Aurora/Naperville

Where did y'all purchase yours?. How was your experience?. Just curious.

I purchased mine at Valley Honda. The salesmen were good, but the finance manager was a liar.

Sagebrush Pearl EXL here- In Gurnee

I actually purchased out of state up in Wisconsin. There wasnt a dealer in the Northern Burbs who could deliver a Sagebrush in August. I ended up buying at Frank Gentile Honda in Racine. I would rate the whole experience about average.

I bought mine at Valley also. The transaction was ok. The finance guy tried to rip me off with higher interest rate but I walked in prepared. I had a pre-approved finance check from People-First, an online finance outlet. He actually gave me lower rate than People-First so I went with him.

Did you get any break on price at all?

Way out in Mundelein.
Purchased at Rosen. (NOT a good experience)
No service yet, but have had my Accord serviced at Pauly (Generally good experiences)

Live out in the far NW Suburbs.....in Fox River Grove, on Rt. 14 between Barrington and Cary.

Work in Lincolnshire.

Bought the Pilot at Motor Werks in Barrington.
Good buying experience.

Haven't gone in for service yet....too new, but am planning on going in for a free wash on Saturday. Gotta get the salt off of the black Pilot.

I'm in Lindenhurst, about 10 minutes NW of Gurnee. Silver EX.

I went to Rosen first, but they told me that if I wanted to buy a Pilot I'd have to do it without a test drive. They also told me that they had checked around and no Honda dealers in the area had one to drive. I called Pauly and they said, "Sure we've got one for you to drive. Come on down!" Went to Pauly for the test drive and went back to Pauly for the purchase even though Rosen is 5 minutes from my house.

For my first service I called around as well. Pauly said "When do you want to bring it in?" Rosen said "We can't get you in until the week after next".

I don't think I'll even bother calling Rosen anymore.
