Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Libertyville, IL

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.

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.

Service team went above and beyond to make a frustrating experience tolerable. Thanks to Tyler and Amanda and their team for their efforts, I appreciated it.

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 daughter purchased a Mazda from Napleton's Mazda right next door. The location is convenient to my home and after researching Subaru vehicles, I decided to visit here. I was pleasantly surprised to see people remembered both my daughter and I (I accompanied her when she purchased her vehicle and she accompanied me on my purchase). My experience was pleasant and the staff here are very willing to listen to what you are looking for and work through cost with you. I am pleased with my purchase in every way!

Just bought a 2011 GMC Terrain from Frank Winstead. He was a great dealer. He wasn't pushy and was very knowledgeable about everything I asked. He made this the best car buying experience I ever had. Next time I need a car I'm definitely going to see Frank.

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 will stop here first in future. Great purchase experience - straightforward and honest, good price - have been driving the car for several weeks now and love it!

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.

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.

Went in to look at a used car we found online, liked it but didn't love it. The Sales Consultant (Baker) helped us find similar vehicles in our price range, and we ended up finding the perfect vehicle at the perfect price. Plan on coming back here when we're ready to purchase our next vehicle.

Purchased a new WRX from another dealer and was having alignment issues from the get-go. Went back to that dealer to get an alignment under warranty -- only to notice the alignment was never really corrected properly 100 miles later. Decided to go to Brilliance Subaru for two reasons: 1) MUCH closer to home and 2) We purchased a Forester from them very recently and was impressed by not only the sales/financing staff, but also the punctuality & quality of work from the service team's pre-delivery inspection (couldn't say the same about the dealer I purchased the WRX from...). This gave me a good idea of the kind of work they do and made me more confident in Brilliance. Brought the vehicle in on an appointment for the alignment and had a pleasant, professional interaction with Adam Mennella - got checked in and was told it'd be an hour or so. Enjoyed a few cups of water, perused the vehicles on the lot, chatted with Phil Liang (who we purchased the Forester from), and was out of there in under 45 minutes! Alignment was now how it SHOULD'VE been in the beginning and I even got a print out of the pre- and post-alignment numbers (had to poke and prod at the other dealer to get a copy). Went off on my day with a quick turn-around time, complementary car wash, and even more confidence in Brilliance Subaru's service team. I will be returning to Brilliance for the foreseeable future for all my service needs!

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.

It all starts with my purchased back in 2006 from then Salesman Ryan Drouin, now General Manager. He gave me an incredible deal back in '06 on my Outback XT. That had me contacting him for my 2015 Outback. Sadly he could not find me one. But he was the first call I made when I was trading that '15 in for a new 2018 Outback Premium. Enter Kiril Velkov. I kinda knew that Ryan, being now General Manager, would be in an overseeing capacity rather than a hands on salesman. When my schedule allowed for me to travel the 300 miles to visit the dealership I jumped at the chance to show off my very nice 2015 and to reacquaint myself with Ryan after 12 long years. They would evaluate my trade and also I could drive the newest model of Outback. Little did I know I would meet another terrific salesman in Kiril. He and I hit it off swapping stories of our own Subaru history and trips made. Two guys with a passion for the mark of Subaru sharing with one another our history. Awesome. Kiril worked tirelessly, and I do mean to use that word, as he kept in constant contact with me to make sure the deal was good enough and that the plans of making the trade were firm and settled before I made the next trip up 300 miles to Bensenville to do the trade. He made it a "business marriage", and I accepted the terms before I even gassed up my '15 to make the trip. Everything was easy that day...from Kiril making me feel at home, to getting the needed finance and paperwork completed and accurate. Kiril was a one stop, ALL questions answered, complete fulfillment of all of my wants and wishes. In short, it was a no-brainer. Kiril made it easy, made it painless, made it not like other dealerships I've been to. The team of Ryan & Kiril will continue to be my "go to" place for Subaru's. In fact, my wife will be purchasing a new 2019 Forester coming up this Fall 2018. Guess who I'm gonna call...? If I could have more than 5 stars they'd all get more..!!

Can’t beat the great safety features for long commutes or long trips! This is a great family car or a first car for teenage drivers.

