Find Kia Dealers in Chicago, Illinois

Went to Napleton Kia in Elmhurst, IL to buy the 2012 Soul+ for 16.5 but seeing the Moss Green for the first time in daylight, I just could not pull the trigger and sign the deal. Stopped by other dealers but none had any Soul+ in stock. I guess I'll have to think about whether I can live with the color or put a deposit down and ask to locate another color.

Well, if your dealer has an F from the BB and you don't want to do business with them, that shouldn't sway you from considering the Soul. Just consider one from another dealer. After all the BBB rating is for the dealer, not Kia. As a snow belt occupant (Chicago area) I can understand your concern about the lack of AWD. A couple of weeks ago I dropped $900 on a snowthrower. For small CUV alternatives, you might also look at a Nissan Rogue or Juke, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, and so on. All can be had with AWD. I'm assuming price is at least something of a concern since you mentioned the CR-V alternative would be used, so you might also look at, say, the Ford Escape which should be reasonably priced used.

Yesterday I helped a friend purchase a 2007 Kia Rondo EX V6. Her Rondo had the premium package ($1200) and the leather package ($1000). The MSRP with those options was $22,995. The invoice is $21395. The purchase price was $20,800, which is $595 below invoice. We got this price without the $750 rebate that we did not qualify for because we did not finance the car through Kia Financial Services. By the way, we live in the Chicago-land area.
