Early Nov of '03 I wanted a PT Cruiser, GT, Electric Blue, Chrome wheels, etc, etc. Went on the Chrysler web site and picked everything out. Hit the button to see what dealers had what. Hit the button to solicit offers. Videon emailed they didn't have what I wanted but would order it. Brandywine had it and came back with a firm deal. Every other dealer emailed me bullshit that sounded like the quintessential "car dealer".
On the way to Brandywine I stopped at an unamed dealer near 202 and 1. They had one but with a lot less equipment. I asked the price and was told msrp because "nobodies got these". I told him Brandywine had one with more equiptment and gave him the quoted price. He said he needed to talk to the manager. Came back in 2 minutes and demanded my name, address and phone number. I said never mind I'll just go to Brandywine. He said "go ahead, if you want to deal with a discount dealer". I did.
