I went to Castle Honda (Morton Grove) and Mueller Honda (Highland Park) yesterday (9 Sept)....
Castle didn't have any demo models. They only had 2 Pilots in the service bay getting ready for delivery. The salesman let me check them out the best I could (very nice of him). Obviously I couldn't tell much this way.
Mueller had a dedicated white demo EXL. Other models were on the lot, but they were already purchased. I took the demo for a spin; I'm ready to take the next step now
I haven't tried to negotiate a price yet. Per other postings, I may try Pauly (thanks for all of the good info in this thread!)...
