Used Subaru Forester for sale in Lafayette, LA under $5,000

I saw this nice car online, I called them up ago see if it was available(it was). Still in good condition got in and out in a hour. Great service.

I own a 2005 Subaru forester, LL Bean addition. It has 273,000 miles on it and it runs like it's new! I bought it used and replaced the water pump, timing chain, and gaskets as a preventive measure and it runs like it's a new car. I found that the repairs and parts are very reasonable compared to other cars I've owned. I live in Colorado and the Forester is amazing on snow. I live on a fairly steep Hill and this is the first car can handle it with no problem. It is an ample power, but if you want more power there is always the turbo option. The Forester can handle a surprising amount of cargo when needed, if you put the seats down and the ample headroom allows me to put my dog's crate in the back when needed. I have several friends who are hard core Subaru fans and now I completely understand why!

Bought a Toyota from them last year so we came back and just bought our daughter a Ford Focus from them. Same great owners, same great service! They always bend over backwards to take care of my family. And the prices are very good too LOL. I highly recommend them

We got the 2008 LL Bean Forester because we heard the Forester was a safe car and with a little 5 year old I wanted to be sure we would be safe. I had no idea how much I would love this car. I was not planning on the LL Bean but when I test drove the regular Forester and then the LL Bean it was obvious that I had to get the LL Bean. As soon as I sat in the seats, I knew I want that car. The seats on the LL Bean Forester was like a big comfy easy chair. The only issue I have is I wish the center armrest extended forward more. I'm short so I sit up close to the wheel and my elbow can't reach the center armrest. However, I still love the LL Bean even more than my 20017 Forester but since my son who is now 16 needed a safe car to drive, I gave him the LL Bean.

Well to start Ralph is extremely friendly and personable I'm a single mother I have a car that is so bad it's dangerous to drive I drove an hour to this place I drove away in a car today I went to pick my sister up in it we went to the mall I took my sister back home and then I drove an hour back to Greencastle so far so good but when you have a salesperson like Ralph it makes all the difference in the world kudos to you. Chef and I look forward to doing business here again and again and again

I am the sole owner of a 2004 Forester XS which is still going at 277,000 miles. It has proved to be a reliable car with proper maintenance, and have trusted it so far on many backcountry and off-road adventures. By 2022 standards, the car is just adequately powered, but I was able to tow a #1800 trailer many a time. The engine required an extensive rebuild at 185K miles, which is typical for a Subaru, and the transmission was swapped out for low-miles used transmission at 250K miles - surprising good considering its life history. Road noise/air leaks around the windows are the biggest problem. The sunroof actuator broke mid-life, which was disappointing. Otherwise, a quality car.

I was looking for a used Honda Accord and Fadi had one that was in great condition. We had some minor concerns that he took care of before we came back to purchase the car which included replacing the front grill that had a little cosmetic damage. He and the team offered a low pressure sale and were committed to helping us if any issue should arise. He was our last visit on what was a long day of car hunting and I'm glad we ended the day on a high note. Thanks Fadi and crew!

It has plenty of leg room as for parts i take mine to subaru to get the parts they are like any other car some parts are expensive but i know i get a great job and have no complaints whatsoever i suppose other garages could do the jobs but with subaru i know il get a great job done and no complaints ..

Purchased a car for oldest son. Called and spoke to them over the phone and set up a meeting to see the car. No was extremely helpful and honest with the car and worked to get the items repaired before we took possession. I would recommend them to anyone. Hard to find a honest dealership out there anymore but this one is top notch.

It's a wonderful car my first Subaru to drive and am satisfied Secondly the stability on the road is good and it's fuel efficient .

Thank you route 34 motors for the wonderful service! You guys are so accommodating and flexible. We highly recommend you to all car buyers...we love our new car!

Have a 2009 with 110K miles on it. Very dependable. Averaging 25.8 MPG right now- not too bad for older AWD. I do drive the speed limit and accelerate probably slower than most, and brake easy. Only averaged 24 or so on the Oregon 101 by ocean- hilly, curvy and logging trucks on my butt. Good car. Don't miss my big has guzzler at all!!

