Reputable Chicago Ferrari Dealers?

I'm back in my hometown for the next week for a wedding and visiting family....

want to take this opportunity to see if there are any good F-cars on the market. It's been a while since I've been out here. I only know of Fox Valley Motorcars in West Chicago.

Are there any other F-car authorized dealers? I heard of Luxury Motors but are they an authorized Ferrari dealer?

Stay away from Luxury Motors at all cost, i think others here will agree. My dad bought a lot of his cars from Continental in Hinsdale, but it seems like they have been moving more in the Maserati direction...worth a shot. All Lake Forest Sports Cars, not sure if they are a dealer, but i know the Mancuso's personally and they are great people. Hope you find something!

Yeah, stay away from Luxury Motors. Trust me, they rip a lot of people off.

Fox Valley Motors is great, but I've only dealt with their Lamborghini dealership. I don't think they sell new Ferraris.

Call Lake Forest and ask for Tyler Dean. Tell him that "The Credit Man" sent you. I have purchased four -- and soon to be five -- cars from them including a 599 a few months ago.

A few pictures....

Also, I don't know if they have a showroom, but Chicago Motor Cars is a board sponsor, and they carry a large variety of exotics. I bought an F-car from them last year, and it was a great experience. Ask for Parin.

Lake Forest is great, so is Gold Coast. I have several customers who send cars to them for maintenance, and most of them are 6 hours north of Chicago.

why do you say stay away from luxury, i mean how do they rip off, wouldnt rip off be if they charged you much? or do you fake documents etc?

Also isnt gold cost bentley and lambo owned by them, so is the infiniti dealership on ontario st in downtown, they seem to have a lot of dealerships that are not called luxury..

Luxury Motors owns Bentley Gold Coast and Bentley Downers Grove, the Infiniti Dealer on Ontario is Fletcher Jones, not LM.

Check out their BBB report or just google them, you name it they do it. They are the undisputed kings of bait and switch and every other shady business practice

I think it changed, check this website out, this is the new Gold Cost Infiniti Owned by LM no longer the Flecher Jones Infiniti.
