Luxury Car Dealership Now Open in Lake Zurich

Midwest Motors sells Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Jaguar and other high-end names.

  Luxury car dealership Midwest Motors has opened in Lake Zurich, despite some opposition from residents.  At a public meeting last summer, some residents said they were concerned with the number of cars parked outside the showroom, and property values.  Owner Benjamin Ripstein, who relocated the dealership from Volo in December of 2012, told the Lake Zurich Courier that most of his inventory is located inside of his showroom, and not outside.

The property has been on the market for the last year-and-a-half and Capaccio Bros. plans to close its doors in the near future.
