I would never buy an Audi in Vancouver if Audi kept those attitude ! | who was the person that helped you?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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'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.
