Vancouver Car Crisis!

Hey folks!

So, stoked to start my new job here in Vancouver in 25 days… but uh, tiny problem—I need a car ASAP and have ZERO prep done. 😅 My job requires one, and I’m stuck between panic-googling dealerships and drowning in "where do I even start?!" vibes.

I’m looking for recommendations on good, legit dealerships in Vancouver or nearby (Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey—you name it). I’d rather avoid private sellers/FB Marketplace since I need to finance and don’t wanna risk sketchy surprises. Who’s got a positive experience with a dealership that didn’t make them feel like they were starring in a used-car-salesman meme?

Right now, I’m only considering official dealerships (Honda, Hyundai, Toyota) to play it safe.

Edit : I’m searching for a used sedan priced around $10k-12k (a bit over is okay). Evo car share won’t work—my job’s outside their coverage zone and transit isn’t feasible due to the distance
