Did anyone see these vehicles in person? If anyone has any details or infomation on the black 03 or silver 03 please post. I'm considering purchasing.
You know, you can often turn up a lot of information using the "search" function here on NSXprime. If you had searched on "Libertyville", you could have found
a complete report on the 2003 silver car. :wink:
oh... for those who are familiar/local to the area. Can I get to the dealership via public transportation from the airport?
Yes, but...
The only reasonably fast way to get there via public transportation from O'Hare is to catch the O'Hare people mover to the O'Hare Transfer Metra stop on the North Central Line (DON'T follow signs for the CTA subway to downtown Chicago!), take the North Central Line on Metra to the Mundelein station, and then catch the Pace 572 bus which goes right past the dealership. You'll find a schedule for the North Central Line
here, and a schedule and map for the Pace 572 bus
here.
However, the North Central Line has service ONLY on weekdays, and even then, outside of rush hours, service isn't all that frequent on either the train line or the bus line; if you don't hit either one at a convenient time, you could be waiting quite a while for the next train or bus.
Basically, you are MUCH better off either (a) renting a car to go to the dealership (if you can drive it back to the airport), or (b) taking a cab or limo from the airport. If you have already concluded a deal and you are picking up a car, the dealership would probably be willing to send someone to pick you up, or would at least reimburse you for the cost of the cab/limo.
FWIW, in case you're interested in noodling around with Chicago-area public transportation websites... The
Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) is the umbrella organization over the
Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) (city buses and subways),
Metra (suburban commuter trains), and
Pace (suburban buses). There's a trip planner on the RTA website but it has trouble recognizing the dealer's address (it keeps trying to plan a trip to the south suburbs, while Libertyville is 40 miles north of O'Hare). If you ask it to plan a trip to Hawthorn Center, a mall in Vernon Hills half a mile south of the dealership, it does a somewhat better job. Not as good as you can do by looking at their maps, but somewhat better.
Sheeesh, at the dealership I work at we pay for customer's local flights and they may only be buying a $30k-$40k car.
