Used Subaru Forester SUVs for sale near Kings Grant, NC

I recently purchased a Mazda CX‑5, and I wanted to take a moment to formally recognize the outstanding service provided by Sales Consultant, Madeline Palmieri. Having spent much of my career in both software Operations and Sales, I’ve worked with a wide range of sales professionals. Madeline stands out. From the moment she was introduced as my consultant, she demonstrated a warm, confident, and customer‑focused approach. When I expressed interest in the CX‑5, she walked me through the vehicle and highlighted key features without overwhelming the conversation or making assumptions about what mattered most to me. It was an effective and thoughtful way to begin the interaction. In contrast to the common opener—“What questions do you have?”—which often feels transactional or even dismissive, Madeline guided the conversation with genuine curiosity. She asked the question most salespeople overlook: “What’s important to you in your next vehicle?” That simple but essential step allowed her to tailor the discussion to my needs rather than defaulting to a generic feature rundown. Whether this approach comes from formal training (Sandler perhaps?) or natural instinct, it reflects a consultative sales style that is both rare and refreshing. Throughout the process, she handled my questions and requests regarding features, purchasing options, and pricing with efficiency and professionalism. At no point did she keep me waiting unnecessarily or make me feel like an inconvenience. Her consistency and attention to the customer experience were evident at every stage. You are fortunate to have such a skilled and polished salesperson on your team. Madeline represented Stevenson Hendrick Mazda exceptionally well, and she made the buying experience a positive one.

the forester sport is very reliable get 26 mpg on most of my daily commutes. Drives great in the winter (even though I have the same tires they came with). Traveling in it on road trips are great, 31 mpg using the cruise control and lane assist. It's not a very fast SUV but it honestly worth it. I tend to speed, but it's not something that actually bothers me. I was worried it would be too sluggish. I picked the forester for my road trips, and extra stuff I drive with.

Speaking with and working with Charlie Korn at Blue water was bar none the most pleasant car buying l 😁 that I have ever had. He is very knowledgeable, honest and caring . Ask for him when you call. Plus the vehicles on the lot are beautifully detailed cosmetically and inspected and serviced mechanically to sure that you are getting a great smooth ride. I love my car and got a great deal!Thanks also to Gregg who helped me with some paperwork on Charlie's day off.

Bought my 2015 Subaru 2.0XT Touring brand spanking new off the Subaru dealership's lot. Have owned it all this time about 9 years straight. Take care of your car with regular oil changes, servicing at recommended intervals, and your car will take care of you. Performed the required recalls during service periods. Not 1 single regret on owning this car, ever. It rides smooth and true. Had a clicking issue in the ball joints 2 years ago which Subaru fixed free of charge. Other than that, this car has been my dream machine.

Quick response to my questions. Good information was conved. I certainly will be willing to work with them in the future.

I've never owned a Subaru before but after purchasing the Forester, I may never own anything but a Subaru again! I love the Eyesight Drivers Assistant that it came equipped with. I can see why this car has one of the best safety ratings out there. The interior is very open, spacious, & comfortable and the panoramic sunroof is amazing! It drives and handles like a dream. I would recommend this car to anyone. You won't be disappointed!

I recently purchased a white 2019 Honda accord from here and it was a great experience! They let you look without hassling you. I drove the car by myself to test drive it. Brian was awesome! I had been in an accident that was not my fault but needed a vehicle. He even came in on his day off to help me purchase. No pressure while I looked somewhere else for a couple of hours, in the end was back and ready to purchase. Highly recommend and will be back for another vehicle soon for my son. Thank you ‼️ easy purchase

LOVE this car, maybe a little biased since this is my 5th Forester, my 2nd Wilderness. My first Wilderness was totaled in a head-on collision when a young driver spilled coffee and veered into my lane and struck me head-on. That was my 1st Subaru Forester Wilderness and IT SAVED MY LIFE. Full curtain all-around airbag deployment with a roll, the Wilderness coming to rest on it's right side, me still strapped into seatbelt, and the Subaru automatic crash notification with a live person on the speakers asking me if I was ok and needed 911! Smoke still coming from the airbag deployments, and there is a live person coming over the speakers asking me if I'm ok. It was surreal. SUBARU FORESTER WILDERNESS SAVED MY LIFE! TYVM Subaru! LOVE this car! Gets 25+ MPG with conservative driving, a great ride and suspension, superior traction in mud and snow, load-out practically anything/rack bikes (or whatever on the roof racks), sleep in the back with ample room, superior rear-gate lift mechanism with memory, seats super-comfortable and easily adjustable, solid rear-seat leg-room, easy rear-seat fold-downs for massive cargo area that takes my full HVAC tool load-out for servicing ice baths all over the NorthEast US. A great value, especially CPO with +10K mileage (vs. new) MONEY WELL SPENT! SUBARU FOR LIFE

This dealership is great. Grant helped us find an amazing deal for my daughter. No pressure but very professional. Easy to work with. Will definitely be back. Pleasure doing business with SeaSell.

This car is so comfortable! The driver sits up high, with great sight lines in all directions. The seats are comfortable. The features are very intuitive. My car has automatic door locks so when I walk up to the car with my key fob, put my hand on the door handle the doors unlock. It has automatic headlight dimmer which works great. It has plenty of power for freeway acceleration. All wheel drives makes it great in snow. I’m very happy with this car.

Late decision to look for a new Subaru. Looked at Ascent models @ Parkway, none what we wanted. Located what we wanted, Parkway was good about obtaining that vehicle. Easy pickup process. We were planning on 1.9% financing, but finance manager told us we qualified for 0.9 %, nice surprise! Thorough orientation to our new car. Confirmed our previous positive feelings about Parkway. Trenner was great.

Likes: spacious interior despite modest exterior dimensions, easy to maneuver, great visibility all around, comfortable ride, good traction, handling, and braking, nice interior finish on sport model, strong steering responsive headlights yet they don't blind opposing traffic, very good optional Harmon sound system, numerous effective safety features, low insurance premiums, adequate acceleration..a few cons: actual economy slightly under EPA estimates, seat may be a bit too firm for some but easy to address by adding a thin seat cushion, mandatory sunroof on all but the base model..I wish Subaru would just make that a single option..rough engine start-stop ..however I disable it each time I start engine so it can be a non issue...no reliability issues yet but since this has a cvt and fairly complex safety features, long term reliability is unknown..

Was interested in a CPO. Came away with a New Forester. No pressure sales team. Jeremy on internet and David Shaffer salesman extraordinary guys.

This is our second Forester. Our first was a 2011 Premium we bought as a CPO in 2014 and unfortunately went through the headache of excessive oil consumption within months of buying it. Subaru did eventually replace the engine short block on their dime, but only after repeated oil consumption tests and being told by the dealer service department that it was within normal limits. Calling Subaru of America was the only way we got it resolved. I was impressed that they approved the service, and that's the reason we bought another Subaru. We also have a 2018 Outback Premium in our garage--no oil consumption, and no major issues except replacing the radio for failed lighting behind the volume knob and a minor leak in the oil pan (no dripping underneath the car though) at about 42k miles. We like our 2023 Forester Sport overall, and first and foremost we like its excellent safety ratings and features. I will say the ride is much firmer than our Outback which is only a couple hundred pounds heavier. Wish it had a little more storage in the center console and beneath the climate controls. We look forward to many years of driving with the Forester (and our Outback). Based on our experience, I do feel getting a Subaru-backed extended warranty is worth it for peace of mind (we bought them for our first Forester and now our Outback and both eventually paid for themselves). You DON'T have to buy the warranty when you purchase the vehicle. Call different dealers in your state and ask for their price on an extended warranty for your vehicle--we saved hundreds of dollars by doing this. You have until your manufacturer warranty expires to add an extended warranty.
