Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Cary, NC

We came to Johnson Subaru after seeing and hearing about the new Subaru Ascent. I previously had a 2006 Subaru Forester XT and felt that it was out of date with technology and features, so my next car was a 2012 Toyota Prius C. As my Toyota no longer met our family's current needs, we began our car search for an SUV that was safe, and as I put it, "Casey Proof" since I am spacey and clumsy. We were looking for a car that had new technology and safety features, and found that other brands (GMC, Buick, Chevy, etc.) only offered the features in the top trim and were out of our price range. We honestly came to the dealership thinking we would just do a quick test drive and cross Subaru off of our list, but surprisingly it turned out to be exactly the opposite. Bobby was super friendly and we let him know that we wouldn't be purchasing today, and didn't want to waste his time. He didn't seem to mind and said that he was excited to show me what the new Ascent is all about. We drove up to their huge lot and drove by all of their inventory. During the test drive, Bobby told us about the dealership, what they are known for, and never pressured us to purchase anything. Bobby was very knowledgeable and answered the 200 questions I had haha. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that all new 2019 Subaru vehicles have the standard safety and technology features that we were looking for. Subaru has come a long way since I last knew about them. We stopped our car search and knew that we wanted to purchase a Subaru from Bobby due to his exceptional customer service. We went back and forth with the Ascent and Forester, and ultimately ended up purchasing a Forester. We are so happy with the our new SUV. It is a very smooth drive, we feel safe, and we like all of the features with our phone apps, Apple Car Play, etc. We were also happy that the Johnson Subaru dealership is part of the Costco Auto program. It helped make negotiating easier, and we felt that we got a good deal. We feel that Bobby is very approachable and easy to ask questions to. I sometimes asked the same questions multiple times because I forgot the answer and he didn't make me feel silly. I left the dealership with all of my questions answered. I feel EDUCATED about the vehicle that I purchased, and I think that that is the most important thing!! :) I highly recommend working with Bobby for his honesty, knowledge, and personality.

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 !

My son was looking for a used Honda. Mehdi found him a 2012 Honda Accord at a very good price. My son even though a recent college grad was able to qualify for an excellent rate of interest on the financing and much better than I could get him and I work for a bank. Mehdi made the process very easy and pleasant and we were very pleased with the entire process. My husband found a truck there too and he wasn't even looking. We would definitely recommend Java Auto Sale. It was a great car buying experience.

This car is exactly what i was looking for. Despite the higher mileage, i am certain this car will last me the time that i need it to

virtually all much more expensive than this one for my kids, but I have never seen such an efficient process. No used car salesmen tricks, no attempt to sell junk add-ons. Fair price and good buying experience. Otto is the man.

I love my Subaru. I am so happy I bought it. I do have a couple of suggestions about something that is a problem. Changing the clock is a real challenge. I get my son, a computer network engineer, to do it for me and he even says he wonders why they made it so difficult. My neighbor said she looks up a video on YouTube to change hers. I need to check that out cause my needs changing right now and will not see my son for another month. Another thing is the odometer could be better to view at a glance. I don't want to figure out where 55 is when I am driving. I still have not figured out how to get my cell phone to work through the car.

I started looking for a new car in April. I had always been a "Honda person" but my husband bought a Subaru that???s been great, and he liked Mark Demsko the Johnson Subaru salesman. So I went to Johnson Subaru. Mark was not available that day so I spoke to Bobby Clamage. Bobby listened to what I wanted in a car and patiently showed me lots of models and features. Eventually we decided that the Forester suited me best but the 2018 model did not have Apple Car Play. Bobby knew it was getting redesigned and suggested that I wait a few months for the new 2019 model. I waited, looking around at other cars in the meantime. I went back this week, met Bobby and tentatively picked out a new 2019 Forester. When I returned for a second look at the car, Bobby was with another customer but Mark Demsko jumped right in and gave me a full tour of the vehicle. Afterwards Bobby, my husband and I finalized the decision. My husband and I are pleased with our purchase from Johnson Subaru. We felt that we received very thoughtful advice from Bobby and Mark on both the car and the options we selected. Even Stephanie Johns, who handled the financial end, was very nice and easy to work with. Although the car is still too new for me to give a real review, I want to say how happy we are that we dealt with Johnson Subaru. Bobby Clamage, Mark Demsko and Stephanie Johns made the process very easy.

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.

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.

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

My experience Saturday was awesome. Pretty much went to LOOK at vehicles and ended up leaving with one! My credit is terrible from past situations with an ex and I thought it was hopeless.. Keith at apex imports did his tricks and got me approved for my 2016 GMC Terrain. I am one very satisfied customer! :) thank you, Keith!

