Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Reno, NV

My car buying experience at Lithia Reno started in early January '17 when I was home for a short stay at Christmas. I had shipped my 2011 Outback to Hawaii in October and knew I would need a car when I returned from Hawaii at the end of March '17. I knew I wanted another Subaru Outback so I went down to the Reno dealership to look over and possibly test drive the vehicles. At that time I met Tomas who spent time showing, explaining new features and letting me test drive a new Outback which convinced me of the model, upgrades and color I wanted. However I told Tomas that I would not be buying until late March when I planned to return to Reno but would like to keep in touch on pricing and financing until then. Tomas agreed and kept me informed by email. The day after I returned in March, 3/24, I met with Tomas to make my purchase. Unfortunately the color I wanted was not in inventory and would not be available until April 17th. But I also wanted to take advantage of the 0% financing available through March. So in order to make my purchase by the end of March, Tomas and his manager found the color of vehicle I wanted at another Subaru dealer and arranged to bring it to Reno. On Tuesday 3/28, Tomas called and told me that my vehicle was at Lithia. I went down that same afternoon, sat down with Tomas and Jesse and finalized a purchase (including credit check and financing) and drove my new Subaru home in less than 3hrs! What could be easier! Thank you Tomas for the excellent personal service! And thanks to the entire Lithia sales team!

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.

This was a great first time buying experience. The salesperson, Ben Petersen, was very courteous and patient. He worked hard to get me a deal I could work with. 10/10 would recommend.

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.

Ohhhhh, we were soooo eazzzeeeeee !! We got so much wool pulled over us you'd think they were sheep ranchers. Don't know if we were fleeced or sheared !! SERIOUSLY, WE WERE TREATED WONDERFULLY. Picked a miserable day for a test drive , 5 Jan, 3-4" snow in an hour, but it let the Subaru show off a bit, and the rest of the day just got better. They provided intelligent answers to all our dumb questions. We got down to a good price in 15-20 minutes, and then Paul, Brock, and the finance team kept things rolling until we had our keys and were on our way to lunch, about 3 1/2 hours, total. Pleasant and Professional. Thanks you, Paul, Brock, and Lithia Subaru. Norah & Marc

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.

When my Wife and I bought our Crosstrek on 9/28/18 I cant say enough good stuff about this dealership. Especially Troy and Salvador!! Those guys are one of the big reasons why we bought the Crosstrek other than we already did the research on the car before we went there and just needed to pick a color. Getting back to Salvador and Troy. These guys were super informative and extremely knowledgeable about the car. Its the first time I have ever went to a dealership to buy a car and wasn't pressured and felt extremely relaxed throughout the entire process. Your dealership has 2 top notch salesmen! Excellent experience!!!

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.

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.

It is axiomatic that there???s a special place in hell for car salespeople: most people would rather have a root canal than deal with them. Dealing with Chad on my recent purchase of a 2018 Subaru Forester gave lie to those truisms. What a gem he is! Due to some unfortunate recent medical issues, my credit was problematic. But Chad refused to give up and left no stone unturned to make the sale. I can???t believe I???m saying this but I???m actually looking forward to going back to Reno Subaru for my routine mantenance.!

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 am a car enthusiast! I spend way too much on cars ??? but I work 24/7 and it???s my only hobby. This review will be a bit on the long side, simply because I have so much to say about my experience with Vroom. My wife gets frustrated with me because I talk so often about how amazed I am with Vroom in every aspect! I bought my first car in 1968. Back then I couldn???t afford much, but since about 1979 I???ve purchased some very cool cars. I even bought a brand new Rolls Royce back in 1985. I???ve owned: exactly 10 Mercedes, Jaguar, Ferrari, Audi R8, BMW, Range Rover and several others. So when it comes to dealing with car dealerships, I feel like I???ve become rather expert ??? AND a huge skeptic of car dealerships!!! When you buy a high-end car, you lose SOOO MUCH money, as soon as you drive it off the showroom floor. So the last time we purchased cars, we decided to purchase nearly-new cars with very low mileage on them. We bought an Audi R8 and a Mercedes SL63. And it turned out GREAT. No regrets. So now it was time to sell those cars and buy two more. I happened across Vroom.com in my Internet search, and found the perfect cars for both my wife and I at the same place ??? Vroom.com. The cars are nearly identical to the same cars we???ve been driving, but just newer. A 2014 Audi R8 and a 2014 SL63 ??? both with about 3,500 miles on them. Even the same colors as our previous cars. I got bids from several companies to sell our cars to. Vroom offered the highest amounts on both of our cars!! And it was FAR easier to sell to them than any other company. Unbelievably simple! And the prices for the newer 2014 cars was extremely fair. I flew out from South Orange County, California to Vroom to look at and drive both cars. Vroom picked me up at the airport and brought me back to the airport. I was extremely impressed with Vroom and their showroom. And without exception, every single person I???ve spoken with and dealt with at Vroom has been not only helpful and enthusiastic, but GENUINELY concerned about making me happy. Even after the sale they keep contacting me to see how I???m doing and to ask if there???s anything that I need. They got me great financing! Less than 3% interest rate. I had no clue that you could do that with a ???used??? car. No other buying or trade-in experience I???ve ever had comes even close to how great, simple and fast this was. Oh???and they shipped the cars from Texas to us at NO CHARGE, and picked up our two cars at the same time. And the nice young man who delivered the cars was fabulous. He was so very, very careful with our cars. And not only do they have their guarantee ??? I believe you have a week or so to drive the car, and if you don???t like it, they will take the car back. They even told me several times (even after I???d purchased the cars) that if for some reason we decided we did not want the cars, they would come pick them up and truck them back to Texas at NO COST to use. Unbelievable!! Well, my wife is now also so impressed that she no longer is frustrated with me for talking about Vroom so much, and telling all my friends. In fact, I???ve already asked Vroom to look for a car for my daughter. I now would not think of getting her car anywhere else than Vroom. I mentioned before that I???m a skeptic when it comes to car salesmen and dealerships. So if I was you reading this, the first thing I???d wonder is, ???Why is this guy writing this review? Are they paying him???..???? Well, I don???t know any of the people at Vroom. I spent so much time on this review simply because I believe that when people deserve credit, and they treat you so nicely, you should reciprocate and sing their praises. My name is Dr. Rod Kurthy. I???m a dentist and I own a dental products company in Southern California.

