went in the dealership with a few thousand dollar cash, looking to put down a deposit for the A4 wagon, salesperson told us to go back in a year and walked away.
So, we headed ovre the street to Richmond Mercedes and Patrick gave the best service ever. We got about 6 Mercedes in the past 9 years from him. The newest member is the 2010' GLK350 parking in the garage now !
I would never buy an Audi in Vancouver if Audi kept those attitude !
who was the person that helped you?

He bought a used 135i from George there. Test drive was good, allowed plenty of time, and price haggling wasn't too bad (got $2k off the listed price off the bat, and another $1k after).

Car was looked after, even got the staff to do a repolish of the car twice cause there were a couple of minor imperfections (black car too).

Filled the car with a full tank of gas before he picked it up, and even came in on his off day to deliver it.

Most of the time it's the people you deal with, rather than the dealership that is unpleasant.

Openroad has a reputation to keep, therefore if there are any issues, I would write an email to their complaints dept.
So that's who got the 135i. It was a nice combo, black on black 6spd with M-pkg. Less then 10k too.

Your friend got it for a steal.

i went in there asking for information on S5 and the first thing the sales guy said was, no S5, all sold out... come back in 2 years. then i said to him... ok thats fine, BMW next door have tons of M3. I'll just go for those instead then.
He was right. The S5 is sold out for a while.

Do you honestly think he doesn't want to sell you a car and make some money? Get your head out of your ass.

I don't remember, description probably doesnt really help - middle age asian guy, dressed causally, black frame glasses, he might have introduced himself as the sales manager but i'm not positive.
But well, audi in Asia countries have better service than Vancouver.... But Mercedes made the best choice of having good sales person there !

90% of buyers for BMW / Mercedes / Audi could care less how a car drives, but the prestiege they will have with that hood ornament


i wouldn't take it personally....but its the nameplate that sells to a majority of consumers

agreed

3 series is a piece of shit. Literally. I laugh at anyone who buys a 323i instead of a fully loaded accord, civic, corolla, maxima whatever.

Jeremy clarkson was right, people who buy a 3 series have 0 imagination.

i agree that 323i is a piece of crap, but 328 is not bad, and 335 is a whole different story

Kalize 02-22-2009 04:25 PM

you can't compare a 323 to a fully loaded corolla or civic, that's silly, but i see and agree with your point for the most part

no kidding.

it may be a bit different, but a friend and I went in to Honda to look at a new Fit. He's 23 and I'm 21. He was the one that would be buying it, and called ahead... said he would like to take one for a spin. They basically threw us the keys and said have fun.

Sure, it's Honda... and for a car worth a lot less, but if you would have asked I'm sure your "middle aged boss" and you the "young asian guy" would have been let out alone.

yeah but a fully loaded civic = 23k?

a base 323i is 32k.

they are the same car (compact sedan) and don't say it isn't because "compact exec" is a marketing term, just like when they say "it's a class of its own"

I didn't ask, but they were pretty strict about everything. I don't think they would have let us.

that's fine, we took delivery of the 2010 GLK350 already. Patrick @ Richmond Mercedes did a terrific job of accomodating customers ! :thumbsup:
I'll look for a tall white guy next time if i'm seriously looking for an Audi. But the chances is slim. However, I'll be tagging along with my friend tomorrow to take deliver of her A5 tomorrow which she waited for 9 months for this car.
