Preferred Dealerships???

Subject: Preferred Dealerships??? January 5th 2013, 10:53 am

Just curious what everyones preferred dealership is... Starting to get the bug for a new ride... I have an 04 Dodge Stratus with 172,000 miles on it... And while I can still get just a couple of bucks for it, I want to trade it in... However, I don't want a second car payment... So might be looking to do a two vehicle swap... Only way I'm getting rid of Big Blue is if I at least get a Charger R/T... Have to go with the Charger because of the family... Saw an Plum Crazy 07 Charger R/T Daytona at South Oak for me... And she saw a Terrain for her... But when I checked the site this am... The Charger was gone... So onward with the search... Just thought I would check what everyones preferred dealer is... That way I can see whats out there...

Thanks

I've only dealt with Bettenhausen, as far as I know I've been treated fairly. They did replace two calipers that were 5000 miles out of warranty, I thought that was pretty good. Check out those new 300s, they are really nice inside.

Tell him to talk to Bobby and that I referred him. He'll take care of him.

I was looking around at new Ram 2500's FOGETABOUTIT. They are fucking crazy. I'll drive my Ford for a couple more years.

I bought 2 cars from Sherman, and might be buying a 3rd if I convince my daughter to get a Dart.
Btw use Bobby, Joey's brother and tell them I referred you. I get like $250 that I will split with you.

Feeney in Elgin has always done right by me. Ask for Dean

Thanks for all the input... The Stratus had a minor problem that I had to fix.. But all good for now... Looking at KBB, I'd prob only get about a grand for it trading it in... So I think I'm going to stick with it till the thing falls apart... I'd like to see it hit 200k miles now too... Just to say it did... As for Big Blue... I found out I owe a lot less on it that I thought... So... I'll be staying with what I have for now... But if the right deal comes along... I know I should be able to jump on it...

Well Shit!!! Feeny has an 07 SRT-8 Charger... Guess I know what I'm doing on Tuesday....

My father just got a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew from Sherman Dodge and if i knew to ask for Bobby i could have given my father the heads up. the Caravans are nice vans if you drive one, Fiat did a great job with the interior IMO.

When I have to go, I'm doing my best to learn to do stuff myself, the dealership I will drive a little out of my way for is Wickstrom Dodge in Barrington. My wife loves them as well. Great staff, awesome waiting area, place for the kids to play/color with a TV, free Starbucks/snacks, free car wash, but most of all honest and fair.

I must say, we haven't bought a car from them yet. I've been tempted by a few SRT8 Challengers, we go for the service.

Agreed, I've bought two cars here and the experience has been good. As far as service, they've turned a blind eye towards my mods which is nice.

Haha yes they installed my PCM for me no hassles no issues. This is an installation that has been a nightmare for many others at different dealers.

Got my Charger from Larry Roesch in Elmhust and my Salesman was Gerado Roman. They did a great job. No pressure and they got me exactly what I wanted at a great price.

I will be buying a new car this year (first since 1988) and I dread the dealers. I don't trust any of them to look out for my best interests; I understand they are there to make a buck. I just hope to find one that's low on the douche bag scale.

Subject: Re: Preferred Dealerships??? April 12th 2014, 8:53 pm
