I'm thinking about buying a used car from The Autobarn VW Mazda Nissan in Evanston, Illinios. I live three hours to the north and want to make sure that before I make the long drive I learn as much about the car and the dealership as I can. Does anyone in the area know anything about this dealership?

Do they have a good reputation?

Good customer service?

Honest (as honest as a dealership can be)?

Take only good, solid, local trades?

Do they buy/sell a lot of auction cars?

Have you bought a car from the dealership? If so, what was your buying experience like?

Anyone interested in going to the dealership and taking a look at the car for me? I'd be willing to pay you for your time.

Thanks!
Michael

 

After looking more closely at the photos of the car, I noticed it doesn't have power seats. Since the salesperson told me the Z had the touring trim, I can already tell the guy is lying. I'm almost certain the touring package on a 2009 370z comes with a power driver seat. I'm thinking I may have to walk away from this car.

 

They have a good reputation around here, not sure about your particular experience though!

 

My Z was a touring package and had manual seats but it was a 2007 so I guess that doesnt help much. As far as Autobarn, I have heard good things about them.

 

I have a friend who brought a G35 from them a few years ago. The sales people are average. They don't know too much about cars other than their VW and Mazdas though.
