Hey all,
I live in the Chicagoland area (western suburbs) and haven't been very impressed with the Ford dealers I have gone to. Anyone have any recommendations, especially those with a good internet presence (i.e. web page and internet sales)? I'd like to find a good dealer contact before the 05' comes out so that I can negotiate a better deal and avoid the price gouging if I can help it.
Thanks,

When I lived down there I liked, Joe Cotton Ford in Carrol Stream, and Willowbrook Ford. Now I dont know about the internet for them, but they where both fair with me about 7 yrs ago.

Thanks order#1. I went into Joe Cotton Ford not too long ago to look at an 04' Cobra. I didn't get much respect though, and they wouldn't let me test drive it. I am 25 and was in business casual clothes (I came from work), and had a ring on my finger (married), yet I think they still perceived me as a punk kid who couldn't afford it and wanted a joy ride. I didn't appreciate that attitude much.

I haven't been to Willowbrook Ford or Woodfield Ford yet, I think I might try those out. Woodfield Ford claims to be the largest volume dealer in IL so maybe they'll play ball.

My friend in Melrose Park buys cars at Al Piemonte Ford and I know they sell alot of Mustang's there! It might be worth the drive? :drive:

I bought my first new car from Wickstrom Ford in Barrington, IL. My family has bought/leased 8 cars from them. In fact, my Mom went back to the dealership even though she had moved to Cincinnati to lease 2 Explorers.

Good people.
