Used Subaru Forester SUVs for sale near Saluda, NC

I only wish I could post a review with more than 5 stars! My husband and I live in Hendersonville, NC, and have been Hyundai owners for over 20 years. You can probably guess the name of the local dealer with whom we’ve interacted in the past. Working with them has NEVER been a positive experience . . . for the most part, we’ve only gone there for recall issues or for something that our local mechanic could not address. Yesterday, having sold my Hyundai Genesis, we decided to go out and test drive a 2021 Subaru Outback Limited. We looked at the local dealer’s website and they didn’t have what we were searching for, so we widened our net. We went to two dealerships in Asheville without success and then, on a whim, headed over to Fred Anderson Subaru. Even before walking into the dealership, we both commented on the unique landscaping (later we found out this building had just opened in April). Upon entering, we were pleasantly welcomed by one of their sales associates, Alona Kaltovich. We told Alona what we were looking for and she said a vehicle matching those specifics had just come in. We test drove the car and Alona pointed out the various features (her knowledge about even the smallest of details was so impressive). We talked price and then settled on the purchase. After handling the paperwork, Alona walked with us around the dealership, even to the Service area where we were introduced to some of the staff. She showed us the lounge (very nicely appointed for a short visit, such as an oil change), and then we met with Isaac Tweed, the Finance Manager. Isaac presented to us an extended protection program—for which we could clearly see the value. By the time we left, we were just so pleased with how we were treated at Fred Anderson Subaru (they really take the “Family” part of their motto seriously), the facility, and the staff we met. My husband and I are in our late 70s, so we’ve been buying and selling cars for over 50 years. We have never had such a pleasurable experience as we had yesterday. If you’re looking for a new or used Subaru, I would highly encourage you to meet with Alona Kaltovich at Fred Anderson. You’ll be very pleased.

This is my third Subaru Forrester. I like the newer safety features and ease of handling. The size is perfect for me, not too small or too big! I would recommend if you’re looking for a midsize vehicle.

Sales lady was very nice and helpful. After the sale though has been less than spectacular. Finance manager doesn’t respond to emails .

I got the 2025 Subaru Forester Touring. I stayed with Subaru because I loved my 2017 Touring. I'm familiar with the layout. Hybrid was not available, but I heard the battery cuts into the cargo space.

The Forester is the first SUV I ever owned. It has had a few issues, but the dealership, Kenny Ross in Irwin Pa, has always been top notch in customer service. First issue was the orignal tires went bald after only 10,000 miles. I called Kenny Ross and they said they would contact corporate. Got 4 new tires at no charge. Next issue I did not even know I had. Took it in for an oil change and they tell me I need a new CVT. Didn't know I had a problem. No charge again. Last issue was a radio that kept giving an error message and would not work. Took four visits to isolate the problem, but now have a new radio that brings in more stations. Again for free. Highly recommend the bumper to bumper warranty. Money well spent.
