Used Subaru Outback for Sale in Livermore, CA

very responsive, knowledgeable, eager answer all my question

The rear automatic braking system kills my love for this car. If the eyesight thinks you're going to hit something (a wall, another car, etc), it sounds a brief warning, then slams on the brakes. You might just be backing into or out of a steep driveway though. It scares the daylights out of you if you're not expecting it. Literally, the brakes will lock up. There is no instant kill switch for it, and it takes a while to turn it off while holding your finger on the button. I can't back into my own driveway without this thing slamming on the brakes unless I hold up traffic while pushing and holding a button to clear. It resets every time you put the car into reverse. I hate this "feature" so badly. I wish I could permanently disable it.

All dealers/dealerships aren't created equal. Well this is true in a very positive way as I found a diamond in the rough. My Scion tC finally died (auto transmission) and I always said I was going to replace it with a Lexus IS 300. That's all good until you actually start hunting for one. For those who don't understand, finding an IS 300 is a feat in itself. They sell quickly, and you're lucky to find one under 150,000 mi. Well, not only did I find one, they had two for sale both under 150,000 mi. I drove down (from El Sobrante) the prior weekend to check the place out and get a feel for it as it was a smaller/local car dealership. There, I met Manuel who helped me from beginning to the closing deal. He was very courteous, not pushy, and shot straight with me. I called back the following Tuesday (today) to see if the car was still available as people were inquiring about the car while I was there! It turned out a few individuals made offers, but they were below the listed price. Oh yeah, pricing was the same as the website. I even asked for the out-the-door price (taxes, fees, etc.) and gave me that as well. Needless to say, I was ecstatic! I secured the vehicle today after following up with Manuel. Also, he let me drive it to my mechanic in El Cerrito to get looked at prior to purchasing for my piece of mind. The big takeaways are Auto 4 Less may not be a huge dealership, but they are: respectful, not pushy, and honest. The car buying experience was smooth and easy-peasy! I would recommend. My personal takeaways are: research (common failures, common costs, common lifespan, etc.) the vehicle you are looking at prior to purchasing as that goes a long way!

I am very very happy with my car I love it thank you very much. I get great gas mileage and have gone to California last year

It was so tough for my husband and me to get rid of our old faithful cars. AJ took great care us and walked us through the process of trading in our old trucks for a sleek, smart plug-in hybrid Accord. He was super attentive, upbeat and made our experience as smooth as possible. Thanks AJ :)

One half century of purchasing cars, this Subaru meets and in some areas exceeds expectations. Great dealer support as well. A pleasure to drive especially on long road trips. It is nice to drive long distances and arrive not feeling tired.

I had a rather poor experience here. I went because the 4.9 Rating on cars.Com and they had the best list prices for the car I wanted. I went there expecting a good experience and it turned into a 6 hour long ordeal. Within 10 minutes I was dealing with a confrontational sales man who insisted they need to run my credit for me to shop. I immediately asked to speak to the manager. This was the first shady thing. I requested a new sales man. After all I drove 2hrs there and didn't want to waste my time. So I decided on my vehicle and then came the negotiation time. They offered me 5000 under bluebook. Shady practice number 2. At this point I grab my stuff and was getting up to leave. The salesman kindly asked me to wait so I waited for one more offer which was still 3grand under blue book. I inspected the offer they had printed there was also like 5k in service contracts and extended warranties on there I didn't ask for. Shady practice number 2. They don't tell you the terms of the financing I had to confront them About it. At this point I told them I don't have time to play these games, I had already been there for 3 to 4hours, and to make a real offer or I'm leaving. I was pretty furious at this point. 3Rd offer came back with what I was expecting with one small correction they had door edge guards listed on the vehicle and they were not so I had them remove that charge. Even though this dealer ship list there vehicle prices as low on cars.Com they put dealer accessories on everything to boost the price back up. I will not be returning here and wouldn't recommend this dealer to anyone.

Easier to navigate than the sedan I previously owned, which surprised me for an SUV. It is fun to drive. Comfortable, heated seats, plenty of storage space, media and navigation system are just a few of the perks I enjoy.

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.

When it comes to safety, reliability, value for the money, and best of all it's performance in the snow, Subaru is hands down the VERY BEST. I would challenge any other car brand to beat any of these qualities in a car . . . no matter what the price!!!