We searched high and low for the perfect used vehicle for our son (and us) - well maintained, safe, great mileage, very reasonably priced, and gorgeous. After many weeks, we finally found that unicorn at Grand Subaru! The hitch? It was 500 miles away from our home in TN. Our apprehension was very real. There was so much risk for something to go wrong. The save? Grand Subaru's incredible sales savant, Joe Lewicki! Joe quickly built genuine rapport with us-he's clearly experienced, highly knowledgeable, attentive, efficient, thorough, transparent and friendly. He physically walked through the lot to ensure the vehicle was in stock and was very patient as I asked about the features while he examined for me and described them clearly. He was very open and accommodating to my request to place a small deposit and to have it independently inspected. He was timely and gracious to my mechanic, allowing a thorough inspection. The vehicle checked out to be our dream on wheels! Joe promised that the car would be extra spiffy to delight our son when he laid eyes on it - and he delivered! We made the long haul to Chicago and the onsite transaction couldn't have been more swift and satisfying. The car handled beautifully, solidly. The general manager, Ryan Drouin, greeted us warmly shortly upon arrival. The business manager, Brandon Metz, was thorough, concise and very personable. After everything was wrapped up in short order, Joe even provided contact info for a few great options to pick up a deep dish pizza on our trek back! Grand Subaru is a top notch operation that excels in offering the trifecta of exceptional people, products and processes. While everyone we interacted with was sincerely outstanding, Joe holds a special place for us. Ask for him. From first hand experience, he's a gold standard.

I like all the safety features. That's what sold me on the car. And it is excellent for the height challenged people. Very comfortable and easy infotainment center.

I came in around 5:30/6:00p and George greeted me at the door. Asked me a few questions and started recommending models that would suit my lifestyle right away. Asked me if I wanted to test drive the Optima along with another model. Tested the Optima, fell in love. Answered every question I had about the Optima (safety, price, quality) and also showed me where everything was in the vehicle (how to turn light on/off). Made my first car buying experience smooth and painless. I was out of the door by 8:30p with my beautiful new car! I would highly recommend this dealership! The staff was polite, George was incredibly friendly, knew the cars features very well. He made me feel confident about my purchase! 10/10 Would recommend

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 husband and I bought a Volvo from Okaz for our daughter and I was leery to purchase from a used car dealership. We bought a car for our son from a used car dealership and got scammed big time. Soon after driving off the lot we had issues and the dealership was awful and I vowed never again. This time my husband did his research and assured me this dealership was great and not to worry. Had a good experience with Sammy and Alex, both were very courteous and professional. Not your typical used car dealership, easy to work with and not pushy at all. We had an issue with the car immediately after we purchased and Sammy was very helpful. He accepted partial responsibility for the repairs which were done off site due to the distance of his shop. Called him immediately and he did not dodge my phone calls and was responsive. He took partial responsibility for the repairs, was honest and trustworthy. My daughter lovers her new car and it runs awesome! I feel very confident that she is driving a safe and reliable vehicle.

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 !

I made an appointment for 2:30 pm on a Saturday but called to ask if I could come in earlier because my days plans had changed. They were happy for me to come in and arrived around 11:30 am and oil change and new cabin filter installed car washed by 1:45. I forget the young woman???s name who checked me in, but this review won???t go through unless I choose an employee name so I???m checking ???Elizabeth??? since that???s the only female name on the options list of employees, but she was really easy going and helpful with answering all my questions. Highly recommend.

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.

Awesome place.... sales person Dan was super nice vary knowledgeable on the car I was interested in (2017 legacy) they price matched me and ever knocked off an extra $100 dollars in good faith. If your in the market for a Subaru they definitely worth a visit.

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..?

Mid-City Subaru and Brian Ferguson in Sales make a great team for buying a new car. I saw the car I wanted online, called, went to see it and negotiated a deal with Brian in a short amount of time. I had researched cars for 3-4 weeks, visited a different dealer, but found the exact car I wanted on Mid-City's website. Bought it immediately and drove it away the next morning. Everything went smoothly, thanks to Brian and Mid-City.

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

I did not buy the car from them but was really satisfied with customer service., because they answered all my questions.

I've seen other reviews and have to disagree. They are upfront about the cars, you just have to know what you want and don't want. For some people a rebuilt title is a no-go but if you do your own homework on the vehicle you are interested in, you will find out that most of the cars have Moderate damage with no real mechanical issues. For me this was an easy decision because of the price and easy of the deal. Will definitely be back for future sales. FYI I bought 2 cars!!!!!

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 bought a Mercedes from Moto Zone about a year ago. I’m still very happy with the car! I knew the car was strong and reliable when I test drive it. But that is because I know Mercedes. If you don’t know about the car that you are buying, I will recommend that you take a mechanic friend with you or… just pay for the guaranty. In my case I took the car to a mechanic the week after. Here is what the mechanic found: 1- The car was involved in some crash (look like it was minor) and it didn’t show in the Carfax report. Maybe they never report it. Anyways, looks like the bumper was replaced. 2- The paint wasn’t original. And whoever did the painting job, it didn’t do a good job. There was some tape remains in the bumper. 3- The bakes pad and rotors needed replacement. No badly but I did it anyways for safety reasons. 4- The driver seat had a little tear. So why I’m still giving Moto Zone 5 starts? I got a good deal, even after replacing the brakes ($600) and the other little fixes. Why I didn’t complain about it? Now I have a solid Mercedes with new brakes. Life is good.

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

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!