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 had an Excellent purchase experience buying my '17 Subaru Outback. I got a great price and the purchase process went smooth, with my Salesmen, Paul Bushnell and Troy Cowen, and my Finance Manager, Andras Szuhai. Thanks again for the Deal, Accuracy, Professionalism, and Knowledge of product ! I got the exact 2017 Subaru Outback I wanted, both in color & equipment, and price. .............Sincerely, "Stephen H", Carson City, NV.

This Is our 2nd Forester it is awesome has exceeded all expectations drives well has amazing safety features perfect size highly recommend to everyone you will not be disappointed

Raul and Paul are amazing to work with, and I know this is true because they did a great job with me and I???m aware that I???m a pain! Very knowledgeable and very helpful they both helped navigate around my horrible and changing schedule. I???d highly recommend coming to Lithia Subaru and working with these two gentlemen; they will get you where you want to be.

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 was referred to Texas Direct Auto/Vroom by a good friend and I???m glad I decided to go with them for my car purchase! I initially got Billie as my car sales personnel, but she seemed to be very pushy and just aiming to make quick sale; which is something that made me very uncomfortable. After speaking with her for a while I advised I would give her a call back to speak with my financial advisor on proceeding further on this process with Vroom. When I called back I got a different agent that saw in the system that saw I was talking to Billie and advised me that she would give me a call back in 5 mins, well 30 mins passed and I called back upset because I did not hear back from her after she ran my credit and didn???t like the fact I wasn???t trying to put 2500 down. My credit score was excellent I had a 740, but I didn???t have enough credit history she said is the reason why she kept asking me to put so much money down on 23k 24k car. The last time I called upset after not hearing anything from her a gentleman by the name of Shannon Humbles answered and I advised him that I did not want to work with Billie anymore because she made me feel very uncomfortable and I felt like she didn???t personally care about helping me through the process of the purchase. Shannon is an ALLSTAR!! He went over and beyond the call of duty to help me make this purchase!!! 7 days later my vehicle sits in my parking garage and I love it! The process was so easy to purchase, I had to put 1500 which is the standard, instead of 2800 that???s Billie was demanding that I put down! Please go with Vroom! I saw a couple bad reviews and I know every process has its flaws, but I???m here to tell you, they work! They are a very good company and I look forward to making another purchase with them for my girlfriend???s Christmas gift! Thanks Shannon and Vroom!!!!

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.

On round trip from Travis AFB (where car was stored for 9 months) to Reno and discovered just past Sacramento that both CV joints were failing. Called ahead and they committed to assessing problem if I arrived by 4 PM. Checked in at 3:30. Within an hour they confirmed the bad condition, luckily had the parts in stock and committed to replacing them that same day. Finished by 5:40 and on my way.

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.

I will say that I was a bit apprehensive after reading some negative reviews; but due to the volume that this dealer ships out, I can only assume that poor experiences are a small percentage of their business practice. I visited Vroom???s website in the evening and decided to purchase my wife a Cadillac SRX. Within minutes I received a call from a sales rep. Within an hour of that initial call, he collected my $500 ???hold fee??? that was later applied to my down payment. The following day, my sales rep called to inform me that financing was secured, even with blemished credit. (Required an additional $600 down payment which I had wire transferred). 3 days later, I received my contract via FedEx, completed it, and shipped it back. Once they received and reviewed, I was sent an email with an expected delivery date. From start to finish, the entire process took 10 days, and we received a used Cadillac SRX in EXCELLENT condition. The interior was spotless. The exterior needed a wash, but it was understandable because the car was shipped from Texas to Florida. I have already recommended this service to others, and will likely use them again. *Car does come with a 60 day temp tag, and I have not heard back from Vroom about acquiring my actual registration and plate. - However, I believe that I still have a couple of weeks left on the current tag.