Today is Easter Sunday and we've purchased a car. We are so excited about the services received, thank you Hector,John,and Steve for your wonderful support at cars.com thank you. Sincerely, The Butts Family¿

Love my Subaru's all-wheel drive and its looks. The Outback is a comfortable size and provides a lot of space to carry when the back seats are down.

Dealer responded back immediately and answered all my questions patiently. Did not put any pressure on me to by the car.

This car has all the latest technology for safety and comfort. Best car I have ever owned. It far exceeds my expectations. It is very comfortable.

The only concern that I had was the fact my leg room may have been less then I had hoped for. Other then that it was an outstanding auto.

I owned 3 Outbacks. They are great cars! They look great, they are fantastic in the snow, and they hold their value in resale. I would highly recommend this vehicle as a reliable, stylish, family car.

This vehicle satisfies all of my needs. Very reliable, well equipped, everyday driver. This vehicle has more than ample room for passengers and cargo. Very easy to drive, and comfortable.

My outback is comfortable, classy and great MPG. It’s a 4 cylinder but still good performance. I’m very satisfied with my car and would buy again

This is a new car purchase experience review for Anderson Honda of Palo Alto. I submitted an inquiry through TrueCar and they referred me to this dealership. First.. let me say that the entire car purchasing experience with Anderson Honda was pleasant, productive, and stress free. Why? 1) They followed up with me by phone within minutes of submitting my request through TrueCar. I was contacted by David Bradley, who was very informative and helpful regarding the vehicle I was looking for. 2) The car I wanted was extremely popular with buyers and there were literally none on lots in the bay area at the time. But that did not stop David from making it a reality for me. He looked up incoming inventory and there were several arriving soon, and offered to let me come in and put down a deposit, which I did the next day. 3) Since David was out of the facility on the day I went in to put down a deposit, he introduced me to another sales rep, George Werner. George was fantastic and walked me through the deposit process, which was simple, concise, and insured the vehicle in question was reserved for me. 4) George also had the dealership perform a trade-in appraisal for my current vehicle. This is normally the most difficult part of buying a new car as most dealers really low ball you on trade in price. Not in this case. The used car appraiser gave George an appraisal voucher that almost exactly met my desired trade in price.... being fair for both me and the dealer. 5) George kept me informed on the status of my vehicle in transit to the dealer. And it actually arrived earlier then expected, and so I had a pleasant surprise phone call a few days later to set up an appointment to come in and complete the sales process the next morning. 6) The entire sales process was smooth, with no surprises, and nobody jumping out from behind a rock and fouling up completion of the sales process. --- Vehicle was prepped and detailed for me when I arrived. --- The Finance office was efficient, did not try to upsell me on various add on items, but did encourage me to look at a Honda Care package to carry a comprehensive warranty for 8 years (I keep my cars for 10 years on average), and given how much hi tech electronics and other systems in the car, it was an easy choice for me to accept the recommendation. --- George was very helpful and customer focused through the sales process. --- I drove off the lot with my new vehicle in less then two hours Seriously, this dealership and it's staff are extremely customer focused and do not play games or make things difficult for the buyer. I have generally found Honda dealers to be very good and easy to work with.. but Anderson Honda raised this to a whole new level for me. These folks are customer focused pros who want to sell a great vehicle line to great customers. Anyone who asks me for a recommendation for a Honda dealer in the Bay Area.. will get Anderson Honda as my recommendation.

This car is unbelievably practical, well made and good looking. It has great gas mileage and is extremely reliable. I have never had ANY issues with it. I once went on a ski road trip with 4 of my friends and we all fit comfortably with all of our ski gear in the back & skis on top! I am so sad to say goodbye to it. I am only selling it because I am graduating Medical School and starting residency in NYC in June.

Charles was awesome. Had me out of there with a rental in less than 15 minutes and provided great insight into what is required for the service of my Subaru WRX.

Adrian Fields was very polite and smiles at me when I drove to the servicing center at 8am. He asked me how my day will be (busy or not so busy?), took my details, told me what needs to be done to my car. Within an hour, he called and said my car is ready. I collected my car 8 hours later and he still remembered my name even though he wasn't the one who returned my car back to me. He is very attentive to his customers. Wished me well and asked me to go back again for future servicing, which I definitely will. I have been servicing my Subaru Forester XT since I bought it New in Feb 2015 and I am always so impressed with the customer service, the speed at which they service the car and the thoroughness of their inspection. Well done and thank you Subaru Stevens Creek for taking care of my car.

Overall, a good car. We've had a couple of problems that while covered by warranty, still made us uncomfortable. I would probably buy another one. I've owned 3 Subarus and I'm mostly satisfied with the brand.

On the same day I had my Passat serviced for diesel exhaust fluid heater replacement, I had CEL light warning and AdBlue low-level warning even though the AdBlue fluid was refilled. It turned out that the AdBlue level sensor was broken and had to be replaced. Unlike diesel exhaust fluid heater, the AdBlue level sensor was not covered. Diagnosis, sensor part, and labor would have cost more than $1200. My service advisor exempted the labor cost and that helped reducing the repair bill.

This car meets all my needs: leather interior, great sound system, plenty of room in back for kids and ample storage in the back. AWD is excellent! I expect to enjoy this car for years to come.

Car performs very well and is very attractive. Good power, handles well and features are excellent. Dashboard is bright and easy to read. I'm sure I will enjoy driving it for many years.

Got appointment scheduled, dropped car off for service and picked up my clean, freshly washed car 30 minutes before the promised finish time. No drama and very systematic. Just the way it should be.

I bought this car because I was looking for a 4wd that could tow at least 3000 lbs if needed. I’ve owned this car for approx three years and I use it to drive to work and up to visit my friends in Maine. It is extremely reliable with loads of interior room for all transport needs. I highly recommend this auto.

I wanted to buy a WRX STI Limited 2018 (WR Blue) and i couldn't find in any dealer in Bay area and i did a lot of research online, asked a lot of people on how to negotiate a better deal, visited several dealers and lastly i end up with Carlsen Subaru, met a Sales man called Richard and i told him what i wanted, i remember it was April this year, Instead of him pushing for other Wrx's they had or pushing me to press an order immediately he advice me to wait a few more months for a new version of it and promised to let me know once they are ready for ordering, two months later he texted me "The 2019 wrx sti limited is open for orders now," I went to his office and it didn't take me more than an hr to Finalize everything, and it was the best deal compared to what i was expecting, I am now driving my new WRX STI Limited 2019 and its more than a car, its exactly what i wanted, Thanx Richard and Carlsen Subaru for making my dream lively

This car just keeps getting better. Eyesight, Appleplay, auto door locks, improved display......I thought I loved my 2017 Outback!! Subaru continuously strives to improve upon what they have instead of trying to razzle dazzle you. I will never own anything but a Subaru.

This is the first vehicle that I have ever purchased from Carlsen Subaru. Bret McElroy is an amazing person to work with. He answered all my questions promptly and was very friendly to speak with.I can honestly say that he made my experience painless and helped me out so much when I was looking for my 2019 Subaru Outback. Super great guy and I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. Everyone I came in contact with at Carlsen Subaru was very friendly and outgoing. All around great experience. Thank you!! I love my new Subaru Outback.

The 2019 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited is a Fantastic car! It has an excellent six cylinder engine/CVT trans. Lots of power whenever you need it. The Outback Limited is loaded with all the latest technical wizardry you could want. The Outback has a great ride and very good handling. Plenty of room inside for people and cargo. No need for an SUV when you can drive an Outback.

I went in there a week ago to purchase a used vehicle. I usually dread the buying process due to the length of time, the sleaziness of the salesman, and the fear that I might be taken advantage of. None of these were the case for Carlsen Subaru. Alan showed us the Subaru I came to look at. He was friendly, genuine, and informative. When it came to purchasing the car, we were in and out in less than two hours. I never felt taken advantage of. As a woman, some salespeople think they can hoodwink us, but that was not the case at all for Carlsen Subaru. What we discussed made it into the final contract. Even though I live in Oakland, when I'm ready to purchase a new car, I'll make the trek all the way to San Carlos to see them. Thanks Carlsen Subaru!!!

Had a 2008 and the 2019 is much improved. So many upgrades and safety features now incorporated in the Outback. Everyone should look at Subaru before they purchase.
