Timing is everything when buying a quality pre-owned vehicle. If you have been waiting for bottom-line pricing, expanded lender approvals, and maximum trade-in value, your window is officially open. Kicking off today, Thursday, September 3rd, and running strictly through 11:59 PM on Tuesday, September 8th, Autos of Chicago is hosting our premier holiday sales event of the season.
Located at 1555 East Rand Road in Arlington Heights, IL, our entire 400+ vehicle inventory has been repriced to move before our mid-month allocation close. Whether you are commuting down Route 53 or shopping from home across the Chicago northwest suburbs, here is your complete guide to claiming special event pricing before the clock hits zero on September 8th.
Why This 6-Day Event Window Delivers Unmatched Value
For this extended sales window (September 3rd through September 8th), our management team has adjusted pricing parameters across all inventory segments. Rather than standard sticker prices, every vehicle features event-specific wholesale-clearing markdowns:
- Lot-Wide Clearance Discounts: From executive German sedans and versatile all-wheel-drive crossovers to commercial haulers, every vehicle in our used car inventory carries aggressive bottom-line holiday pricing.
- Same-Day On-Site Lender Decisions: Representatives from regional credit unions and national lenders are fast-tracking approvals on site. Whether you have prime credit or need flexible terms, read our who can qualify guide to see how easy it is to secure approval.
- 15-Minute Written Trade Appraisals: Our dedicated appraisal lane will evaluate your trade-in and present a guaranteed, written cash buyout in a quarter of an hour. You can even lock in an initial estimate ahead of time with our online trade valuation tool.
- 100% Virtual Buying with Nationwide Transport: Shopping from home or out of state? You don't have to visit the showroom to take advantage of event pricing. Learn how our virtual buying works, book an interactive virtual test drive, and arrange door-to-door delivery via our nationwide shipping service.
