Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Fairfax, VA

I and my wife recent purchased a 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL 600 Roadster from Certified Car Center in Fairfax, VA. I have never been too fond of the car buying experience and anticipated much of the same during this experience. I expected, the car I was interested in to be a car to lure me into the showroom, to divert my attention to a more expensive car. I expected the sales person to be and pushy and sales motivated. I thought any amount I offered as a down payment would not be enough, and I would need hundreds of more dollars to make the deal go through. This is what I expected because this is the experience I have had in the past with many other car dealers. However, Certified Car Center was the opposite of any of my previous experiences. When we arrived at the lot, the car was parked in front of the office, open, running, and ready for our inspection. The sales person (Fernando) was courteous and professional. He greeted wife and me, introduced himself, showed us around the car and then he did something unexpected. He said, "The key is in the car, look it over, and take it for a drive, take your time." Then he left wife and me to take our time inspecting the car and after putting on dealer plates, we took the care for a test drive, taking our time to enjoy driving the vehicle. Upon returning, we filled out the paperwork and applied for financing and offered $1,000 as a down payment. To our amazement, all was acceptable, and we finished with the documents, and temporary registration in less than four hours, start to finish. We have brought many cars from dealers over our 32-year marriage, and all have been a terrible day long, exhausting experiences. Our experience with Certified Car Center was the only experience we truly enjoyed and would recommend them to all family and friends as the best car buying experience we had. With their focus on outstanding customer service, fast and efficient financing, and a large selection of quality cars and trucks, I will be back to them to purchase my next vehicle because I enjoyed the experience and appreciate their customer service. Sincerely Wm. & Evelyn Quarles

I will start by saying my scenario is one that no dealer would find ideal, and any other dealer would have probably told me "tough luck", not at Rosenthal Fairfax Honda. For this reason, I HIGHLY recommend them as THE dealer to go to. I came to Rosenthal Fairfax Honda to purchase two used vehicles, for my wife and myself, and I have never received such great service as I did here. I had two vehicles to trade in, and they gave very fair and reasonable trade in values on both vehicles. During the whole process they made sure I was comfortable, and that I liked the vehicles. My salesperson, Aladdin Faruque, was very accommodating and wanted to make sure I was completely satisfied. I never at any time felt hurried or pushed. His level of professionalism and courtesy is exactly what you would look for in a salesperson. Here is where I feel this particular dealer shines above the rest. To give some background, I live in Maryland, and this dealer is of course in Virginia. So any vehicle purchased out of state must go through Maryland State Inspection. Well, the first vehicle purchased, passed the inspection after some minor issues. The second vehicle failed, and for a very costly repair. I contacted the dealer and informed them of the situation, not expecting much. To my surprise, they offered to complete the repair at their facility and to bring it in, I was even given a loaner vehicle to drive in the meantime. Well, after a few replacement parts, it turns out that there were more components that would need to be replaced, and even after that, there was no guarantee this would resolve the issue ($4,000+ in repairs). They knew I had to young daughters, and with safety being an issue, they insisted on not continuing any further with the vehicle. I loved the vehicle, and persisted on just fixing the issue, and even offered to pay half just to get the vehicle back. Ivan Micheletti and David Dragelin, the Pre-Owned Directors, were willing to work with me, but were very insistent that I pick another vehicle. By this time about 3 weeks had passed, and they were still willing to switch me out to another vehicle. I spent a good amount of time test driving other vehicles, but could not find one that I liked. Then Ivan made me an offer that completely caught me off guard. There was one vehicle there that I did see in their inventory that I liked, however it was out of my price range. Ivan being very understanding of my situation, offered me this vehicle at a price below market value, knowing he could get more for it, just to help me out. Ultimately, this vehicle was a little newer, had lower mileage and is a much nicer vehicle altogether. This vehicle passed the inspection, and I could not be happier to finally have a vehicle again. Basically, to sum up my long post, Rosenthal Fairfax Honda has been the BEST dealer BY FAR that I have ever dealt with in my life. If you are looking for a vehicle, new or used, come here FIRST. Ask for Aladdin Faruque and you'll have the experience you've been looking for. If you get the chance to work with Ivan Micheletti or Dave Dragelin, you'll see what i'm talking about. Of course, this is a dealer, and you have to be reasonable, but you'd be hard-pressed to find this kind of service anywhere else these days. Buy from Rosenthal Fairfax Honda, and leave happy.

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).

Amazing experience from start to finish. Walter made the whole process seamless. Definitely appreciated his honesty and his ability to answer all of our questions! Highly recommend these guys!

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

Charles Haddon greeted us and made the whole buying experience one of the best I've had. Love the fact I didn't get the full court press from the prototypical car salesman. Charles was very professional and gave me his undivided attention with any questions I had. Never applied any undo pressure and let me take my time making a decision. Once we decided to buy the car, David Jennings made the out processing very painless and extremely fast. Would highly recommend!

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.

