Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Escondido, CA

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.

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

Highly recommend this dealership! Very helpful and knowledgeable. The sales experience was so easy going. I’m very impressed with the customer service. Thank you Quantum & Ruby!

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.

Asked them to look at car...they indicated AC was inop. Took few weeks to get it fixed and I bought elsewhere.

This car meets and exceeds all of my needs. I looked an numerous wagon-like models, because my old car was . VW Passat wagon. I looked at the Outback and the Forester, and immediately chose the Forester because of the feeling of space (more head room, bigger windows, and the moon roof).

Don Baldwin led me through the process of buying my 2005 Trailblazer. He was helpful and straightforward without the usual coercion that you encounter so often when buying a car. The car was in excellent condition, and I really enjoy driving it. I had one service issue early on, and Baldwin Auto Sales resolved it quickly and cheerfully. Don and John are great to do business with.

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 feel comfortable and safe in the car, great visibility. The car handles extremely well in the snow, probably improve even more when I get snow tires. I like the exterior styling and open visibility, all around.

The easiest and fastest I have ever bought a car. Brandon was fantastic and there was zero pressure to buy, and when we decided to, Mauricio had us out of the finance and signing portion inside of twenty minutes - forget spending multiple hours at the Ford dealer like I had previously. There were a couple very minor issues that came up after the purchase, and they had me taken care of in no time flat. Seriously - I drove to Escondido from Alpine, and I would 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 was looking for a GMC Sierra and decided to give this place a visit since I drive by all the time. My experience with Quantum was 1 of a kind, Emmanuel Morga was helpful with my car buying experience. He also let me know they have another car lot in case I wasn't satisfied with my truck but we worked out everything and I have about 4,000 miles on it and I use it for work. Ive recommended my family here too, my uncle bought a Toyota Tundra and my Cousin bought a corolla here too & both helped by Emmanuel Morga. Thank You Quantum Auto Sales!!!

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

I had the car I wanted transferred in and from start to end they kept me informed. The waiting period was a bit of a bummer, but knowing that my car was arriving made it worth the wait. Ryan was super he completed the transaction and put us in good hands. We had a minor defect with the windows but Ryan made sure it was taken care of . Overall we were quite pleased. We're definitely getting a second car with them . Lidia

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..?

Negotiated the deal with their Internet specialist, Jill Richardson who gave me a great deal on my 3.6 Outback Limited. I came in the next day because while we live near Palm Springs, the local dealer seems to know they have a captured customer base and sell for extreme profit. Jill was terrific and after a short conversation, she sent me an email with a firm offer which I accepted on the spot. It was much less than I had planned to pay (and much less than what I offered the Palm Springs dealer - who turned me down flat). We drove up to Carlsbad the next day and consummated the deal with the very active support of Bob Matson, who became our Bob Baker representative who stayed with us through delivery of the car, and the person who follows up with me regularly regarding our experience with the car, and if we have any questions or issues. Bob is another terrific Bob Baker customer representative who not only knows the cars inside and out, but also understands how the dealership business operates and he led us through that process professionally and competently. I recommend Bob to anyone who wants to purchase a car from Bob Baker VW & Subaru - Carlsbad as I do Jill Richardson, if you intend to pursue your purchase using the Internet, or if you are using a 'buying service' such as the one offered by CostCo. In summary, while Bob Baker is clearly a volume dealer, meaning they sell a lot of cars and price them right, versus a dealer that only sells a few and prices them accordingly (with a lot of profit built into the price), Baker also is laser focused on Customer Service. Everyone I worked with at Bob Baker were professional, competent, friendly and always concerned about how I felt and how we were doing as we completed the purchase process. So, go no further than Bob Baker Subaru of Carlsbad, and ask for Bob Matson or Jill Richardson.to get the best deal on a new or used Subaru!

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.

Very helpful, and fast process. They were able to get me test driving that night after work and let me come back the next morning to buy. They were very helpful and tried their best to get me the best deal possible. Would definitely recommend.

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 !
