Used Subaru Forester for Sale in San Rafael, CA

Bought a used 2015 Acura TLX at Barocci Motors. Excellent customer service. Vehicles are priced aggressively to minimize any anxiety over buying. Felt like they wanted to make sure I was happy in buying a car. Will definitely use them again when buying.

Excellent performer in bad weather. Has a terrific ride & it is very comfortable on long trips & can swallows all your gear. This is my go to vehicle for road trips

We had a great experience trading in our car and getting a barely used replacement from Mo! Mo was kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and most importantly...not pushy. He made our car buying experience easy and we walked out with a deal same day. No gross salesman tricks here - the entire team was polite and respectful. We love our new car from Daly City Mitsubishi!

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!

It was between the Fiesta and Focus xxx. A contact from Serramonte Ford contacted me immediately after I inquired online, then just gave me the facts and figures when I went for a test drive. No need for the sales pitch - and they complied. But my sales guy was very knowledgeable about both cars and was a great help - despite being very young (thanks Generis). Once I decided on the car, he helped me find one, scheduled delivery, did all the paperwork and had great customer after sales follow up. I???m very pleased with my Ford and my Ford dealership. So far it???s been 2 Fords in a row for me - let???s hope that Ford keeps coming up with great cars as they have been for the past 5-10 years. On separate note, if only there was a Ford dealership in the city of San Francisco itself, rather than making us drive out of town currently. Most of your competition have a presence in San Francisco, Toyota having 2 or more! Just a suggestion. Tks

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.

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 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

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 !

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.

We were looking for a specific make and model for our son who had just turned 18 and would be going off to college with it this fall. My husband found one listed online and it was right here in our hometown, Alameda. I went right over and looked at it, and met Alex and Julian, test drove it and bought it. The whole experience of dealing with a used car dealership way exceeded my expectations. They followed through on every one of their offers and promises, and went over the top in making sure we were happy, and still are! Very professional, as well as friendly, and easy to talk to about any concerns. I have already recommended them to several friends. When I need another used car in the future, I'm going straight to Diamond Auto Sales in Alameda.

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

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.

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.

This is a review on our experience which spanned the course of about 3 weeks. We had to take the car in on emergency because the indicator emergency light came on, making OUR ONLY CAR, unfit to drive. To start, we were advised that we needed a new Prius battery. It would be costly and due to the age of the car and the extent of the work, they suggested we buy a new car. We were in shock. We worked with Jason M who actually sat down with us to go over the price, the repairs, the condition of the car etc. I had a lot of questions. He took a ton of time and was extremely patient With us. He answered all my questions, some of them more than once. Throughout the process- he also returned all my calls right away and stayed in excellent communication with us while we made the decision to keep our old car and spend the money to repair. As the repairs were being done and as the repairs were complete, he kept us informed each step of the way. It was a big deal. We really appreciated his personality and his sincerity in working with us on the most difficult decision we've had to make in a long time. Nelson who we spoke with in the sales department - who gave us Kelly blue book estimate, who stayed late to show us some used Prius vehicles, and basically again, stayed in excellent communication with us about our decision- is also someone I would like to compliment. He really went above and beyond and due to our situation, he did not pressure us but instead worked to see how we could make buying a car work for us. In the end, we let him know our decision and he honored it - because it was actually in our best interest to keep the car and not trade it in. After the repairs were complete, we did have a few further problems which had us come back to the service department. Mainly there was some confusion on the inspection report, which the service team actually provided free of cost with the extensive repairs we had done. At that time we worked with Martin and he really shined- he helped us to understand the problems with the car that were not indicated on the checklist for some reason, and helped to build our trust again. Further, when we got a different second opinion, he actually took the time to show us what the parts looked like and the mechanic/technician Rich (who worked on our car) told us first hand, what he saw and this matched with what the outside second opinion suggested, it became clear that the guy who gave us the second opinion (not Toyota) was just selling us parts we did not need. Rich and Marty both explained everything very clearly and even showed us on a car what they were talking about. We now have a new service dealership- though we don't anticipate there being any more problems. Soon, we will need a second car and we have 100% faith it will be another Prius! Thanks for keeping loyal customers, for going above and beyond and for making this experience right- and with such personal touch. It's nice to know who you can trust. Thanks to all. I have to also mention that we received a drop off from their FREE shuttle service and a pick up too- since we did not have a second car and no way to get to and from Concord. Everyone, we worked with was helpful, accommodating, friendly. So, to all of those who helped make a potentially devastating experience, a lasting positive one- we are forever grateful.

