When I began shopping for what I wanted, I had found a handful of them around the city. Test drove a few at various dealerships and went back to Laurie O at Gateway because of the great experience there -- he was very knowledgable, straightforward and took time to answer questions.

I don't shop for a vehicle very often, and really dislike/despise the process. Going to different Edmonton dealerships was definitely an eye-opener ! Some sales reps (not at Gateway) were stunningly horrible... would say anything to make a sale, were condescending and contradictory, and even misrepresented some water/mold damage to one vehicle... also high pressure, using every tactic in the Car Sales 101 book. Gag! (Anyone remember Herb Tarlek from "WKRP"? Lol. He's alive in Edmonton!)

Anyway, not to be too negative... but wish I could have saved a lot of time/energy and just dealt with Gateway, Laurie O and the manager Jeff instead of hopping around the city.

In my experience, dealing with Gateway ended up being an easy and actually enjoyable process -- no pressure, they were reasonable, and I got a really great new-to-me vehicle at a fair price. I hope this review helps someone get a good vehicle, the easier way.
