They, along with Velocity, typically only sell R grade junk anyway so it's no surprise...

This goes for any "importer". If you really want an import you're best being patient and working with a real importer to get exactly what you want direct from auction and shipped to you.
Applewoods whole bit seems to be exploiting people with poor impulse control into cars they can't afford at horrible interest rates. Like charging a premium for low grade imports or offering financing on private car sales like they do all the time (who tf thinks that's a good idea?).

Key is being able to finance in house.
It will always be easier and cheaper to just source and buy it yourself.
But people have poor impulse control and need that flex now, not 3 months from now.

Applewood always offers Lifetime warranty on Engine etc, but I wonder what's the terms & conditions.

The guy who does the importing at Applewood claims he gets called regularly by ICBC to give valuations on rare JDM cars when they are in accidents and makes it like he does the car community so many favours... looks like a total douchebag with his tattoos and skinny ass jeans.

Honestly he does seem to do a lot of things for the community. I don’t think people always need to be shouting it from the rooftops, but maybe he does if people think he’s a douche because of his tattoos and his pants?

Any dealership that masks it’s true purpose with a brand name is shady af
Applewood Kia is one, they don’t give a shit about selling any Kia vehicles it’s just a front to make them look more legitimate.
The “Mitsubishi” dealership on Clark Dr is another... nobody buys Mitsubishi’s anymore it’s just a front for flipping high end used cars with shady history and looking much more legitimate than “Clark Dr Luxury Cars” or some other name.

They also pretended to have an Altezza giveaway to get a bunch of fake reviews.

Pressure sales tactics.
I went to their Nissan to ask about a clear coat defect on the wing of my old GTR and was swarmed by 3 of their sales staff as I was walking to the service door.
it was scary. the real annoying bit was first question was if I was here to buy something today. like now today.
it felt greasy if not worse than most of the local Dodge Chrysler stores.
