Used Subaru Forester for Sale in East Peoria, IL

When I purchased my last vehicle nearly 10 years ago, I was so disappointed with my local treatment across Peoria, that I ended up going to Chicago to buy an SUV. Well... I’m here to announce that PEORIA IS BACK!! Green Chevrolet on north Knoxville in Peoria should be your first & last shopping destination. Recently...it was my PRIVILEGE and BLESSING to go through the entire purchase process at Green Chevrolet. I called and asked for their top senior salesman, and that’s when I met Mr. Bill Shaw. Within 3-short-hours...Bill quickly & courteously ushered me through my buying experience. From trade-in to purchase...a TOP-NOTCH encounter! I challenge you to go to Green Chevrolet...see Mr. Bill Shaw...make your best deal...and then shop it around town. You won’t find a better car dealership experience in central Illinois... I mean...for heavens sake...who has a complete breakfast-bar in their vehicle service waiting area? THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!

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.

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 waited a few weeks to write my review to let any unfair buyer's remorse pass. I have to give credit to my salesman: Bob Hunter was great to work with overall and should be credited with making the sale and follow-up service experience a better one. Bob reached out to me after my initial price request via email was turned down. He emailed and said they would be willing to work with me on the price I requested. That was good news! We decided to test drive on a Monday night, an hour before they closed. I made it clear to Bob that I was likely not purchasing that night. If all went well, I would be back the following day to make the purchase. We test drove the car, ended up really liking it, and Bob asked what it would take to drive home. I told him if they agreed to the price and concessions, I saw no reason we couldn't make it happen that night. We ended up agreeing to purchase the car that night for what we thought was a more than fair deal. I suppose any issues I had could be attributed to it being so close to their closing time. I could have done a better job of identifying issues on my end with more time. We agreed to the price, got approved for financing, and overall, it was a pretty painless experience. Two issues did arise afterwards, though. The first was we found out there was only one keyfob for the car. Admittedly, this was a personal pet peeve of the process. We called a Hyundai Dealer afterwards and got quoted over $400 for a new one. That definitely left a sour taste in my mouth and made a great deal...less great. In addition, we found after a day of driving, the driver's side door did not align properly and needed adjustment. These were things that I could have noted or remembered to ask about if I allowed myself more time. To my surprise, Bob called me today (over two weeks after purchase) and told me they located an additional keyfob for the SUV we purchased. If I were a betting man, he went out of his way to get one made. I don't know that for sure, but in the least, he secured a second key for us. This follow-up, a few weeks afterwards, definitely made the sale in my mind. We were happy with the price, but having one keyfob really sucks for a mixed-use family vehicle. If you are still wondering about the Driver's Door issue, I can credit them with at least looking at it for free. My only recommendation, and it is one that would apply to any dealer, is allow yourself ample time to look over the car before purchase and make note of all of those issues before purchasing. In the end, we're very happy buyers. We got the car we wanted, for the price we wanted, and a salesman that went out of his way to make things right after the fact when there was no additional incentive to do so (except maybe this review). I'd recommend Bob to friends and family for a great purchasing experience.

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.

Great buy! Mike Andersen was so unlike the stereotypical car salesman. We stopped by to look and had 20 min, he introduced-asked wants/needs, and did some homework for us... we came back a couple days later when I had more time after emailing my top 3 vehicles, he had them curbside and ready for us to look- we drove and loved. He hung back to give us space. Very good at reading his customer. I finally decided (Mike was so patient, he was so concerned about me making the best choice for the perfect balance of loving it/budget/long-term/practicality). Ultimately, I love my 2017 Subaru Crosstrek and Mike Andersen was like hanging with a friend while we made our big purchase. Thanks Mike for making it easy while we got a great deal and got in and out quickly.

I drove 175 miles to this dealership in hopes of a great deal. I bought a 2017 Ford Fusion Energi. The car had a few dings but mechanically it was perfect. Interior was perfect, just a small brushing and some rock chip. That was to be expected from a csr that had 15k miles on it. Talking to Randy he setup everything for me when i arrived. They offered me and my wife drinks then lunch if we wanted it. I like a dealership that lets you test drive a car without them riding along. Chris in financing got me a great rate and a super deal on an extended warranty. ill drive the 175 miles everytime to buy Fords from this dealership anyday.

They contacted me by phone and email. It just didn't work out time wise for me to get over to their dealership.

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 wife and I just purchased a used 2013 Chevy Silverado and was the best auto buying experience I have had.. ! Trent and Doug along with the sales manager went out of their way to help put me in a new truck, overall we definitely were lucky enough to get the A Team......... !

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.

An outstanding experience! They drove me 40 + miles round trip to return my rental unit and when I told them I had cousins in the area to see when the transaction was done the expedited the process all the while making certain I understood things and took the time to be sure I was comfortable with the deal. In 46 years of purchasing vehicles I have not been involved with a better situation than what Highway Chevrolet Buick GMC provided.

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..?

Today I signed the papers for my second lease with Mike Murphy Ford after meeting several times with Anthony Davis. Throughout both interactions (2015 and 2018), Anthony was professional, helpful, and encouraging: but NOT pressuring me to make a decision. For comparative purposes, I talked with two other local Ford dealers after my initial meeting with Anthony in early January 2018. The first sales person at Dealer #1 was - in a word - obnoxious, presenting the idea that anyone would be privileged to work with him. The second person (Dealer #2) was more professional; but after I met with him for two hours and given him a written list of questions I needed to have answered in order for me to make a decision, did not respond for more than 5 days. In that e-mail, he only addressed half of what I had asked. I sent him another e-mail containing the questions, and received no response. Anthony was very patient, answering all of my many questions in a timely manner; and did not pressure me to spend more than I can afford. It has been a pleasure to work with him.

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.

Mr. Applen was absolutely fantastic at getting everything all set for me to buy my first car. Couldn't have had a better experience. Thanks so much, sir!

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 !

A friend and I showed up to look at a used 09 Camry on the lot about 5 minutes before close, and Tim was as happy to see us then as he would have been 5 minutes after open. I'll absolutely recommend Mounce to anyone I know shopping for a car. Tim went above and beyond what I could have even imagined a salesman doing. Thanks so much for the quickest and easiest car buying experience I could have had. Tim's the best.

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
