auto showcase--carol stream illinois
they have a car we are interested in and we wondered about their 'ethics' for lack of a gentler term [ no offense intended] . i just don't want to get a car that is less than i expect of it . i may be rushing this question a little but don't want this to work out and then ask as car is on ebay . . . .peace

I'm 2 minutes from there every day. Seems like an OK place, I stop in now and then to "poke" around. Nice, clean cars. There's also another place up the street that I bought my current C5, D&M motorsports in Glen Ellyn, they sell a LOT of vettes and are a Superformance dealer too.

I'm over here in New Jersey, but I just went on their website and it looks like he has really nice cars - very clean, at least to me. Other than that, I know nothing about this particular dealership. But he did have a few nice C5's for sale. Good luck with whatever decision you make!

I looked at a C5 Z06 there 2 1/2 years ago, and it was an extremely nice dealership with high end, top-quality, low-mileage cars. It was pretty unbelievable just how extravagant their showroom was too. All the marble in the bathrooms made me think maybe they are making just a little bit too much money! 
You sure are going to pay a premium buying from them. With an 8k mile car, I highly doubt there could be much of anything wrong or undisclosed that could surprise you if you're buying sight unseen.
