Default Any members close to Bill Kay Chevy-Lisle,IL ??

Hello Guys/Gals
Wondering if anyone close to Bill Kay Chevy Dealership
601 Ogden Avenue, Lisle, IL 60532 ?
If so are they an honest dealership?I'm trying to do a internet long distance buy.I know this is scary to say the least.
Anyhow,I'm Tony from near Nashville,Tn.I'm interested in a "96" Grand Sport that Bill Kay Chevy is going to sell.So If anybody is close by to give the car a visual inspection.Like the leather,paint chips,spider cracks and so on.The car has a good car fax,one owner and low miles,so I'm sure its what they say it is.But I had an experience from HELL on a Ebay auto purchase so I'm gun shy.
If anybody is in the neighborhood or drives by there I'd appreciate a quick going over.Be glad to pay for your time and gas.PM me for contact name and number.
Thanks very much,
Tony

I've been there a few times. I don't know what the expression "honest dealer" means? They sell cars (.)

I would ask the guy to whip out his phone and make a couple of video clips for you. That'll give you a better idea then just pics.

Sure did.I called them yesterday and got stuck with a internet sales person that knew absolutely nothing about this car.No matter what question I ask about the car,answer was "PERFECT".
Thanks Quick Silver

Now on Ebay:

I had a great experience with them. My steering lock went out again and I had to have it towed to them. The did a history on my car and saw that all maintenance was done on my car since new at a Chev, dealer. Including a prior recall on the steering lock. They replaced the entire steering system on my car and didn't charge me a thing. They also sponsor Golden Glass Corvette Club and put a huge Concourse and Car show every year.

He had told me over the phone he had owned his own auto business for 20 years.Guess he left out part of the story.
Thanks,

Sounds like you might be dealing with Bill Kay Corvettes & Classics which is a used car store at 2100 Ogden Ave in Downers Grove. Rick Peterson bought my 2008 convertible last September. I got a good price and the deal was quick and smooth. The Grand Sport looks very nice.
