Anyone familiar with Chicagocarsonline.com

JRosson · 01-26-2020, 11:04 PM

Has anyone had any previous experience with these guys? They have an extremely low mileage convertible I am interested in. They have great reviews online, but it’s pretty easy to manufacture that.
Also, is there anyone near Chicago O”Hare that would be willing to take a look at this car for me. I’m from Az and the plane ticket is running about a grand right now. Want to make sure I’m not wasting my time.
Hoping to be driving an M4 soon!!!

you may want run a carfax on the Vin and check the Mdecoder to check what options are on the car. those miles seem very little for a 3 year old car, possible rental vehicle with city miles. remember Chicago is a cold temperature area and rear wheel drive vehicles are a no no without winter tires. Good luck.

Which might explain the low miles on a convertible.

I've heard of them...I'm about 40 minutes northwest from them. I've been disappointed by all the dealers in the Chicago land area for purchasing second hand. I've had the feeling they had all been driven hard on the pothole infested roads that are Chicago.

You should check out gold coast motors.com
They have really clean bimmers and do shipping throughout the us I'd def rec them.

I have been in the car business for 7 years (GM at Ultimo Motors) and I have never heard of this place. I live a few miles away from this place. Wednesdays are my days off and usually on daddy duty with my 3-year old daughter but if i can get a could hours away i can definitely go check it out for you.
Their inventory seems clean and decent on their site, which car are you looking at?

Thanks for the input guys. I have been traveling for work. Sorry for the delay.
I passed on this car and picked up up a YMB conv. much closer to home. 31K miles, but much different price also.
So far I love the car except a small issue with the top I need to sort out. I posted in a different thread for some help. (Top Not Locked)
NO regrets about my decision to this point. thanks for the comments.
