Anyone have a really great or terrible experience with dealers around Chicago? Looking to pick up a SI by the end of the year.

Had a REALLY good experience with Muellr Honda in Highland Park. Price was fair. I was treated well. They let me test drive one that the plastic hadn't even been taken off the seats on (3 miles). I would recommend this dealership without hesitation to anyone. The service department is good, Close friend works there, his name is Tim C.


Always have had poor experiences with Motorwerks, I feel like I'm just a dollar sign to them

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but if you're still looking, I'd definitely recommend Pauly in Libertyville. Had a great experience and still drive all the way out there from the city to get service done because of it.

On the far other end of the scale, I'd avoid Schaumburg Honda like the plague. Worst car buying experience ever there-- it feels like a 1980s caricature of awful shady sales techniques and salespeople.

I went to aurora because it had the biggest selection, the guy was nice enough there but you should do your research and be ready to be firm

Before I start, let's all agree that YMMV. Different people I have spoken with, have had different experiences at each dealerships that I visited. So it may be different for you.

I got mine at Valley Honda in Naperville. These guys were GREAT!!! They didn't have what I wanted but located it and had it in my possession within a week. Car had 6 miles on it at pickup, so it wasn't driven much(would have been 3 miles but I couldn't make it the first day available so the car went back to the holding lot). Didn't haggle on their price because I felt the asking price was where I wanted to be.

Honda of Lisle tried telling me my EXT coupe 6 spd was going to be hard to find (rare was their term) and wouldn't budge on trying to sell it for MSRP. Dealer add on's (wouldn't remove) minus discounts, price =MSRP. I don't think so. I walked and will never go back.

Napletons in Rockford, was excited about selling me a car when I test drove theirs. When I arrived to do the deal, they didn't have what I wanted, tried to convince me to get another color, and could not or would not locate one for me. Kind of acted like my sale wasn't important them. I will NEVER be going back there when looking for a Honda.

Interesting note on Napleton's in Rockford, sorry you had a bad experience there... Bought a used Minivan from them, and my last three Honda's, in general have had pretty good luck with them. Maybe I just don't know what a good dealership is like. LOL But I felt they treated me well, price, sales, and service. No complaints over the transactions in the last, say, 16 years I've been dealing with them except for a few minor things, some of which I blame Honda and not Napleton's.

I have known several people that have purchased from them and never heard any complaints either. My co-worker bought his Civic from there. Hell it was seeing his Civic, that I decided to buy one. I just felt as though, for some reason, they were not interested in my business. They were like, we don't have what you are looking for but we have this and then nope cant help you find it either, good luck. I was ready to purchase that day.
