel drive trucks in the parking lot at work to easily park and leave as well. Bravo Subaru

I was in the market for a new car. I have always admired the Subaru WRX Sti in many ways. It is my dream car. However, at my age and current socio-economic background the purchase of such vehicle is ill advised. Nonetheless, I purchased the next best thing in relation to my current situation... a used 2016 Subaru Impreza 2.0i the hatchback (cuz you know... coolfactor x100). Background Before I even went to the dealership, I made various phone calls and obsessed research on different car models that would compliment my lifestyle. The recurring theme was All-Wheel drive, hatchback and manual. Truth be told, this was my first ever car purchase. My parents bought me a car for college many moons ago. It was a clunky SUV that survived 13 years of neglect and terrible care-taking on my part. It still survives to this day, but I shudder in fear every time I turn the ignition. Basically, it was time to retire the beast and take on a different adventure with another. The Sale As my research progressed, I stumbled upon a used 2016 Subaru Impreza hatchback. It was exactly what I wanted. I called Bill Kolb Jr Subaru to see if it were still available. I was put in touch with Howard in the process and we scheduled an appointment. Upon arrival, I was greeted as if I were family. Howard was the first desk on the right as soon as you walked in. Much like barbershops or salons, i had a feeling that 1st seat or first desk was reserved for the elite. I was not wrong. Howard projects an aura of self-esteem and confidence in his work that permeates in the air. His hairstyle was slicked back with the sides short. He wore a kind of horned rim glasses that shouted out Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and Hipster. This man has style, class and the demeanor of Victorian royalty. He was my kind of people. As mentioned before, this was my first time buying a car, and i was a complete NOOB in the whole process. Howard walked me through the entire course on what to expect and answered my questions without fail. He was very patient and diligently answered every stupid question I asked. Since it was a used car, Howard explained the background of the vehicle to me and he got me when he said "brand new engine." At that point, and at 30 mins of walking into the door and even before seeing the car ... i was ready to buy. This man was good at his job. When it was time to test drive the vehicle, I admitted to Howard that it had been awhile since I had the opportunity to drive manual car. He politely joked if he was in trouble. I answered a sincere YES, but he was still patient and even talked me through the whole ride. I was nervous, much like my road test in the Bronx at the age of 17. I thought Howard was going to fail me. I imagined him with a clipboard with only YES or NO on it. Nevertheless, I felt like I passed and was worthy of the car, which by the way, felt like a dream! It was compliant, safe and exceeded my expectations. The takeaway Howard wrestled with the paperwork with ease, I spoke to the finance department and came up with a reasonable outcome. I barely did anything. The entire process was as smooth as butter on a warm day. Howard did his thing, i made smart and annoying comments and our transaction was complete. The following day, I drove the car home after giving him my down-payment. No hassle, no gimmicks. I didn't have to haggle because I felt taken cared off with a great deal. In the future, when it is time to buy a new car, hopefully in another 13 years, i can only hope to see Howard there or another just like him. Howard is absolute professional and a master at his craft.

This car is perfect for me. It combines comfort, reliability, styling and exceptional performance on all types of roads. I have the Touring turbo model which is very quick off the line and hustles down the road easily when prodded. Combine all of that with the practicality of an SUV and you can understand why I am in love with it. I prefer to drive it over my other car (which I also love), a 3 series BMW, because it is as quick but much more versatile.

I previously bought 3 subaru's from Bill Kolb Jr. Subaru, then bought a 2018 Honda CRV, very unhappy so I went back to Bill Kolb Jr. Subaru and bought a 2019 Subaru Forester. I felt like I was home again !!! I was only gone for 6 months but it felt like a lifetime. Joe Postighone sales manager, Marty in finance, Howard, my salesman, Nixon and Gregory in service all accepted me with open arms. This is the best dealer that I have ever dealt with. They are knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and give the best service. They are thorough when you go in for any type of service. They treat you like FAMILY !!! I feel so much safer in my Subaru then I did in the CRV. I would recommend this dealer to everyone.

Only owned it two days but so far really like it a lot! Look forward to many years of use from the Subaru Forester! Great

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

This cat is great for a small family. It gets great mileage, has ample cargo room and is comfortable even on long trips. I've been most impressed with the handling and performance this winter on snow and ice. It crawls through snow and and ice without any trouble.

