I went by the Lexus dealer I thought it was at and realized it was the one in Westmont not Naperville, If I am out farther west I will certainly stop by.

Any input on how the trip is from Chicago-O'HAre to Naperville? When I asked the salesman about getting to the dealership, he said there are lots of taxi's at the airport and Naperville is a common destination and reasonable fares (thanks a lot - couldn't even offer to pick me up at the airport in the car...). Looking at the Atlas, it looks like about 20 miles or so.

It is about 20 miles, I am 99% sure that it is standard fare to Naperville - in other words some destinations you get charged fare times 1.5 - so it should be 30 - 35 bucks. You will end up taking 294 east (it is actually headed south right there) to I-88 west to Naperville so it is a straight shot. I would think with so many Windy City guys one of us would be able to get you. I'm out of town next Friday but should be in town the week after.

From O'Hare to Naperville it'll run about $50-80 for taxi or limo. I suggest the limo - I think they have to be competitive with taxi rates, and it seems there are more of them running back and forth... not to mention a nicer touch to the ride.
If you're in town after the 14th, lem'me know (PM me). I'm just one town over, we can get a celebration burger. (I could've looked at the car, but I just found this thread and it appears you had it all taken care of)
O'hare to Naperville (home of the soccer mom) isn't that bad. Maybe 20miles or so.

Well, I will know more as we get in this week, but it is looking good at this point. And if it all goes well, I will be flying in late afternoon on Friday, September 9th and heading to the dealership to get the car (they are open until 9:00pm). Then if anyone wants to get together for a bite, I would be up for that. Then planning on finding some place to crash and get on the road Saturday morning to head back to Des Moines.
Well, it is a done deal (or should be). I wired my down payment on Monday and just wired the remaining balance on the car this morning. I am coming to Chicago a week from today to pick the car up.
I will fly in to O'Hare around 6:15pm and head to the dealership from there to pick the car up. I would be up for a get together if anyone wants. The dealership is in Naperville and I don't know my way around that area. Then I am planning on getting on the road Saturday morning to head back to Iowa and enjoy the new car.
Won't be completely happy until I get to the dealership, check the car out in person, sign the papers, get the keys and finally get to drive it and know it is mine and the deal is done.

Well my offer still stands to pick him up from the airport if my car isn't in the shop then.

I don't mean to be a PITA, but get a map and you'll see just how far Naperville is from Midway and O'Hare air ports. Either way, you are in for a ride. Midway is easy to get in and out of, but you are in for an hour drive to Naperville. Form O'hare it's less but still a drive down the tollway.

Checking out MapQuest, it does look like 59 would be the better option as the dealership is on Aurora Ave which seems to intersect with 59. It looks like this dealership is right near the Fox Valley Shopping Center in Naperville.
Well, getting a little ancy to get out there. Sold my Accord and will be doing the transaction with that on Thursday night after work. Then catching a ride to the airport Friday afternoon and getting in to Ohare about 6:15pm (did O'Hare because tickets were much cheaper for direct flight, otherwise to get close to the same price would have spent the entire day flying with 4 or 5 connections). And from there to the dealership.
For those of you that have offered to meet me at the airport, that is greatly appreciated and would be fun, but I defnitely don't expect it. If it works out, great, if not, I will catch a cab to the dealership and just pay the cab fare. Otherwise I would be willing to fork over gas money if someone ended up giving me a ride.
Only a couple more days!!!

IMO the best way to get to the dealership, at that time of day, from O'Hare is to take I294 south to I88 and then take I88 west to Rt59 south. There is construction on I88 and Rt59 an be a bear during rush hours but you should be able to make it in around 1/2 hr.
I'm about 5 minutes from the dealership and I can bring my Marauder or my supercharged Lexus! ;-D
I'm up for picking him up, doing a caravan or just meeting you all there. :beer:
Oh and Congrats on the deal! :bandit:

Sorry for the delay, Joe, I just found your offer.Big Joe P said:
I can't promise anything, I have a lot on my plate this week, both at the office and around the house. I've got the times and places noted, f I can free up some time, I'll catch up with someone where I can, but don't count on me.
Eric, best wishes to you, for a safe journey home.

Plenty to eat in the area depending on what you like. All the major chains are less than a mile west of the dealership and some other great choices are in downtown Naperville about 2 miles away.Eric91Z said:

Downtown is fine is there are some good restaurants. No need to fly in to the area to buy a car and hit a normal chain food restaurant. I will grab those on the way home. As long as I can find 59 south again to get me to I-80, I am fine.
Mac - thanks for the well wishes and I hope you we can meet in person when I am out there Friday night.
Will, I thought I would get this information out there to see what, if anything, will work out for tomorrow evening.
I will be flying in to O'Hare tomorrow (Friday, September 9th), scheduled to arrive at 6:04pm on American Airlines. If people want to meet at the airport and head to the dealership from there and then I dinner afterwards, that would be greatly appreciated. If it does not end up working out, I understand that too.
Here is my cell phone number for tomorrow: 515/450-9005
I hope we can work something out to get together.
