Anyone here lives near Chicago's O'Hare airport?

More specifcally, near the following address?

333 West Rand Road
Mt. Prospect, IL 60056

Reason I am asking is because I am looking at perhaps buying a used car from them and would like to know if a fellow E90Post member, could swing by, test drive it and do a quick assesment on the vehicle.

I don't want to fly to Chicago to close the deal and find out the dealer was not honest as to the vehicle's condition.

Please PM me if you are willing to help me out on this...

TIA

If I were you I'd have the guy take it to a dealer and do one of those inspections. Forgot the name of it, but I'm sure someone here will chime in.

Shit...that's only 5 miles from my home. FYI...you are better off paying for a PPI. It is also a reputable dealer.

I recommend the following for out-of-state purchases:
