Anyone have a VS in Chicago/Suburbs?

I am looking for a member in my area that would let me check out their Vintage Speedster in person. I'm thinking on ordering a car from Kirk at VS. and it would be nice to see the finshed product up close.


Thanks,

Marty

anybody out there?

I used to live in Oak Park, but that won't help you much now. There used to be a guy that posted on the forum from Chicago, I think his name was John Sullivan. You can find his name in the registry.

Marty , Check the registry . There are a few vintage owners around the Chicago area. Where are you located?

Carey, at Special Edition is a lot closer!!!!!!!!

If your thinking new, aircooled, your crazy for buying from someone so far away when he is so close.

I am located in the east part of St. Charles. I wanted to get a Beck, but every time I saw one at the dealer in Glen Ellen something (minor) was not working with the cars. Makes me nervous. I have not talked to Carey direct.


Marty

Absolutely call Carey. You never know who built the cars at a dealer. Get one direct from him and you're much better off.

As close as you are you should arrange to meet him at the factory one Saturday. I bet you could talk him into it.

These cars in general tend to be that way, especially when they are new. Anyone thinking they are going to buy a brand new car so that they won't have any issues to debug or problems to fix is kidding themselves.
The nice thing about a new car is that you have good support and it is almost always a simple fix.

These cars built by any manufacturer are all that way. I would say the first 4 thousand miles on any brand new car is a break in period with a some debugging and adjusting. These are not factory built cars, you had better expect to do some of these things.

Thanks, for the insight Steven. A little debuging may be fun.
