Potenial buyers in Chicago
Hi,
I recently moved to Chicago and I am interested in buying BRZ. Any good dealers in Chicago? Previous experience with the dealer? Anyone from Chicago already preordered a BRZ? Thanks |

I would recommend Schamburg Subaru. One of the largest dealers in Chicago/region. I grew up in Chicago my whole before moving away for grad schools

Ya... I don't know about you, but people in the Schaumburg area are kinda pricks. Also, Cook County has a ridiculous chunk added on with taxes. I recommend a different dealership, maybe somewhere out in McHenry County.

Very true. I guess it just depends on where the OP lives. I just know that dealer sells a lot of WRX/STIs. I guess DuPage or McHenry might be a better county. Maybe even Will County.

I had a buddy buy a wrx and an sti from them and he had good experiences both times. they are a high volume dealer...probably one of the largest in the entire Midwest. They do sell a lot of wrx & sti cars so their allotment will probably be as high as any dealership around. also, in illinois, the taxes are based on the county the buyer resides in not on the dealer location. No matter where you buy you will pay the same taxes. As far as other fees, the state regulates the maximum the dealer can charge and I have yet to find one that doesn't charge the max. |

you are correct. Forgot about that. Had that car for 7 years and only thing they had to put money into was tires and a set of brake pads.

I ended up putting a deposit in Mid City Subaru. I am the third on the list. By the way I live in Cook Country.

doesn't sound like they will be allowing test drives either. When your # is up you can come in and look at the car. If you like the color you drive it and take it home the same day or you get your deposit back. on the plus side they said it is not their policy to charge anything over MSRP. I made it clear that I did not expect any wheeling & dealing on the car, but that I would not accept MSRP+ on any car. he said they may get a demo car for a few days for people to come in and see but he wasn't too confident about that. Said there would definitely be no driving of it if they did get one though which is consistent with what people in ca and tx saw. |
