Looking for a Nissan in Illinois?

Rasengan · 01-25-2010, 02:12 PM

I posted this in General for another reason pertaining to mileage on a brand new car but I also wanted to relay a great dealer experience I had when buying my 2010 Roadster just this past weekend. If you are looking for a Nissan, you can give Eric an email and even negotiate through email (which he actually prefers!) although there won't really be much negotiating since he will give you the best price right from the start. He even sent me pics of the car without me asking for them:

DONE! First off let me say, Eric Cotto at The Autobarn Nissan in Evanston is the best dealer I've ever worked with. He got me under invoice on the new Z (when all I asked was that he match invoice price) and got me more than I thought I would get on the trade-in by walking through all the options I had on my Lexus IS350 with the appraiser. He went so far as to tell me to back up my car a few inches to hide one of my bent rims against the curb so I could get a better offer. He was very no nonsense about the whole process and put all the BS aside. I would have been in and out if it hadn't been for the slow process in the financing department. I highly recommend buying from him or at the very least giving him the opportunity to make you an offer, you have nothing to lose.

I emailed him today just to tell him by far it was the best auto buying experience I've had. His contact info is Eric Cotto [eric.cotto@gmail.com] 847-475-8200 in Evanston.

Another great dealership experience in IL, I dealt with Alex Chernis at Arlington Nissan in Arlington Heights.

He was a cool guy and was also the GT-R sales guy over there.

Gang,

Miles Nissan in down state Decatur is a great place to purchase your new Nissan also. I bought my 370 there last year for VPP with no problems. (See Moe Brown)

P.S. Their lead Tech (Steve Hays) is one of the best around also.....

Oh man. Alex sold me my '04 Maxima back in 2003. He has since left Arlington Nissan (as well as all the original service guys who were totally awesome). That place isn't the same anymore. I'll never go back!
