Used 2020 Subaru Forester for Sale in Monroeville, PA

Thank you to Jaison and CarSense for a great car buying experience. I loved how at ease I was made to feel. I saw a car on the website. I called and told them I'd be in that evening. Going in I was expecting the typical runaround, questions, comments, and 5 minute test drive with some guy riding with me telling me things I already knew. Instead Jaison met me at the door, handed me the keys, and said "Go see if if ya like it!" No pressure, and when I said let's do it, he walked us thru the paperwork. Easy a pie. Thanks again Jaison. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

My husband told me about Carvana from a commercial ad he heard/saw. I laughed about it and said 'yah right, there's gotta be a hitch somewhere'. A few weeks later, he brought up Carvana again....curious, I decided to check it out online. The key words there was 'check it out'. I ended up buying a vehicle a couple hours later. Yeup, it was just like that. No hassle, no hidden costs or agendas. So after reviewing everything on the site, I started looking at minivans....I started falling in love with minivans....I started buying minivans....all through carvana. Once I locked in the one I wanted, I went through the credit process, documentation process, and pick up date (I chose pick up - because at this point, I still felt a little 'leary' about the whole deal'. It was so simple, and so honest, and so real. Over the course of the next 24 hours, all my submitted documents were approved and we just had two days to go to pick up the new mininvan. When we got to the store, it's not like a dealership with a lot, but it had three beautiful, well lit, very clean, showroom like bays that your vehicle is sitting in for your to do a complete inspection of it. It was very classy. Please note, our particular location does not have the car vending machine just yet. After passing our over check, I hopped in the car and drove it 65 miles home. She ran like a charm and I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep her not. At day 3, although I loved her, she didn't have all the bells and whistles I truly wanted so that evening, I was back on the Carvana site, shopping for a replacement minivan....it's so easy to do when it gives you results based on your financial settings....I found the new 'her' a few hours later. I ordered her up and made the quick call explaining I was swapping and chose to have the vehicle delivered instead of going there to save time. The whole swap process took 2 days...they pulled up right to my house with my next new minivan. In my eyes, she was perfect, but I found a flaw before she was even off the truck. There was a huge bolt in the back tire. I was so disappointed. But Carvana took care of that so amazingly over the top.....they still brought her off the truck so I can check out the interior, test drive it, etc. We found a few more things that we felt should be fixed...minor things. Carvana took note of the items, and took the vehicle back on the truck but promised me (because I really wanted her that day) they would bring her back with a new tire....they kept their promise, three hours later she was back with a brand new tire, not one, but TWO brand new back tires. And they put an extra Carvana cup in the car for me. They swapped the minivans and off the old one went and there I sat with the new one. Smile ear to ear. I worked with Carvana on 6 items that we believed needed repair before committing to keep the vehicle. Carvana went above and beyond. I got an estimate for the repairs at a local shop, Carvana approved it, and within a few weeks, all repairs were completed through Carvana and I have the perfect vehicle, no hassle, no hidden agendas. And every person I dealt with on the phone or in person were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND JUST THE BEST!! My Carvana experience was the absolute best. I will never go back to buying a car the old 'car dealership' way. And ironically, we had bought our other vehicle from a dealership just 3 months before being introduced to Carvana. I will give one warning about buying a vehicle through Carvana this way....it can be addicting..lol :-) Yes, I still shop Carvana cars every now and then....I don't even need a car, I just love seeing what Carvana has because it was sooo simple :-) Thank you Carvana for a trememdously wonderful experience.

I was tired of the shopping experience and liked the no nonsense feel of CarSense. I worked with JEFF who went above and beyond to listen my wish lish, meet my requests, and work around my atypical schedule. He was both polite and knowledgeable without being pushy. The lot and cars are spotless and well organized. Pricing is competitive and the standard warranties a major bonus. In the end I decided on a vehicle/color combination they did not have in stock. I didn't buy this time, but there are plenty of vehicles in my future and I will start with CarSense from here on out. They eliminate all of the exasperating aspects of auto shopping.

FROM BEGINNING TO END THE SERVICE AND HELPFULLNESS I RECEIVED FROM BOWSER TEAM WAS A-1

Monday, March 7, my Altima was serviced because of the notice I had received about the hood latch may be defected. Cochran service people and sales people are ALWAYS very helpful. I shall return soon for a State inspection and make arrangements for a new vehicle.

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 came into #1 Cochran Subaru in Monroeville with a trade that I was upside down in payments. My Sales Consultant Harry "Good News" Gossnell was phenomenal. He was very through with describing the features and functionality of our future car, and at the same time had financing running numbers and working on our best deal for my trade and incentives. Harry has made the "dealership" car buying experience an excellent one (honestly, not getting paid to write this review). I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and feel I was well taken care of and was provided all of the information I requested in a timely manner. I highly recommend Harry Gossnell and #1 Cochran Subaru of Monroeville!!! Thank you again!