Yohanseh LLoyd was an amazing salesman from start to finish. I came in interested in viewing a car that was not available on the lot. Yohanseh LLoyd found two cars that were similar and had me test drive both. At this point I told him I would be looking at other dealerships and I wished him a good evening. He called me several days later to inquire whether I had chosen another vehicle and encouraged me to come in again. I stated I was interested in a car at the Edison location and he actually drove it up for me to test drive. When I didn???t like it he smiled and asked me if I was interested in test driving the other cars from earlier in the week. Throughout this entire process he was professional, respectful and most importantly patient. I test drove a wonderful certified pre-owned car but it didn???t have leather so Wagner the finance specialist said we could certify the one I liked in black. Wagner found me financing within a month of repossession and worked with six banks until he got a ???Yes!??? We went to close and the vin stated the car was blue. I told Wagner I thought the car was black and was unsure if I wanted it. We went out to check and the car was midnight blue. After working for an hour to find me financing I stated I didn???t want the color and left. Wagner was extremely polite and said we could take a day to think about it. Both men were working with a woman who was struggling to find financing after a nightmare of a voluntary repossession. They didn???t have to be polite or professional but they were. I struggled at the closing with references and Wagner brainstormed with me to find the appropriate people to use as references. They were consummate professionals and found a girl financing with a 530 credit score. Go see my boys. They???ll make it happen!!!!

I've always wanted a Forester - for years! - but when Consumer Reports said this was the best car for senior drivers, I bought one. I got the 2018 model because it was almost the same as the current year, but it's a splendidly equipped car. I love driving it and love all the safety features. The visibility is terrific. It's a certified pre-owned car, so it's almost as good as new. I'm a little concerned that a short driver like myself will feel some shoulder fatigue on longer trips - the armrest between the front seats isn't long enough or high enough for short drivers, and isn't sufficiently adjustable. So there's nowhere to rest my forearms comfortably. But that's really the only thing.

Since I hadn't purchased a new Honda car in close to 20 years, I wasn't sure about what the present-day car buying/leasing experience would be like at any car dealership. I wanted more of that high Honda quality, but where should I go? And having never leased a car before, which is what I wanted to do at this time, that also added to my concerns. Well, having gone to Route 23 Honda in Pompton Plains, N.J., both David Volpe, car sales representative, and Scott Simon, customer service (finance) manager, both immediately alleviated my concerns with friendliness and professionalism combined. David and Scott made my car-leasing experience as smooth and time-efficient as possible. Scott clearly explained my finance options and leasing details, and his handling of the required paperwork went better than I thought it would be at a dealership. David also went over leasing details, but went above and beyond with the ease of paperwork at his end, as well as other facets of the car-leasing experience. Mr. Volpe explained all the new and important details of the new Honda CR-V that I wanted to lease with option to buy in the future, and David even got into the new car with me to highlight those great features of the 2016 Honda CR-V. David made some interesting suggestions for a few accessories, but there was never any pressure to buy extra items. I don't like the "salesman pressure" you might find at another dealership (unfortunately, I did come across this once at another dealership...), but both Scott and David are highly professional gentlemen who never applied the "salesman pressure". Mr. Volpe also checked in with me several times via email to be sure that the new car was running smoothly with that top-level Honda quality, and David is always available to answer any questions I may have. In addition, I feel that the car price was very fair, and I believe I got a great deal. And finally, the new CR-V is a FABULOUS car - SO comfortable to drive and loaded with some top-of-the-line features! I truly feel that the Honda Corp. should be extremely proud of David Volpe and Scott Simon and the entire crew (service, etc.) at Route 23 Honda in Pompton Plains. David and Scott treat you like family, a family I want to be a part of for a long, long time. These guys are "top shelf", and I most highly recommend these superb folks to my relatives, friends, colleagues, and EVERYONE who wants to experience an awesome car buying/leasing experience. Five Stars? No way -- Five PLUS Stars!!

Passenger airbag problem. Took over three months to get part. I have test driven 2019 and like this model much better. Just right size now hat I’m no driving a van. Touring model is great. Love the brown leather.