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.

Although we didn't purchase from Mercedes-Benz of Walnut Creek, the experience working with Nick Coddington was extremely pleasant. He took the time to determine our needs and budget and spent as much time as we needed to identify the car we wanted. I'd recommend them highly if you are in the market for a new or used vehicle.

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

Kim called to inform me the part he ordered was ready and I let him know I could drop it off today. Came in around 10 and let me know that he would start around noon and give me a call when complete but it mostly likely he would need til the end of business, which was perfectly fine with me. He also informed me that if there was any complication he would call me. hecalled around 2pm (shocker) and let me know it was done. Was pleasantly surprised since he let me know it wouldn't be ready til that evening. 2 thumbs up Kim. Came into the service area to let the lady know that was here to pick up my car. Looked like she was busy having a conversation with all the guys that worked there (assuming everyone was on a break) I guess she recognized me from earlier since she still didn't say a word but let someone know on a walkir to being a car. She pulled out a paper asked me to sign. Did so and went outside. Kim greeted me let me know everything went smoothly and they even washed my car!!!! Kim is the best!!!!

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.

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

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.

The service department has been absolutely outstanding. So far, I've only had to do the normal service at the prescribed mileage intervals . Mine is a 2015 Outback and I'm super happy with the car and the service provided by Diablo Subaru! Every time I brought her down, the car is ready and waiting for me at the prescribed time. One time I left the dome light on and ran the battery down . I had to have it jump-started and when we did that some of the settings for some of the accessories and features. I call the service department and made an appointment and they told me that he simply had to reflash the memory to reset it. They did that for me no charge. I was a very happy camper! This is the best dealer service I have ever experienced. That's pretty high praise considering the fact that I am 80 years of age and have owned many various cars and brands over the years. Jim

Excellent Customer Service!! Would Recommend Both Gus in sales & Eddie in finance to make your next car buying experience easy & seemless 🙏🏼 I was on the market for a BMW X3 or X5 & ended up driving off with the 2018 Tiguan, fully loaded with Premium package for hundreds less than I would have paid for BMW and still feel like I???m driving such a Luxury SUV 🚙 LOVE my New Wheels & LOVE these guys!! Thank you wholeheartedly Gus & Eddie 💕👏🏼🎉🙌🏻

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.

Bought 2 cars from this dealer and this is the best car dealer not just Toyota but car dealer. George in sales and Jim (manager) always go above and beyond!!! Honest, helpful, and just awesome!!! I recommend this dealer to anyone looking!!! George and Mario in sales are great and the manager Jim really exemplifies what/how a car dealership should be!!! 10 stars out of 5 start there that good!!!!

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 purchased a 2016 Malibu LS from Anthony Morales at this dealership. Anthony was very courteous and efficient the whole way through! He gave me all the information I needed to make an educated decision for my purchase. Tara, from the finance department was very nice and easy to deal with. Both of these individuals should be commended for their low pressure approach to sales. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone, and would not hesitate using them again, myself.

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.

My husband and I were looking for a first pickup for our son. My husband happened upon the Jimmy Vasser Chevy site and found a potential option. I called for additional information and was very fortune to be connected with Jorge Delgado. What a true delight. His enthusiasm was infectious and he went above and beyond the line of duty for us. He answered so many questions, and actually sat in the vehicle to assure that everything he was saying was correct. Because we couldn't come to the dealership easily, he took multiple pictures, sent us the CARFAX and even made us a video. He convienced us to drive six hours, to check the vehicle out. He was kind enough to get the paperwork ready so that if we did decide to make the purchase, we could get back on the road for the six hours drive back home, as quickly as possible. When we arrived, Jorge had come in, on his day off, to close the deal. Jorge was very proficient, professional, friendly and transparent. He told us exactly what we were buying and everything he had told me on the phone, was truthful. In addition, the other staff were also friendly and helpful and the dealership was clean and appealing. My husband has already started to talk about upgrading his pickup and returning to do business with Jorge. Jorge is the best vehicle sales associate my husband and I have ever dealt with. We will be recommending him and the Jimmy Vasser Dealerships to our family and friends. Thanks again Jorge.

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

Dantes adeva is a phenomenal sales man, and he is an honest and smooth operator, hemade the buying process understandable.

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.
