Not Capilano, they don't give deals and I didn't like the salesman.

I would have to guess Cowell VW in richmond, but not speaking from experience. Why a VW?

no to cowell. i've written about it before and i won't post it again. maybe try clarkdale, but i only know the service department and not sales... westminster vw is now regency but the salesperson i bought from there (haulin oats on RS) left after the dealership was sold so i don't know what's going on over there anymore

westminster is the best one for deals
leo is the guy to talk to
bought couple vws and got almost cost on the first one cuz it was the last one of the model year
then when i traded it in for a gli after owning it for a year
they gave me full price what i paid a year earlier for trade in
though i had to pay retail for the gli but still a killer deal nonetheless

As I have said go to dubberz.com. that's where most local dubberz hangs out and you can find plenty of info on the dealerships. Quote:

leo is a great guy, my gf and i traded in a car for a gti, we wanted a 5 door, but since the last one is gone, we ended up with a choice of a 2 door, so in the end he got me a sport package and monster mat...real great guy
and as a matter of fact, he and his buddy also own a shop that could get u winter tires at a cheap price as well~
as for the dealership itself, service is good with reasonable price....just 1 thing tho, avoid the other asian sales in there

For Westminster/Regency, ask for Steve in Finance (that's Haulin Oats).

Went to Cowell years ago like back in 06.
Was looking at a Jetta, and kept asking for help.. and nobody helped. We were ready to buy the damn car but they failed.
Ended up getting a 06 Civic 4dr EX for less than whatever the fuck they listed the mid-range Jettaor whatever they did for at Cowell.
I basically did all the work. I personally sold the family on the car.. and all that we were looking for was some help with specifics and stuff. Got ZERO help. It was the same story at the one on Main St.
