I checked out Continental Audi in Naperville, IL, since a few others here had had good things to say about them.

It worked well enough- they sold me a car (2001 A4 1.8TQ/5spd/65K miles).

Jeff Garvey was the salesman- yanno, there's a lot to be said about the value of an honest salesman. Unlike the jokers over at Fox Valley VW, he laid everything out and showed me exactly what I was getting for my money, and how everything was being laid out. I originally wanted to go for a lower payment over 60 months, not 48. "No," he says, "If you add it up, you're paying a lot more that way because of interest." Sure enough, I would've paid an additional $1500 just on interest otherwise. Plus they'll have your car ready and detailed to showroom perfection. If you're in the Chicagoland area, definitely check these guys out.

 

I liked the sales people at Continental too and the mechanics seemed sharp (I always inspect the service dept when shopping cars at various dealers). Unfortunately, they haven't got what I'm looking for in stock at this point in time. Very professional people here, and likely because the owner is often there and is a car guy. If/when I find the right A4Q 2.0T 6mt, I'll be going here for scheduled service.