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.

I was really excited the new Apex location was open. But I was also worried with the store being new there would be some challenges but I was wrong. I called and set an appointment with a guy named Steve. He was awesome, very friendly and answered all the questions I had about the vehicle. He said the car would be ready when I arrived just check in at the front desk. The car was exactly what I was looking for, the buying process was quick and easy with no pressure to buy and I did not have to haggle over price! If you are in the market for a preowned I would definitely recommend you check them out. I love my new (to me ) corolla.

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.

I knew exactly the car I wanted to buy and how much I was comfortable spending. I was able to get exactly the car I wanted at the right price. To say I'm picky would be an understatement. Everyone at Hanna Imports - Apex, especially Keith, was very helpful and patient! Thank 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

I have bought a number of cars over the years and this was the best experience of all. They were professional and very efficient. Start to finish was less than 2 hrs!

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!

Great experience working with Damion at Sir Walter Chevrolet! Efficient and personable customer service. We didn't end up buying because we found another vehicle. But, again, great service.

Reliable, attractive, durable, safe, comfortable, all weather, slick design. All my cars have been from the Subaru family and all of my family has owned Subaru’s

We were in need of a car after someone hit my wife's SUV and totaled it. I searched on the internet, and saw a car I was interested in at Hannah's. We went down there and they were super busy, but they found the time to stop and help us by letting us test drive the car, and taking it to our mechanic for him to give us the thumbs up, or thumbs down. We had the car for over half a day, and Hannah's did not call or bug us. We got the thumbs up, and have now driven the car for over two years. The only problems we've had were with sensors, which couldn't have been seen during the inspection. We fixed the sensors, and the car rides like a dream. Thank you Hannah for your professionalism and service. We'll definitely shop there again.

Solid and reliable car. You can take this car anywhere, whether up to the mountains or off the beaten path. Its comfortable and named CCR small SUV champion. It succeeds by focusing on the fundamentals with a space-efficient design, large windows, and big square doors. The result is the easiest access and the best view out of almost any vehicle tested. It also has one of the roomiest rear seats with copious amounts of head and leg room. It adapts various fuel-efficient technologies, including replacing the antiquated four-speed automatic transmission with a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Forester delivers quicker acceleration, as well as a class-leading 26 mpg overall and 35 mpg on the highway in our tests making it a solid adventure SUV or commuter.

The car has met all my needs even in the winter snow and ice no problem with it at any time the six months i have owned. The forest er

I purchased a 2016 Honda Odyssey on September 30th. Crown had to competitively bid against (6)other Honda dealerships. Crown's internet sales manager Oliver George was the only bidder to submit his bid correctly the first time! When I bid a second time at end of the month Crown was the most competitive. When I arrived at dealership I met briefly with Oliver, I reviewed the car and it was exactly as I expected and worked perfectly. Lastly I met with the finance manager Mr Tran he was friendly and professional. I wanted to leave a deposit for vehicle and he insisted they would hold vehicle until I received my check from my bank the following day. I arrived the following day and the car was still there and detailed spotlessly. It took less than one hour to process the paperwork, get keys etc. Reggie did a great job getting me out the door in a timely manner so I could pick up my son! He took extra time to show my wife features of the vehicle later that night. Crown Honda did exactly what I requested and I got a great price. No pushy up selling just a straightforward bussiness transaction. Purchasing a new car is a major investment and I look forward to dealing with Crown Honda's team in the future. Steve & family

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.

These guys were SO good to me. The owner heard through a friend that I was without a car. I have a 7 year old nephew, that I'm raising, and was planning to use my tax returns to buy a cheap car. Steve, the owner of CBS Quality Cars in Durham, made the decision to GIVE me a 94' Honda Accord. Gave it to me, at no cost. He even paid for the tags. These people actually care about folks, which is uncommon. They were kind, friendly, and professional. Simon is awesome!!! Thank you to Steve, Jeff, Simon, and all the guys who helped get my car to me. I am forever grateful to you all. If you want to buy a car, you should go yo CBS Quality Cars in Durham! They are the best!!

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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..?

We went to Sanford Honda to look at a car we found online. Jerrod was waiting for us outside and had the car pulled up under the shade to get us out of the heat! He was very nice and not pushy at all. After test driving the original car we came to see we test drove a newer one. He was fast with getting the keys for us and wasn't being pushy at all (which I greatly value and appreciate!). They had Christian music playing in the dealership which I loved. Very calm environment and good experience working with Jerrod!

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.