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 went to #1 Cochran Subaru after I saw 3 cars I was interest in. When I arrived I was greeted by Harry Gosnell. I thought what my terms for a new car were impossible. I explained to Harry the amount I wanted to stay below and that I had no money for a down payment and will just be using my car as a trade in. Again, I thought my terms were impossible. He sat me down and we discussed the 3 cars I was interest in and options for paying. We were able to eliminate 1 car based off of that information. He then showed me the specs for the 2 cars I was considering and I chose a car to test drive. This was the 3rd car I would be buying new. I have NEVER had a test drive as good as the one Harry gave me. He made sure I was able to experience all the features the car had. Once we got back we drove up to the other car and I immediately knew I did not want to look at the other car. We sat back down to start the paper work and I began to have a ton of anxiety about what my payments would be and my options would be. Harry was so thorough about my options and I decided to lease. I have never leased a car and I always thought that it was not economical but he explained that now a days leading is different and it is much more common and in the buyers favor now. We completed the paperwork and he came back to tell me what they would give me for my trade in. #1 Cochran Subaru was more than generous with what they offered me. After that he came back with my payment option for leasing. Again I thought my terms were impossible and I never told Harry my exact terms just that I wanted to stay a certain dollar amount which was the max amount I could afford and I really didn???t want anything that high. Harry came back with exactly almost to the dollar what would be my perfect terms. I was thrilled. I also want to note that I did not want to get a new car at all. I loved my 2009 Subaru Impreza but it was on its last leg so I was very unhappy about having to get a new car. From the moment I walked in and met Harry I was no longer unhappy about getting a new but now was extremely excited. If you are in the market for a new car and you think your terms maybe impossible to meet I can simply tell you not to worry at all and see Harry Gosnell at #1 Cochran Subaru and he can make anything work for you.

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

This is the third vehicle we have bought at this dealership over the years, all sold to us by Harry Gosnell. Cochran is fortunate to have Harry on their sales staff! He is knowledgeable, friendly, courteous -- all of those qualities to a high degree but especially knowledgeable. He's been with the company for a long time and brings everything he knows about Subarus and the world of car buying to the discussion. #1 Cochran Subaru is an excellent dealership, and Harry is an excellent representative for them. We also talked with Chris Grobmyer this time when paying for the car. He is also very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Harry and Chris made the car buying experience not only painless but truly enjoyable. The whole experience was a pleasure and I love my new car!

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 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.

FROM BEGINNING TO END THE SERVICE AND HELPFULLNESS I RECEIVED FROM BOWSER TEAM WAS A-1

I like this vehicle except for the engine shutting off when stopped. it does have an override switch, but if I forget to set it the engine will automatically shut off. that's the only thing I don't like about this car.

Let me start by saying that I ended up deferring a purchase from Lexus of North Hills (or anyone else). Everyone at Lexus of North Hills made us feel welcome and everyone was friendly. When I first reached out about a specific automobile, Darlene immediately returned my call. I told her that I lived quite a ways from the dealership and buying the particular car would be an extravagance, one I could afford, but might not choose to. That makes Darlene's performance even more word-worthy. From my first interaction with Darlene, she was friendly, attentive, and professional. She put our needs and requirements ahead of any agenda she might have. Whether by telephone, text, or face-to-face, she was shoulder-to-shoulder, working to understand our situation, dealing with test drive schedules and re-schedules. She was a facilitator nudging me to overcome inertia and make a hard and expensive decision, but never making me feel pressured. She would give me whatever information I requested and then more. Ultimately, as I explained to her during our first call, the car was a "want", not a "need". I still want it, but circumstances require me to wait until I need it. When I do, I will be back talking to Darlene.

I like all the safety features. That's what sold me on the car. And it is excellent for the height challenged people. Very comfortable and easy infotainment center.

Over the years me and my family members have purchased many and I do mean many i.e. 17 vehicles from Bowser. This isn't to say bowser has the best deals because in the past when I compared I could usually get the same or better price at another dealership. However, if you're looking for a dealership with great service people as I do then Bowser is definitely the one. I myself have purchased 7 Buicks from Bowser and for one main reason Dave Berger and his GM mechanics are the best. I know without a doubt when Dave tells me I need a repair then I need a repair and his people like Scot so a fantastic job. Most recently, I purchased a Hyundai Sonata for my wife and the Hyundai department with Bill Mehring seems to be the same quality service department. The bottom line if you're looking for price, go out and shop; however, if you want the best trustworthy service you can't go wrong with Bowser. If you looking for a Buick I would suggest you introduce yourself to Dave Berger in the service department and establish a relationship because in all my years of owning vehicles Dave and his staff are some of the best.

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

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 NISSAN MURANO. AFTER A FEW MONTHS I NOTICED IT HAD BEEN WRECKED AND THE PAINT WAS CHIPPING AND RUST WAS ALREADY SHOWING. I TALKED TO JUSTIN , WHO HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACCIDENT AND HAD ME BRING THE CAR IN. THEY TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING AND GAVE ME A LOANER TO DRIVE. THE WORKMANSHIP WAS EXCELLENT AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS.. I WOULD DEFINETLY DO BUSINESS HERE AGAIN.. CJ

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.

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.

#1 Cochran Subaru was excellent! We had never dealt with them before, but they were recommended by a relative. Harry, our sales rep, was friendly and personable, taking our expressed needs into consideration. He patiently worked with us to get us a vehicle and a payment plan that we were pleased with! Plus Chris in financing was able to process the paperwork quickly to get us on our way in our new Forester. Definitely the best car buying experience we???ve ever had!

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.

Mr. Berger and Mr. Rimsky answered all my questions and had my truck done on time. Mr. Berger even called the body shop for me to discuss a rust spot that was coming back that had been taken care of in September 2015.

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.

I was referred to Bowser Hyundai by a dear friend who was also a satisfied customer. My communication with Lorri Z., Greg P., and Marc M. was the best buying experience I've ever encountered. They were very professional, no pressure AT ALL to buy, patient and accommodating in every way. The reviews I read about the dealership and others experiences also lead me in the direction of Bowser. I will definitely refer people whom I may encounter looking to purchase a car to give Bowser dealership a chance.

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.
