Chicago Motor Cars review

Was a pleasure doing business with these guys.

Was a pleasure doing business with these guys. Gorgeous showroom with an amazing selection of cars. True enthusiasts here. Got a great price on my car, they offered a fair price on my trade. Were super up front on all details of the car and the deal. Fast and efficient. I look forward to buying again - these guys are more like a fine automotive concierge service than a dealership! Keep it up fellas!

1997 Ford Mustang Base review

27 year old SVT Cobra Convertible

I'm the 2nd owner of this car bone stock, I love the car other than the audio controls are a bit cumbersome when driving. Have 86 thousand kilometers on her and have never had any trouble. Rides like new, shifts, better than new as I changed the stock shifter to a Hurst. New BFG tires and ceramic brake pads. Confident enough to drive any where.

Midwest Auto Store review

We found a [surprisingly] sought-after example of a Honda

We found a [surprisingly] sought-after example of a Honda Element at Midwest Auto, for our son - four hours away from our home. A 22yr old car, with over 100k miles on the odo. I expected a decent car with some issues, for what I paid. Instead, I got the cleanest Vtec the local, mobile mechanic had ever seen. He climbed all over that car for 1.5 hours and thoroughly drove and code tested it - both past/recent codes and “likely fail” codes. I have a four year old, bought-new minivan that wouldn’t have tested that clean. I drove the four hours home with no trepidation whatsoever. I feel like I stole this car. The mechanic told me that he sees a lot of “good cars” come out of Midwest. Not only was the sale easy, no-pressure and quick, (as we knew what we wanted), they were accommodating and incredibly friendly. I’ve owned a lot of cars and after what I experienced, I would buy from this dealer sight-unseen and ship with no fear. ANY used car WILL have some issues - new ones do now! - but this one doesn’t need anything but what anyone should do for any car. It’s getting a fresh alignment and a new battery. That’s it. This is easily the cleanest decades-old ride I’ve ever bought. Five stars.

1997 Ford Mustang Base review

One sweet ride.

1997 SVT Cobra - 63k miles - 2 owner - Rio Red Convertible - 4.6 L 32 valve V8 - 5 speed manual transmission - all original - the vehicle is one of 3088 made by the Special Vehicle Team in 1997... this is one sweet ride and is all original with the exception of a K&N air filter and a sequential turn signal conversion... serious callers only. My left knee is telling me it's time to look for an automatic transmission in my vehicle...

O'Fallon Motors review

Best car buying experience ever!!

Ryan helped my daughter make her first adult car purchase. He went above and beyond to make the car buying experience a fantastic experience for her. Everyone there were so friendly and down to earth with easy going demeanors. I would recommend them to anyone purchasing a car!!

One sweet ride...

2nd owner vehicle that has been meticulously cared for since new. If I had to use one word to describe this vehicle... the word I'd use is "pristine".
