Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Oakland, CA

Had an excellent experience purchasing a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution here. Have continued with servicing here the last two years, and have been completely satisfied. The best staff and service.

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..?

Arranged a meeting date with internet salesman, Henry Pun. Arrived, he greeted me, showed me the vehicles interested in. Let me test drive at my leisure. Arranged excellent financing for me, stood by internet sales price, no tricks or gimmicks. Listened to my desires, not the dealer. Very efficient, friendly and customer oriented. John in financing was excellent to deal with as well. Overall, a painless experience. Would recommend to anyone.

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.

Friendly staff members, repairs were made, I am pleased.

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.

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

Ben was an awesome salesman for me this weekend. He was able to narrow down my search very quickly as far as options for the car I wanted as well as the options I had to finance that particular vehicle. He was very clear and conscise while explaining my options and was able to get me outta the door a lot faster than I expected. Bottom line, I got a great car, it runs perfectly, and im making pretty low payments per month. Im a happy camper.

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.

Very easy to purchase, the entire thing happened over email and the papers were signed via overnight FedEx. Less than 1 week later, the car was in my driveway. It does take longer than a traditional dealer, but you don't have to sit there for hours while the paperwork and financing takes place. The car came in immaculate condition, no paint chips, no scratches. Interior was perfectly detailed and cleaned. Good price, low mileage, clean history report.

I loved the look of the Forester. I also liked the way it drove. I had to not get the Forester because when you fold down the back seats there is about a six inch hump . This as going to cause problems hauling items. There was also a good bit of space between the front seat and the folded down seats even if you moved the front seats all the way back.

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

Only owned it two days but so far really like it a lot! Look forward to many years of use from the Subaru Forester! Great

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

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.

Very impress with the staffs and attitude at the AutoNation Hayward Service Department. I purchased my new 2015 Sienna from another "leading" dealer at Fremont, CA, where I live. The buying process at that dealership is good but the Service Department are not present. the Service Advise and the Service Manager have pretty indifferent attitude. On one instance, where I want them to fix a loss second roll seat on my new AWD Limited mini-van, The Service Manager refused to even go to my van to understand the issue. He simply said that he is not a mechanic! My friend have refer me to AutoNation at Hayward to look at the issue. To my surprise, the experience at AutoNation is very positive. I work with Johnny Rodriguez, who is patient and listen to my complain and finally, help me to get the issue fixed. Since then, I have bring my mini-van to AutoNation for all service and repair. I want to work with a Service Advise that listen to my issue and be my advocate.

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

This review is for the complimentary oil service I have on August 23rd for my new EVO. The facility is very clean and staffs are professional, the waiting area is large with comfortable sofas and free WiFi. The oil service was done quickly and the service adviser, Fernando, is very nice and professional. I will definitely go back for my future services and repairs.

The Subaru manufacturer produces top quality cars at common man prices. My used 2016 Forester 2.5i is a base trim model, however, it has what I really need in a car without the up charge. The engine is well sized for the the vehicle; it is paired with a CVT transmission. The combined effect is that with little pressure on the gas peddle, the car springs into action. (No more holding up the line when the light turns green.) Last weekend I took the car on a camping trip. Some of the roads of the campground were muddy and uneven with 2 inch stones. The high suspension and symmetric 4 wheel drive of the Forester handled the roads effortlessly. On the highway to and from the campground, the Forester was a smooth well handling ride, even over the winter torn roads. There is plenty of torque at highway speeds for highway acceleration. The cabin interior layout places the major controls at easy reach. The operation of the infotainment system is reasonably user friendly, and there are quick controls on the steering column. In summary, my Subaru Forester is is a well equipment, quality vehicle, especially considering it is the entry model. Based on Consumer Reports I expect a long and trouble free (reliable) service life. Good quality, reliable, reasonable price = valve, value, value.

Jackie was helping as since we get at the dealer, and she did great all the process of buy the car as we need , am buying cars from them since 2012 and all the time it's been a great experience they try to help you a much they can as long you tell them your budget Ayman Moussa and his family team find the best deal for you. definitely a dealer to bring your family member or a good friend

I love my Subaru. I am so happy I bought it. I do have a couple of suggestions about something that is a problem. Changing the clock is a real challenge. I get my son, a computer network engineer, to do it for me and he even says he wonders why they made it so difficult. My neighbor said she looks up a video on YouTube to change hers. I need to check that out cause my needs changing right now and will not see my son for another month. Another thing is the odometer could be better to view at a glance. I don't want to figure out where 55 is when I am driving. I still have not figured out how to get my cell phone to work through the car.

Just a simple 6,000 mile service visit at 42K miles on my Outback. Best to make an appointment particularly if you plan to wait for the work to be done. Included exterior car wash at no charge. Service Advisor delivered car at front door of dealership/waiting-area in less than an hour and went through results of multi-point check (Customer waiting area is beautiful and spacious with snacks and drinks). This is a 3 story facility with shop and write-up on first floor and Customer waiting area on third floor (street level) so could be a little inconvenient for people unable to climb stairs. The recent remodel included everything except the shop (a little surprising to me). LanceM

Shift is a bit different as they are not actually dealers but consignment for the sellers. A slightly different yet interesting approach. They basically are a mobible auto selling business that comes to you. The cars are inspected, clean and offer competitive pricing. The salesperson lets you take your time, drive the vehicle and offers info and financing and extended warranty options. This is a great idea and hats off to the group who started this business.

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

Our car was totaled, no one was hurt, however, being retired we had a limited amount of resources to purchase a reliable car. SHIFT provided us with a detailed check list, the carfax information, lots of photos of the car and best of all, they will drive the car to your location, you can test drive it and if you decided you want to purchase, they handle all the paper work. What could be more street free. We bought the car and are extremely happy

This car is perfect for me. It combines comfort, reliability, styling and exceptional performance on all types of roads. I have the Touring turbo model which is very quick off the line and hustles down the road easily when prodded. Combine all of that with the practicality of an SUV and you can understand why I am in love with it. I prefer to drive it over my other car (which I also love), a 3 series BMW, because it is as quick but much more versatile.

It is really very smooth doing business with shift. They make used car buying process easy and reliable.

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.

Great customer service , really recommend it to those whom don't have enough time and are planning to purchase a car

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.

We had a fantastic experience with Shift. We had a good idea of the car we wanted and found a model online. Within 24 hours, Anthony J. was at our door ready to take us for a test drive. Because we'd applied for a loan from our credit union in advance, we were able to purchase the car that same afternoon. Anthony was incredibly helpful and did not push us in any way to buy the car. The Shift staff also processed our paperwork without any trouble after the purchase and were quick to respond to any questions we had. I recommend to anyone looking to purchase a car in the cities where Shift is available!

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

Shift helped me find a buyer for my 2014 BMW M5. They had my vehicle inspected, took care of the detailing, photos and delivery to the new buyer. After selling the BMW, Kevin and his team were able to find me a 2012 Bentley GT convertible with 5k miles and help me purchase below market value. Kevin and his team communicated thought the whole process and was very helpful in selling and buying my new car. I would strongly recommend Team Shift for anyone who is in the market for buying or selling.

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

Service was good. However, I have to wait more than 45 mins to get a shuttle. On a morning of a working day. Also I saw some more people waiting for the service. I have experienced with other dealers because I have also Ford and Doge cars and shuttle service waiting time is less than 15 mins. Probably would be good to review the demand and may be have at least another shuttle car.

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.