I bought my second car 2019 Legacy from this dealership. First, I made an appointment to see a Sales Consultant on-line. On the same day, I received a friendly call from Robert Price who set up an appointment for me. On my appointment day, I met with Steve Durkin, Sales Consultant, who was friendly, helpful, patient and very professional. We negotiated but I never felt being pushed to agree on the price. Eventually we agreed on a price I am comfortable with. I also met Anthony Smolt, who was equally nice and friendly. The color of my choice was not available at that time but Steve promised that it will only take a few days before the next delivery. I have to travel for family reason and although the car has arrived in the dealership, I was still out of town. As soon as I returned to New Jersey after a month, I called the dealership and Steve was happy to inform me that my new car was waiting for me and the negotiated price was still in order. I went to the Dealership, sat with Steve and signed necessary documents in a very friendly atmosphere. I met with David Fried of Finance who has 110% patience with me. He suggested and recommended but still it was my own decision which optional product/service I will purchase. Then I met with Nick Gigantes who escorted me to my new 2019 Legacy. Another man with the virtue of patience, Nick showed me the interior features of my car. After thoroughly explaining to me everything, he has to do it all over again because I forgot what he just explained. I drove ???my pride and joy??? home. The next day, Steve Durkin called me to follow up on how I am doing with my new Subaru and he reassured me that if I have questions or problems or any difficulty, all I have to do is call the dealership and I will get immediate assistance. My overall experience with Wayne Subaru Dealership (the Sales and the Service Department) is truly exceptional because the staff like Robert, Steve, Anthony, David and Nick are exceptionally professional. I am so proud to quote that ???my Legacy is not just a sedan. It???s a SUBARU.??? Thank you. Anne Marie

I chose this vehicle after reading many reviews and comparisons to similar SUVs. I needed the adjustable seat and heated seat features and they are great. The ride is good and visibility is good, all important to me here in upstate New York winters.

Nice and easy no rush no pressure overall I???m happy 😊 o yeah good lunch they cleaned her up real nice 👍🏿 but once I get it home my wife will jack it from me!

My 1st Forester is a 2009 turbocharged model which is still going strong with 110,000 miles. The newer Foresters offer safety and convenience features mine doesn't have so I decided to upgrade. The 2019 Forester no longer offers the turbocharged version so I opted for a certified pre-owned 2018 XT Touring which has a turbocharger. I love the vehicle but because the turbo is no longer available, the used turbo versions have become quite pricey. I am keeping the old one for hauling dogs, lawn equipment and towing my utility trailer. The new one will be just for people for now. The vehicle is just the right size. I am 6'4" and would appreciate a little more leg room and thigh support but the Forester is as comfortable as any other small SUV I checked. There is plenty of headroom. The turbo does require premium fuel and has a lower mileage rating. With the turbo and sports tuned suspension, it is a fun vehicle to drive and worth the money to me. In over 10 years, the older one left me stranded only once when a drive belt broke after 100,000 miles. Based on reviews, I expect the same reliability from the newer one.

I had a battery with one bad cell (or so AAA told me after they started my car). So I called and then drove straight to Paul Miller Subaru which, as it happened, was having a sale on batteries. I checked into Express service and asked them to put in a new battery and check my wiper blades. The whole thing took about 20 minutes and I was back driving to work with a new batter for $100 plus installation and a new free set of wiper bladed that happened to be under warranty after 8 months. Pretty cool.

Great car, but battery died after 6 months and Bloomington Subaru didn't make it easy to get it replaced. This is a known issue with Foresters.

" I have to say, I was very pleased with the level of service and attention I received at Springfield Acura. My sales representative, Jean and his colleague, Josh are truly a dynamic duo! My lease on a previous vehicle was coming to its end and I was "browsing" on the day I showed up. I had ZERO intention of walking out with a vehicle that day. I figured at best I would test drive and have something to compare to the X5 BMW that I was truly considering. However, the attention, level of service and genuine interest - not the pushy and blasé salesman behavior I had previously experienced - really made the choice a no brainer. Thank you, Jean & Josh I look forward to seeing you both again soon."

Meets every need, roomy, drives great in snow, handles better than any suv I've driven. Look, design, USB portals, road side assistance, bluetooth, all great features

Great service overall. My salesman was Dennis. My sales experience was great and easy going. I went in for a maxima platinum and got exactly what I wanted.

I loved the look of the Forester. I also liked the way it drove. I had to not get the Forester because when you fold down the back seats there is about a six inch hump . This as going to cause problems hauling items. There was also a good bit of space between the front seat and the folded down seats even if you moved the front seats all the way back.

I went to another dealership first and found the salesman to be pushy so I decided to look around. I found out through a friend who bought their car from Nissan of Garden City that the service and sales were unbelievable. He was right!! The entire process took only a few hours and I was in my new Maxima. I hope that others listen to my recommendation. Thank you Gina you were great.

Replaced a 2002 BMW I bought new and loved until the last day I drove it in 2018. Now I look forward to every chance I get to drive my Forester. My dogs do too.

I would like to commend Radimir, Jordan, and Amy for being so helpful in our buying process. My son and I felt like part of the family. No rush, and no tension. And to the internet sales Lourdes and Kalvin also thanks for following up on our application. You are an awesome team! “LOVE” that’s what makes a Subaru.....