SAl was amazing he was so helpful in every way possible from making sure I knew what I was buying to making sure I had everything I needed during my visit

My previous car had broken down and needed a quick cheap fix to the situation while resolving my finances. I had heard horror stories about used car dealerships so went in as a skeptic. They were nice enough to explain i was buying a used car and to expect a few wear and tear issues. I bought it with the express intention of just owning it for a few months. I took it to my mechanic changed the fluids and it served me well with minimal maintenance for three years before i decided to get another. After this experience and how much i saved i do not see myself buying a brand new car

Third time buying a car from Napleton Palatine Subaru, two used and this time a new car. The sales manager Dan Shusterman is a pleasure to deal with and all of the sales team is very knowledgeable and courteous. Definitely the place to go for a new or used Subaru.

Great car, meets our needs. I wish the back was a trunk instead of a visible hatchback. I just prefer stuff in the back to be hidden from outsiders. 27 mpg, good get up and go, starting from a stop. A few repairs needed, but what used car doesn't need a few?

I am so glad we found Gregs auto repair. I have two vehicles Greg and Cliff have worked on this year. They do maintenance and repairs as a service, but they care enough to do them the right way. Quality service with fair pricing will have me return.

This car took me everywhere never failed it's roomy comfortable reliable and economical with 35 bucks i filled up the tank and it last me a whole week

Honestly, I couldn't be happier with my car! Sam was so accommodating and did his best to get me a great price. They were very informative and stress free. The selection of cars here is great and honestly everyone is very friendly and gives you all the details you need. I would definitely recommend this dealer to everyone.

Original owner, drive for 10 years and 160k miles. With timely maintenance and regular oil changes every 5k miles had no issues with the car what so ever with very few minor anoences. 1. The car will trigger check Engine light if the gas cap is not sealed correctly. Had to check after every fill-up but the first several times was scarry. AC is week. In a heat wave you will sweat a little. Non turbo models fell slightly underpowerd. Not a big issue but you can feel it at times. Other than that I love the car. Spacious and roomy. Good visibility and AWD system you can not beat.

bought a used car from the about a month ago, buying process was super easy and super quick. will be retiring and buying another vehicle from bowling’s!

One of the most comfortable cars I have owned. The things I love best. the reliability of the vehicle, only regular maintenance with higher miles, The huge moon roof, and the simple design of the interior of car. This car is loaded yet has very minimal control buttons which is perfect for me rather than trying to figure out how to operate everything. Best car I have ever owned especially buying used with high miles.

i brought this car for $1,800 second hand with 293,000 on the meter, the engine has been running perfectly since ive had it. Ive only had a few problems with it as expected with the price i brought it for. the front drive shaft gave out resulting in one of my wheels comming off completly but was booked in with the mechanic anyway, other than that i've had pretty much no problems at all, ive driven it 4000 and have loved every second of it, being just night drives, random drives, beach drives its been a great car though it

Purchasing a car is never an easy process. I was happily surprised at just how easy and understanding Bryan made it for us I would recommend these guys if you're looking to purchase any used car. Experience was great!

My only Osijek so far is I bought it so I’d have room to put my grandchildren’s car seat in back. Very little leg room for them

I found the car I wanted to test drive on Cars.com and noticed other cars I was interested in were also sold by this dealer. I took the hour long ride north and Mike the owner was friendly and knowledgeable. The experience and transaction was positive. I bought the car I wanted..at a great price!

I purchased my 2008 Forester L.L.Bean used, with about 191k on the clock. At that point I would assume its been decently broken in, but it looks and feels like new. The steering is very responsive, the suspension is somewhat soft as you would expect being that it is a family wagon, not a sports car. Comfortable soft, not worn out. The interior, while simple and clean in design, is very well made. Unlike the dull gray in other models, the Bean has a bold black and tan color scheme, with appropriate use of leather and suede that still show well 11 years later, and feels more luxurious than my 2003 Mini Cooper S. If I had to complain about anything, I would say its the acceleration and throttle response, which are perhaps par for the course. Having come from a decent history of sports cars, the performance does leave a bit to be desired, but all in all my 2008 L.L.Bean Forester has proven to be one of the most comfortable and most reliable vehicles I've owned.

happier. Found my Xterra on the Facebook Marketplace, contacted the dealership via instant message and quickly received great customer service and details on the car immediately from Kareem. I was able to discuss ownership with him and scheduled a time to meet. Kareem walked me through the process of buying, took care of everything including registration. Once my payment was processed the car was mine. Turns out Kareem owns East Coast Motors and took the personal time to make sure my experience was a great one. This was probably the first time I bought a car and didn't feel like I left something on the table. Thanks Kareem for the beautiful reliable car and the impeccable customer service.

