Default Anybody got a dealer hook up? (except Schaumburg)

The Schaumburg sales rep i met today was a total *****. My other relatively close option is Fletcher Jones downtown... anybody know anybody there? I don't understand why these sales people don't work to get my money?!

Who did you talk to at Schaumburg? You should allways talk to Dean when you go there, good guy.

I met with an internet sales guy who didn't seem at all intersted to sell a car. I'm going to try Fletcher Jones over the weekend and see if they want to take my money more than Schaumburg.

I would call Gabe at McGrath in Glenview. 847-998-8000. Good Guy. Tell him Patrick referred you. I will let him know you are calling.

Got a price quote from Gabe. Worst pricing out 3 dealers i've contacted.. almost to the point it sounds like a joke.

I bought my car from Bill Manrot at Continental. Good guy. Not pushy. I called other dealers and only Continental was willing to answer all my questions via email.

Schaumburg:

I was not impressed with Schaumburg. The moment I stepped in I felt like I was being slimmed all over. There were a lot of really loud salesman, but none of them wanted to serve me, but instead wanted to pass me onto someone else. When I did find a salesman, and was explaining my trade-in he proceeded to denigrate it- really playing hardball. So I left. Then he came groveling back, calling me several times a day and gradually increasing my trade-in amount each time.

Laurel of Westmont:

I bought my BMW from Laurel and had a decent experience. Though when I first stepped into the showroom absolutely no one came to greet me. Seems no one wanted to sell me a car.

Anyway, when I wanted to buy my TT, I called them, told them what I wanted; and the Salesman never called me back.
