A partial payment held the car until I could get from Seattle to Victoria. Roger picked me up at the Clipper terminal, arranged for the car to have a full tank of gas and detailed. After an extended drive, he sat me down to explain what vehicle history information was available. Specifically the advantages and differences between CarFax and a CarProof vehicle history reports. (As a US citizen you want both when buying a car in Canada.) Included in the negotiated purchase price, Roger provided all the documentation necessary so I could drive the car across the border the same day. He even contacted the Washington State Department of Licensing to ensure all the paperwork to register it here in the US is prepared properly. (I'll update this review when I get the car registered in Washington State.) Greg, their finance manager, walked me through the sales process. He clearly laid out what paperwork is required to show proof of sale, transfer of ownership, and temporary BC insurance and registration. My friend, who purchased a car several months prior, commented that this process was simple, straightforward and hassle free. The dealership is transparent, honest and open. Crossing the border was a breeze. The documentation worked flawlessly. US Customs and Border Protection inspected the vehicle and documentation. I was at the border crossing for about 30 minutes. If/when I'm in the market for another car, Victoria Premium Auto will get a look should the exchange still be in the US's favor.

Part of his sales pitch was that they were the only ones he had ready to go - all other choices would have to be brought in. I went back at the appointed pick up time and the car was not ready. The reason, Bob said, was that it took longer than expected to get the tires in. I felt like, to him, I was just another sucker to be played. -------------------- The next day.... After this review was posted I got a call from Dennis, the manager at Victoria Toyota.

She was the one there to buy a car not me. Amazingly sexist, rude and inappropriate. And his name - Moe Hamdan - please talk with others if you do still go to this dealership.

BUT,…read morethey sold me an "additional warranty" for wheel rims and tires, the finance manager, who sold me the $700 policy, stated that it would cover cosmetic damage, i.e. road rash, the policy states tires and cosmetic damage. The service manager now tells me the insurer won't honour the claim, the fine print states that the tire must be damaged and the wheel. Despite the severe scraping from running into a curb, the rim is NOT covered. At the time I agreed to this additional insurance I specifically asked whether this type of damage would be covered and was told "definitely". I blame myself for not reading the fine print at the time and trusting the dealer's representative. My advice, do not buy additional coverage from this dealer, it's a total waste of $ and just lines their pockets. Last tim I buy a car from them.

It's always a good idea to try to negotiate a price over email before walking into the dealership, since doing it in person is an enormous time suck, unless you're a masochist who likes playing negotiation games with car dealers. Nelson and Elmano @ Graham Kia were the only ones who were straightforward, providing me with a detailed breakdown of the pricing right away and even throwing in added discounts, even before I started negotiating. The other two dealers were less transparent and were more interested in getting me into the dealership to talk in person.... Thanks, but no thanks. It was relatively painless for my mother-in-law to walk in, sign the papers, and drive away with her new car. The only pain point was that their finance department added an unexpected $497 "Placement fee", but as soon as I pointed it out to them a few days later, they sent us a cheque to compensate us. Overall, Nelson and Elmano are straight shooters and easy to deal with. If you're in the market for a Kia and don't want to waste hours at the negotiating table, I highly recommend them.
