Any other people in Chicago ordering on Monday?
Any suggestions for what dealer to go with?
As I mentioned on another thread, it appears that the only (current) Chicagoland 'certified' LEAF dealer is McGrath Nissan in Elgin -- they do list other Nissan dealer's when you put in your zip on their site but perhaps the others aren't yet certified due to this most recent acceleration of cars coming to our area. I don't know anything about this particular dealer having never owned a Nissan product before -- I did however own an Isuzu Trooper II years ago and wasn't all that pleased with the Nissan/Isuzu dealer service at the time (late '80's) but lots of things (including ownership of that dealer) has changed as well as Isuzu no longer has car dealers in the U.S. (just trucks). I'm also still on the fence regarding the LEAF with our cold winter temps as well as I'm not so sure that IL will offer the EV rebate for it (it's typically for ICE to EV conversions) but am looking to see what the local media updates as people will I'm sure be one of the first to get one out here soon; if they held the '12 price to the '11 with the same upcharge for the cold weather package it would be a bit easier decision as well ...
