Please remember, every one of our cars has been enjoyed by their original owners, and these are not factory-new cars.  This means they have actually been driven, and regardless of the level of care, every car will exhibit some wear-and-tear. Our vehicles are advertised with the current mileage at the time of listing, so mileage at the time of sale may vary due to test drives, transportation for reconditioning, etc.  We go above and beyond to be as accurate as possible in our listings and descriptions, but remember, we are still human just like you.  Cars leave the factory with unattached accessories (i.e. floor mats, extra keys, owners manuals, headsets, remotes, etc), and while it would be ideal to have all original accessories included with every car, this is not always the case.  We will note in our listings any accessories that will be included, and provide a picture within the listing of all accessories.  We do all within our power to avoid mistakes or misprints, so if you see any inaccuracy within our listing, we only ask that you bring this to our attention so that we can immediately rectify the information.  We cannot be held responsible for any purely accidental inaccuracies.  Since our ultimate goal is 100% customer satisfaction, we ask every customer to verify the listed equipment at the time of purchase with their salesperson.  Please do not make any assumptions regarding condition or equipment.  If you have any questions or concerns, call us at (630) 221-1800 and ask to speak with a sales manager to discuss.  We also ask that you not misinterpret anything in this disclaimer, as it is intended to be understood exactly as it is written.  We are here to provide only the very best in quality and customer service!  All sales must add tax, title, license and $300.00 Illinois Doc fee. Fees may vary by state and county of new vehicle registration. Contact dealer for details.
