Hey there Rabbit.ca; it is a VERY good idea to buy/lease a car in the winter time. During the winter the showroom is so quiet you could hear a cricket fart - no traffic at all. Sales managers are more willing to drop on the price when sales are down for the month. Also, if you order one from scratch and it takes 2-3 months to come in, you can take advantage of buying a car at a time when you'll more than likely get a better deal and then pick up the car near the end of the winter! It's a win-win!
If you want a GTI or a Rabbit, let me know and I'll get you a GREAT price on one.