We needed a car with plenty of interior space to fit our dogs and camping gear, and wanted to be sure we would be ok in all kinds of terrain. The new forester sport checked all of the boxes. Comfy, gets us everywhere, and has all the features we need plus some we realized are nice. The only thing we miss is a manual transmission. Come on America....

This is my 4th or 5th car Subaru from this dealer. In every respect we have been pleased. The Sales and Credit team is very professional with the highest integrity.

I love my Forester! It has the features I wanted plus a few more. The safety measures are excellent. The dealership, Rafferty Subaru in Newtown Square, PA is a fantastic place to do business.

Decided to buy a car. Subaru is my choice. Went to Paul Miller and wow what a harrowing experience. No personable touch felt like a zoo. Decided to go to Lynne’s Subaru and what a difference.Greeted by a sales associate Pamela and she couldn’t be more pleasant. By this time end of day and disappointing experience with Paul Miller I was in no mood to haggle. Explained to Pam bo patience what is your best deal. What a surprise an offer we could not refuse right out of the gate.next the financing we’ll Jordan could not be more personable and accommodating. He answered my questions and came up the best package that would work for us. Picked up our new car today and could not say enough about what a personalized experience this was. Personal touch is still alive with Lynne’s Subaru.If you are a busy person looking for no hassle buying and appreciate being treated with friendly smile and respect not someone who tries to give you that phony sales pitch go to Lynne’s.

We’ve own a 2003 and 2013 Foresters and both of them had extensive wheel bearing problems at around 40-60,000 miles, costing $1500 ea. Came to learn from a Subaru auto mechanic that Subarus have a design problem with bearing seals. We will not ownanother one in the future.

This is the second car I've purchased from Bill Kolb Jr. Subaru; both times a Subaru Impreza (2013 and now a 2018). Both times I worked with Gary Mendelsohn, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a comprehensive, personal, attentive, and highly knowledgable sales consultant. He makes the entire car-buying experience as smooth as possible. I have had nothing but positive experiences with both Subarus I've owned, and that is 100% thanks to Gary - and the whole team at Bill Kolb!

This was a pre-owned vehicle used lightly as a loaner. It looks, runs and even smells like new. And we paid a great price, no BS

My 2014 Legacy was the best car I ha e ever owned! I wanted all the safety features that the newer ones have so I drove across the bridge to Bill Kolb. I was greeted by Ross Kelter, a knowledgeable, patient and kind man. Since it was the end of the 2018 production year and he couldn???t find me exactly what I wanted, I decided to order a 2019. There was absolutely no ???hard sell???!!!!! The car came in sooner then I expected! Wow! Ross sat very patient,y with me and explained every system- and this car has every bell and whistle imaginable! He even called me the very next day to make sure everything is okay. Everyone at the dealership was friendly and helpful. These guys all really wa t to be there, it???s obvious that they like what they???re doing (and don???t have to check with a manager e Rey 2 minutes)! I???ve never had a car buying experience like this Now I???m directing my Subaru.buddies to go there! Even though it???s not my closest dealer I???ll probably have my gorgeous and luxurious Legacy serviced there! Thank you, thank you!

The Forester is exactly what we were looking for. Reasonably priced, very comfortable, efficient for its size, smooth driving, excellent performing. Upright seating fits a wide range of sizes and is great for tall drivers. Excellent rear seat space. Very, very, good cargo space access. The interior is well laid out. Controls are easy to reach and easy to understand. One more thing, the climate control system is fully up to handling Phoenix summer weather.

Greg Hazen was very efficient and a pleasure to work with.

This car provides one of the best safety feature, eyesight. Driving with it always provides me with the most confidence. The AWD comes with standard configuration of this car also make your icy driving safer.

Before I went to Millenium Toyota, I went to other dealer first and very disappointed due to irresponsible salesman. Later, I just stopped by Millenium Toyota and met D'Von. He is so nice to deal with and I had a very pleasant experience for a new Highlander purchase. Kevin

I love it! And have since I bought it a year ago. I loved my other three prior Subaru’s, but this one is overall my favorite because of all the room.

Highly recommended , Mr Cominsky & his service team go the extra mile to address your auto concerns . a very professional , efficient , courteous & respectful staff.

I love my 2018 Forester. I’m only 5’ and the seats are very comfortable. Don’t really like the Navigation - can’t seem to make it work. I have 2 friends who also have a Forester, all of ours are green. Only thing negative is the rear windshield wiper. When I go through the car wash, the portion that doesn’t move, pops off. I’ve lost one and now I have to put painters tape over it to keep it in place.