I purchased a used 2015 BMW X5 from the pre-owned car lot at Mercedes Benz of Chantilly from Mariela Rodriguez. I usually do not like purchasing anything from dealerships because I don’t respond well to high pressure sales. Now my experience with Mariela at Mercedes Benz of Chantilly was fantastic. She was very informative and helpful. In addition, she was even better at the after sales service. She followed up to a few items that I had questions and concerns about. She was very responsive and immediately address all my concerns. I also had a Very good experience with the finance manager (Mohammed). He was very efficient and informative but not pushy. He stayed late in the evening well beyond his working hours to help me finalize by purchase. I would recommend for any person looking for great value and excellent service to visit this team and ask for Mariela

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 came here looking to replace my 2002 Cebu Trailblazer with a 4Runner that they had on the lot. The salesperson I dealt with was Frankie Cox. She was professional with a great bubbly personality and made my car buying experience pleasant and enjoyable.

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.

Sales and service was excellent. I was extremely satisfied. Before and after sales, all issues addressed. Yes I would recommed this dealership to my friends. Stop in and check the out.

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

Worked with Zee. He had a basic approach..."Let the car sell itself". He allowed my 18 year old son, and myself, fiddle around, purposely stall the car to check the clutch, and test drive without being anywhere around. "Just come for me when you're finished". The car was in great shape and cleaned up both inside and out; including the engine compartment. Great experience. Only comment would be ....... provided only one key/FOB. Turns out additional $230 to get a second Key from Mazda. Would be nice if TradeMark would take care of this courtesy prior to the sale.

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

Just Purchased my VW Passat from Jonathan at Capital Auto Sales. They allowed me to take car to my own trusted mechanic for pre purchase inspection and it all checked well. Thank you guys for making my buying experience a pleasure.

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.

I bought a 2007 Honda Civic from beyond motors. It was such a very easy process. As soon as I put in the loan application, beyond motors called me to schedule a test drive. The dealer I met there was very helpful, professional and polite, knew what he was doing. I am really happy with my car which is running fine. I really enjoyed the test driving. The dealer explained me every single specs and features of the car. He is a very detailed oriented person. He did an outstanding job through this process. Thanks for the service.

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.

Jesse Segovia is an outstanding Fitzgerald representative. I just moved to the area, and the service he provided was superior to where I bought my Hyundai. I now look forward to service I can trust.

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.

Bought a 2014 Lexus RX350. Not only were the vehicle prices very good but the customer service was great. The salesperson Jay was very helpful and knowledgeable about the vehicle. There were some options that I had no knowledge of and Jay was able to show me. He was polite and was not pushing, took me a few days to make a decision but he was always in contact with me. Great place to purchase used vehicles and I will be a customer for life.

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.

David was excellent!!! The whole buying process took no more than 1 hour! No pressure...no drama...just fair business. I'm 90% sure that my next car purchase will be from Premier!

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 !

Excellent service, great vehicle. JJ was fabulous to deal with. Thanks Premier Automotive for the wonderful experience. I will definitely be returning to purchase my next vehicle.

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!

I purchased my new Subaru Forester in December 2015. Sales was great, not pushy, gave me a fair trade on an aging 2005 Pontiac Vibe and the no haggle price on the Forester. Service experience also great. I have been back 3x for service or repairs. Most recently Friday, 6/30/17, with Donnie V. The service and show room are under construction but the waiting trailers are comfortable, air conditioned and have bathrooms available (no porta-john). Complimentary coffee, tea and light snacks also available. The staff as always was friendly and knowledgeable. I can't wait to see the results of the construction for both service and show room areas. I'm sure it will be beautiful.

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..?

About 3 months ago, I bought a car from Maurice at AMG and had a great experience. We didn’t get to the dealership until about fifteen minutes after their posted closing hours and expected to just see the car from a distance. However, Maurice who had just finished locking up, took the time to show us where the car, a 2015 Lexus IS250, was parked and to talk to us about it. We promised to come back the next day for a test drive. We felt that Maurice was very professional and friendly and was really knowledgeable about the cars on the lot. From our first interaction with him to our final dealings with the paperwork it was a positive experience. We had minor concerns (slight discoloration on the steering wheel, and only one key for the car) but both were addressed. Maurice scheduled us with their upholsterer to make repairs to the steering wheel and was able to help us coordinate with a key maker who provided same day service. We were very happy with Maurice and AMG and they will definitely see us again when it’s time for our next car purchase.

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.

My car was almost at 120,000 miles and about to get really expensive for me. I'm a single mother, live paycheck to paycheck, living in a very expensive northern va county. I had no idea what I was going to do about the expenses of my car. I received a flyer in the mail for KIA, about a sale they were having. On a whim, I decided to inquire. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had with getting into a new car. Great customer service. David Perez really helped me out and was very patient with me, not "pushy" at all like other car salesman that I've dealt with. He explained everything thoroughly to me and really helped me out! I would recommend anyone to go to DULLES MOTORCARS LEESBURG!!

I had an appointment for servicing. I was immediately checked in and greeted by Fitz. Everyone was nice and polite. A good experience overall. Thanks

I was pleased that the salesman and the manager at Auto Market both treated us with respect, honesty, and a high level of service.

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.

This was THE VERY BEST car buying experience I've ever had! My mother bought her vehicle here, and highly recommended this dealership.Great buying experience, low stress and easy to work with. George was especially helpful and professional.

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.
