Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Buford, GA

I made 7:30a appt for oil change and trim replacement for 2012 Tundra. Arrived on time and was taken in within acceptable 5-10 minutes. Parts assistant found tailgate trim piece in stock and notified service assistant. Oil change and trim replacement performed in one hour. No labor charge for quick swap-in of trim. Check out was fast. *Chik-Fil-A sells food and drinks here. I ordered a chicken biscuit and orange juice. Dealer transport van took me to local Starbucks. Appointment was uneventful and completed reasonably quick.

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 a 2016 XC90 and was hearing a clicking-creaking noise when making turns. I went to Northpoint Volvo (current dealer at the time) several times to correct this and they made me feel like I was an idiot and told me it was just the brakes and I had to live with it. Not what I would expect to hear from a service provider for a $55k+ car still under factory warranty!! One day I was looking at the new XC60 at Jim Ellis Volvo in Buford. When I mentioned this same issue to the awesome Salesman I was working with (Louis Dymant), he immediately introduced me to Corey Wright in their Service department and asked him to help me. After an extensive and through review of my vehicle, they finally discovered the issue and made the necessary repairs (ALL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!!!). Now my XC90 sounds smooth and quiet around turns, as I would expect it be! Corey and the amazing Volvo technicians at Jim Ellis Volvo Buford made me like family the entire time! So glad to have fond a new home to take care of my beautiful XC90 (what an amazing vehicle!)! Finally found a car dealer I can trust!!

Just bought a new to me Forester and I couldn't be happier. Subaru hasn't let me down yet...this is my 3rd one and I can't imagine driving anything else. It's safe, reliable and sporty!

Our experience with the Lou Sobh dealership of Cumming was exceptionally awesome. Our salesman, Tim Tyler was exceptional, and he was like having a family member with us during the process. Even though it was his first day there, he knew all about the vehicles and his suggestions on which vehicle would suit us better was just great. He helped us find the perfect vehicle. We also met the general manager, Mitch, and he made us feel even more at home. Also the financial person, and I don't remember his name, was so cheerful and upbeat and he also made us feel at home. We were just looking at SUVs and had no intention of buying one that day. We had also been to other dealerships and left. We had such a wonderful experience and was given the deal we wanted that we looked no further and bought a Sorento LX. Finally, all I can say is GO LOU SOBH KIA of Cumming. You are the best.

Excellent performer in bad weather. Has a terrific ride & it is very comfortable on long trips & can swallows all your gear. This is my go to vehicle for road trips

This is a great vehicle and we're so glad that we purchased one. We've had a couple of minor things go wrong that should not have such as the drivers side visor starting to squeak loudly. All said we are very happy with this car. On the down side there is now standard technology out there that is not available. Automatic wipers are missing and items like remote start and subaru's safety and security package are extra when Honda includes them both free. But my biggest issue is not the car it's that there is no convenient dealersl or service anywhere near me. The nearest service is 45 minutes away. The next car will have to be available locally.

Wanting something all wheel drive naturally leads you to Subaru. If you're looking for something with some off road capabilities but also a steady commuter with some room to spare, the Forester is the sweet spot. The 2019 generation Foresters are great, but they lack the punch of the older turbo options. With the same 250+ HP, 258 lb-ft torque engine in the WRX, the 2.0 L turbo shaves off over 2 seconds from the 0-60 time of the standard 2.5i engine. And it's noticeable. It gets knocked for being paired to CVT but I find it to be smooth and has great throttle response in Sport mode. Off road and in snow it does really well and lives up to the hype. A lot of reviews don't consider the Forester to be that stylish on the exterior, but I think that's ultimately a matter of preference. I find the exterior to be simple but muscular with the XT having a meaner front end. Inside there are some good upgrades which finally make the Forester feel a bit more luxury including leather seats and accents, a quieter interior and a decent sound system. The Harmon/Kardon sound system still leaves a lot to be desired, however. It's very bass heavy without a lot of refinement. Overall the Forester XT with Touring trim offers some nice amenities with still staying true to the rugged nature Subaru is known for. Pros: fun to drive (3 driving modes, paddle shifters), great visibility, great off road capabilities, roomy back seat and trunk, giant sunroof Cons: lower gas mileage, premium fuel recommended, lack of interior refinement, weak infotainment system

Can’t beat the great safety features for long commutes or long trips! This is a great family car or a first car for teenage drivers.

Full disclosure: My girlfriend owns it, but I drive it a lot. I find the 2017 Forester to be a pretty decent small SUV. I find it comfortable and fairly well-designed. I'm not a huge fan of CVTs but find it has enough pep when I need it. The dash is fairly well-organized and all critical controls are knobs and buttons rather than buried in the touch screen like some cars. A few things could be slightly better organized but these are minor details. The Subaru infotainment system is pretty lacking and the touch screen is buggy sometimes. They're behind the curve on this. But overall it's a decent car even if I'd like it more with a 6 speed manual.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The answered all of my questions and made me feel secure about my selection.

