Diamond Auto Sales review
The Diamond Auto staff were incredibly helpful,
The Diamond Auto staff were incredibly helpful, informative, efficient and honest with my purchase. I would absolutely do business with them in the future.
2018 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium Black Edition review
Great value considering the superior safety features, low
Great value considering the superior safety features, low maintenance and reliability. Rear wheel bearings have been replaced twice and just had the AC compressor and serpentine belt replaced. Albeit expensive repairs, all cars need something after the first 3 years. It's been 8 years and the car still run and drives like new.
There are 7 matching cars close to your year range.