I have owned all 5 gens, currently own an 01(SF), 07(SG), and a 20(SK). My favorite is my SG slowly becoming the SF. Since, they are all prone to similar issues. It is a little easier to own the same style of vehicle.

Owner was honest and fair. While others tried to low ball me on my trade in, he gave a fair number and explained how he got it. Gave me a little insight into how the process works and what other dealers should be offering. He also tried to work with me on the price of the vehicle I was interested in. He was friendly, straight up, fair, and honest.

This is the longest I have ever owned a vehicle. I got it in 2014 w/144000 miles on it. I went from tahoe to Bay Area and back almost every week for 5 years. It screamed up the mountain in 3 rd and 4 th gear no problem. I feel I push it at times because I often am driving up and down the mountain. I was making payments on it when coming back from Bay Area, going up the hill in el Dorado hills, I threw a rod out the bottom of the motor at 154000. People had the nerve to ask if I had oil in it. Turned out mice had made a nest in the catalytic converter (because it was stored for a year before I bought it) . Supposedly that’s why. Because I was still making payments I opted to buy a motor from Japan, which is a 2006 Impreza motor. $1710.00 later new motor new clutch assembly. Runs great now. I have 203000 miles on chassis and only about 70,000 miles on new motor. My boyfriend rear ended someone and we replaced the quarter panel, head light assembly and found a matching hood with a scoop ( so now I’m always challenged to race cause everyone thinks it’s an STI-I wish). I have replaced a lot of suspension and steering parts, starter, fuel pump, control arm end links, front brakes and rotors, front shocks, driveshaft, battery, front left cv axel, new front lower ball joints, new clutch again, rewire head light assemblies, put premium rims and nice stereo system, studded snow tired. Then a tourist hit and ran and destroyed my rear quarter panel. At that point I was like “I have so much into it I may as well fix it” so I got all the dings and dents repaired and new paint job. I’m attached to this car. It’s like no other in the Tahoe winter with the studded tires. It’s safe and I don’t have to worry so much that it’s such an expensive car if I do happen to slide off the road in the snow. I will probably keep on repairing it unless the motor blows again. I am a female, but a lot of the maintenance and repairs I do myself. Like tune up and oil change. I also replaced the drive shaft myself ($400) as opposed to paying between $800-$1200 to let someone else do it. Replacing the alternator was easy also. If I can find how to do it on YouTube, I will do it myself.

The people were friendly, helpful and courteous. They worked with me with the money I had and I left with a car. Would recommend Auto Spot LLC to anyone looking for a used car

I left a review several years ago and still am impressed with the forester, I've done most of the maintenance on it myself and it is do able, you can actually service the car which is amazing considering most cars in comparison. It does and has always used some oil, you must add a quart every 2000-2500 miles which is I hear inherent to the boxer design. It has been a good car and I plan on driving it till it drops which may be a while. I changed the struts in the front, along with wheel bearings and front discs for the brakes, ball joints, etc. The struts were beginning to rattle at 122,000 miles. You need to change the timing belt before 100,000 miles on these also of which I had someone else do, I've changed the spark plugs twice on the car and its not too hard to do, not issues other than a new battery and routine maintenance besides that. It drives just as it did when I first got it with 37,000 miles on it 6 or so years ago.

My wife and I were approved for a $6,000 auto loan and went shopping around. After hours of disappointment God led us to Brian Gifford who baptized me in 2005 and sold us a Great car that was actually 7,000 but was still able to make it work with our banker. Great guy great company and a for real car salesman you can trust!

This is the car I drive the most often. I have driven this car in all kinds of environments, including in someone else's yard when I made the mistake of taking a turn too fast. My family bought this car for under 2000 used, and it's been worth every penny. Ours doesn't have AC anymore, nor does it have any of the bells and whistles. This car has never let me down, and I doubt that it will. This is the perfect car.

I'm very pleased with my buying experience. The salesman and the entire crew are friendly and passionate, patiently outlining every detail while providing prompt service. I was very comfortable dealing with them and I didn't feel rushed. Pricing is reasonable and they have a huge amount of cars for sale.

Paid 300$ for it put 200$ in repairs and meets my needs I also do most of the labor to repair it, witch saves alot of money

It handles great in winter conditions. AWD is much better than regular 4wd for snow and slippery conditions. We love the heated seats. The design of the cruise control system is unlike any I've ever used before. A bit odd. I wouldn't design the controls that way.
