Good Dealership Experience's?

I will be buying an evo either in illinios or flordia. I need to know who here has had a good experience with some of the dealerships in these states. And preferrably who's gonna give me the better deal. I dont have much time to shop around other wise i would do it my self. Any feedback you guy's could give would help me out alot.

Where in Illinois? I know of a good dealership just over the border in Iowa. Right now they have a silver '05 with SSL and a white MR on the lot. I don't recall the prices, but they may be willing to bargain a little as they have been sitting on the lot for a while.

i think i could find one of those pretty easy, im just looking for a good deal and dont want to get hassled or jerked around, last thing i need is some guy wasting my time and the numbers dont match up.

The dealership I go to is located in the Quad Cities, about 180 miles north west of decatur. They only have the two evos on the lot. The dealership is known for not haggling with the price, although you may be able to talk them down some on the evos as they have been on the lot for several months. The white MR is beautiful. I drove it to see what the suspension and shifter felt like and it was great. And don't worry about buying it, I kept it under 3500 RPM the whole time and never really built any boost as I was just checking out the suspension and transmission. They don't let many people test drive them, I just happen to know several of the salesmen there. If you are interested in checking it out, their website is www.lujacks.com. Their inventory search isn't accurate right now. I have been there recently, and they have a white MR and a silver '05 with SSL. If you'd like I could try to find out what they have them listed at and PM you.

Thankyou but that's ok. I will be buying an Evo9 around June 2006 time frame. Im just wanting to know where to go. I use to work at Bob Brady Dodge/Mitsu in Decatur and they jack their prices up. And beside's i dont like my old boss there .
Since the 9's arent released in the US yet, this gives me plenty of time to find a Trustworthy/honest dealership. And being in Korea right now doesnt really help my searching. Does anybody know if there is a website that show's Dealerships across the nation, which one's are good which are bad and one's to stay away from?

Max Madsen countryside has been pretty good to me. Do a search in the midwest forum. This should be moved there anyway.

EDIT: oh and you do realize that you can go to whatever dealer you want right? Some dealers might have very helpful sales staff but hard to deal with service. You're not going to get a 'well you didn't buy it here' attitude from a service dept. A good one will be happy to have your business, regardless of the purchase location.
