Does anyone know of a dealer somewhat near Chicago that is willing to sell at MSRP? All the ones I have talked to have been pricks about it... one sales guy was even a 'friend of a friend', and he told us we'd get a great deal. His 'great deal' was $2500 over sticker, saying that their normal price was $6000 over. Blech... dealers! Can anyone help me find an honest dealer?

The Honda dealer in Des Plaines (O'Hare Honda)has a red one. They are willing to be very flexible with the sale...

Thanks allot... I'll keep that one in mind as a backup. I should have specified, though. I was looking for a Yellow 2001.

I searched for months for mine last year. It isn't easy. I also didn't quite pay MSRP, but pretty close.

Jason, I dealt with Carr's Honda for both of mine and I felt like I was treated quite well at MSRP, even. Talk to Colleen Wright at 773.274.7777. Ask for her...

Other than that, it's just going to take some calling around...

When I pass a Honda dealer, I generally stop by to find out what they are getting for 01 and I drop off a business card for our local organization. McGrath of St. Charles, Abdul Tounsi at 630.584.6086. They are getting a yellow one, but I don't know about the price. And the last time I was there, they had a black/black and they are willing to deal. And mention my name, they said they would take me to dinner if you buy from them! hehe

HTH...and keep us posted as to what happens!

Thanks Greg... I'll give her a try. We are going to be racing the car, and I was hoping to find a dealer that would be willing to trade some exposure for a better deal.

We're at the point now where just getting one at MSRP is attractive!

Try Bill Kay - I just got my red '00 for MSRP about 2 month ago, an hour south of Chicago, but worth it - ask for Bert - tell him I sent you