This model of subi has been great, outside of the factory warranty 2.5L engine replacement. Quick and responsive with the 5 speed. The automatic leaves a bit to be desired. Almost 9 inches of ground clearance is Jeep territory and the AWD system inspires confidence in rain, snow and mud.

Went to Duluth Auto Exchange with my wife to look at a few vehicles, the wife is VERY picky... as she should be but she actually found not only ONE but FIVE vehicles she fell in love with we ended up leaving with a 2009 Tahoe that was actually almost done the way she wanted (22" rims, lights, DVD player, chrome trim, etc) which in the long run saved me a bit of money and most ... TIME!!! Thank you so much for the help and the great service guys!!!

Subaru made this car to last! I expect to have it another 10 years. Buy a used one if you can find one. Not as good gas mileage as the newer ones but solidly built

I purchased my Jeep here & the service levels have always been great. Everyone is professsional & is quick to help. I brought the Jeep in for an oil change (which was covered under warranty) & asked for a tire rotation which was a little pricey ($29) & to change the air filter ($50!). $50 for an air filter change is too much for a product that costs $18 and took me, someone with an average level of car exp, around 15 minutes to change it myself. Which I happily did. Main point is that I would absolutely return to purchase another vehicle here in the future but once the warranty expires y???all have to have competitive prices for me to bring the Jeep for normal maintenance service. I get it, your a dealership, but maybe some costs need to be reviewed/adjusted in order to bring in more regular maintenance customers.

Dream car.love it .plenty of space, comfortable, powerful vehicle as well. I see my self recommending the same vehicle to other ppeople as well.why not..?

A bit of a drive for an oil change/tire rotation BUT I am never disappointed by this dealership???s customer service and service department. They gave me 50% off with a Back to School promotion, took me on in when ???Oops, my appointment is for tomorrow?!??? 😬, washed my car AND my rubber mats and had me out the door in about an hour. #GwinnettSubaru #BestSubaruDealershipinGeorgia

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.

After meticulously searching through vehicles and many dealerships, I found the vehicle calling my name at ALM on 05/25. Anxiously, I went to the dealership that same day, met with sales lady Shanta who was absolutely AMAZING throughout the entire process :-)....she restored my faith in car salesmen again :-) She pulled up the vehicle I inquired about, we went for a test drive and I fell in love with the vehicle, but what was even more enjoyable about my car buying experience, is that Shanta wasn't being too aggressive or trying to get me to buy a car right then, and she actually advised me to sleep on my thoughts and let her know whatever I decide. Well...later that day, I made my decision, called Shanta and told her that I'm ready to make my purchase. She sent me the link to fill out the application, once I completed the application, I went back to the dealership the next day and was trading in my old car and driving away in my new Lexus in about 1.5hr and that is how I LOVE doing business. ALM has gained a new loyal customer. THANKS SO MUCH SHANTA for your professionalism, honesty, and awesome customer service :-)

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.

From first contact with the dealership GM, all the way through to vehicle purchase, delivery and pickup, the experience was the most pleasant, professional, attentive and thorough I have ever had. Specifically, Ms. Kessler, Ms. Lewallen and Mr. Wilhite presented the truest expression of "team concept" when it came to handling my initial query, all the way through to purchase. This is the second Subaru purchased through Subaru of Gwinnett, and I am quite certain it will not be the last. I would be happy to go into greater detail about the overall OUTSTANDING experience via email or by calling me at 973 271 8815. JOB WELL DONE, Ms. Kessler and Team. Keep doing what you are doing! :-) Joe Donohue April 3, 2017

This car is reliable, sturdy, comfortable and has many safety features. It still looks and drives like new after 2 years . Low maintenance and great gas mileage !

Came into Subaru of Gwinnett for routine service on my 2017 Outback which I purchased from Subaru of Gwinnett 11/29/16. The Ascent car caught my eye and Mike Quigley in sales let me test drive the car, which I loved. Mike is very knowledgeable and no pressure sales tactics. I thought on it overnight and came in to buy it on Tuesday. I very much enjoyed the sale and know Mike will help with any questions I might have in future. The financial part went smooth with Lance Willhite and everything was explained so I didn???t have any questions. I???m so glad Herb Hoffman, manager set me up with the right people, it was such a pleasure buying this car. to finish my wonderful experience Alyssa Elery in service had a hitch installed and made sure everything was taken care of properly. she has always done a great job, I would not go to any other dealer.

I like the comfort and the visibility of this car. All who have ridden in it feel that it’s comfortable too. Love the eyesight package which gives warnings regarding blind spots and so forth. Find it very easy to parallel park. My only complaint is that the audio controls aren’t intuitive to use, at least for me.

