Well, I have come to the realization that finding a used 2007 A3 in the Vancouver area (with the options I am looking for) is going to be a long shot.

I didn't want to buy new, however it looks like i maybe having to consider this option. Any positive experiences with Audi dealers in the Lower Mainland? Are the local dealers open to negotiation, or do they follow the same heard as the majority of car manufacturers in Canada?

Those that have recently pulled the trigger on an A3, how much below MRSP where you able get?

FYI: I am interested in a 2007 and newer A3 2.0, manual, S-line, open sky.

Thanks

 

try looking state side dude.
I just imported a 2006 A3 DSG opensky leather for little over 23000
I was having same trouble as you, couldn't find exactly what I was looking for at a decent price.
It's not very hard at all. Once I found it, took little less then two weeks to have it registered and insured in BC
