Rides Unlimited Chicago review

The moment I walked through the door, I knew this was the

The moment I walked through the door, I knew this was the dealership for me. First things first, no pressure! I was braced to be swarmed as soon as I walked. But no, just a wide selection of vehicles, chill sales people and most importantly no pressure to buy. I told them the car I wanted to test drive. They copied my license, gave me the keys and plates and sent me on my way. The car was perfect with a few items to be addressed. They resolved all issues without any pushback. Gave me a fair price on my trade in, and sold me a wonderful car. I am happy! I highly recommend Rides Unlimited! Thank you Steven Partida and Karl Wilfinger for your assistance.

1997 Nissan Maxima GXE review

This car is Immortal!!!

I got my 97 Maxima GXE 5 speed from someone used. It wasn't in the greatest shape to begin with. Repaired a few things and I drive the heck out of it and it just keeps on going. Now has 236,300 miles and wants more!