AS always Kyle and the Service Department came through for me in a pinch. I had previously bought my last set of tires at a different tire shop and when they would not stand by their Road Hazzard Replacement of my tires, Kyle came to my rescue along with the other service team members to get me into the shop right at 6pm as they were closing and replaced all 4 of my tires on my 2014 Forrester. They even ordered my husbands new tires for his Outback and fixed him up as well that week. I can't say enough about the quality of service I get here especiall for my favorite service person Kyle!!!

It has all the imenities I was looking for. Plus many more. It has a lot of leg room. Storage by the spare tire. I love the way the suv looks.

Highly attentive team of specialists, very efficient. My wait time was very short, shown into a owners coffee/tea room whilst service was performed.. Also included a car wash.. would recommend!👍👍

Excellent car for safety and performance. A repeat buyer. Subaru has added latest safety features like Blind Spot Monitor, RAB, Land Departure warning and Excelent Sound System.

Great dependable cars...I have one with 265K on it and as soon as I have the radiator replaced I will give to the grandkids. Comment

Jody was an absolute delight to work with! I have been a Lexus customer since 2004 and recently becoming a mommy, I needed to upgrade into an SUV. Jody was very attentive, compassionate, and empathized to my specific needs. She was not your cliche "pushy car salesman (woman) who often doesn't listen or care what you want. Months before, I was distraught when I was told by a cliche car salesman to forget about Lexus and to go look at a Toyota Rav 4. Lexus reached back out to me and I was introduced to Jody, who remedied my situation. She got me into a 2018 NX 300 caviar colored with red leather interior!!! It gave me a sports package feel and made me feel like I was living it up with my toddler in the backseat. We are riding in style! Jody also made sure I had plenty to eat every time I came in; she even got me pizza! I highly recommend Jody if you're looking for a Lexus, laughs, and an unparalleled client service.

This car its all we were expecting. A lot of space in the back . Its perfect for families. I just loved everything off it.

This was the 3rd car I have purchased at Jim Ellis in the past 2.5-3 years ( New 2016 Vette, Certified Used 2014 Suburban, and now 2018 Volt .. 2nd one) and typically I'll work out the deal before I walk in the door. This car was a little different given the fact that the car had to be sourced from Alabama and the timing didn't allow for that. I felt like I got a taste of the typical back and forth negotiation plus hang around and wait car buying experience (didn't experience at all with my other 2 purchases). Not a bad experience by any means and Reggie is always a pleasure to work with. I had a question around the $7,500 EV tax incentive and how it was applied to the leasing numbers that I couldn't get a straight answer on. From researching after the fact, it clearly states that the finance company gets the incentive if the vehicle is leased and not that I can do anything about it now, but I wonder if GM Financial applied it or not. On my last Volt lease the MSRP was more than this one, same terms were applied (39 months, 12K miles, $2-$3K down) and my monthly payment ,even with the insane (at the time) GA ad valorem tax added, was less than this lease. The residual was higher (around $21K) but I also remember the 2014 losing a TON of value and only being worth around $13K when the lease was up so maybe GM learned their lesson from the last round of leases. Regardless, overall it was an excellent buying experience and I'll continue to recommend and refer my friends to Reggie. Great Job!

Excellent vision in all directions from the Forester. We like the no non-sense styling of the Touring 2.5i. Easy to get into and out of which matters if getting a few years on you. Very good gas mileage and handling with excellent performance. The AWD is certainly one of many key selling points. Fit and finish is excellent with very good reliability so far. We think it is a excellent SUV and would definitely purchase another Subaru SUV if needed.

My wife and I drove 360 miles to Sandy Springs, GA to buy a used convertible from Gravity Auto that we saw on line. The car was in great condition and was just as advertised, however in the end, it didn't fit our needs. While there, we looked around and we saw another convertible (2007) that had just come in and was not ready to be sold. We loved it immediately. Because we had come so far the Sales Manager gave us a good price and promised to inspect the vehicle and fix anything that needed attention. We put down a deposit and left. When I went back several days later to pick up the car it was immaculate. I looked over the vehicle and I was satisfied with the condition of the car, inside and out. They fixed every little thing I asked for. The Manager had told me that he would not let the vehicle leave the lot until I was satisfied. I was. I drove the vehicle 360 miles home and it purred like a kitten, everything worked and I am completely satisfied. We enjoyed working with the friendly sales team and with Mike, the Finance Director who did a great job. Thanks to everyone.

Have owned 2 Volvos and the company lost it's spark. Subaru has that spot in my heart now. From the 5 star crash rating (except front passenger seat is 4 star) to great reliability records and good tech stuff I am thrilled.