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 !

My experience was nothing short of great!!! Our salesman - Evan Williamson, went above and beyond his job to make sure everything was perfect! Can't wait to get another Subaru for my husband from Evan. He followed up to make sure everything was going well and if I had any questions. I did call him back and he answered immediately and had an immediate answer to my questions. Everything was/is perfect!

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.

Great experience! We really love our new Crosstrek, and we were very happy with the whole process. We've bought Subarus at this dealership in 2005, 2017, and now 2018.

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

Arrived 15 minutes early for routine warranty service appointment. Car was "inducted" into the shop immediately, greeted at the door to the service desk area immediately, and the whole process took 45 minutes v. the one hour predicted. While waiting, had a nice chat with the general manager, who told me about the company's expansion plan for the dealership, which is number two in the US>

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

I just wanted everyone in the service department to know that my friend & I were totally blown away by the over the top service from the time we brought in my car for the airbag replacement til the time we left. Scott was so helpful as were the rest of the people up front, everyone was so pleasant & helpful, it was a really great experience. The car was don in the time frame that they stated. They helped us with the shuttle, & when we went back to pick it up - Scott was helping another customer & another fellow (sorry we didn't get his name) asked if he could help & he went directly back & got my car & had it up front & ready to go in no time at all. Oh yes & they found that it also had a recall on a brake line, & took care of that as well & also did a complimentary inspection of the whole car, found some other things that needed to be attended too. We are impressed. Eleanor Johnson

Replaced a 2002 BMW I bought new and loved until the last day I drove it in 2018. Now I look forward to every chance I get to drive my Forester. My dogs do too.

Often visiting dealerships, a quick view of our not so fancy attire, gets us Pre-Qualified as a No Sale to most. NOT so at Reno Subaru. They greeted us with family style energy that was unlike most dealerships that have what my husband calls "Sharks circling." 100% full transpanency of information without pressure, made for the best experience at a dealership we have ever had. Thank you for that.

The 2019 Subaru Forester fits my 6'5.5" 15 year old son, and there's spare head room for when he grows taller. I researched multiple vehicles. This one had the room, gas mileage, and most of the creature comforts I was looking for. I also has great pickup, responsive handling, and a smooth ride. It's much smoother than my 2017 Mazda CX-5 (a lead butt).

My best friend lives in Reno and she is always looking at new cars – she needs a newer one. She would look more often and more seriously but she is so uncomfortable dealing with the high pressure salespeople and the dealerships they work for. For that reason we went new car shopping together. I went along to give her more confidence and look out for her interests. Mercedes Benz was #1 on her list but she still felt intimidated. We were very pleasantly surprised to find how fast, friendly, and professional everyone was in helping us get a great price on a new Mercedes! Tom Diefendorf answered all our questions and made us feel at ease. He was intent on making sure we were treated like royalty and we certainly were impressed with his knowledge and enthusiasm for Mercedes Benz, AutoNation and the dealership. Our sales Associate, Scott Ratfield, was great! As usual, my friend dreaded dealing with Finance. But, dealing with the Finance Manager was an unbelievably pleasant process, My best friend has purchased new BMW's, a Lexus, and an Audi in this area and NEVER has she been treated so well until today. Tom Diefendorf and his team made this experience very simple and easy. She will be continuing to do business with Mercedes-Benz of Reno in the future, as well as we will be recommending Tom Diefendorf and Mercedes-Benz of Reno to all of our friends and family. Thank you for making our day a huge success!!

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 gave a 5 star rating because this was a positive experience from start to finish. I had checked out 3 other dealerships before coming to Subaru. I was on a mission to buy my very first car. Subaru was affordable and had awesome cars within my price range. Brock made everything extremely clear when communicating with me. I put 1,000$ down to save a car, Brock kept in contact with me for the next month to keep me posted on the status of my car. I was concerned about the interior being ivory because I was under the impression it would be black. Brock called me right away and sent me pictures to make sure I was still happy. When the car got delievered, Brock sent me a picture of my car and I was so excited. When I came to get my car, it continued to be a positive experience, I never felt like I was being "tricked" into buying more and more, which is a different feeling than what I got from other dealerships. I appreciate the staff, Brock specifically, for making this experience great. I have even talked to Brock since with questions on my car and he continues to be patient and helpful.

It is awesome! The ammenities are awesome. This car exceeds all of our expectations. Best decision we have made in a kobg time. Would recommend this model, most definitely.

Great sevice. Prompt sevice. My Forester runs smoother, better milage. Love my Forester, wI'll look at Forester again for next car. Was sure shocked at $500+fee. Felt goughed by a lot!!! I drove all way to Reno for sevice. Will not do that again due to costs.

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.
