Oh, by the way dealer B is an autonation dealer and he sure as hell negotiated!!!
By the way, an interesting point was made above. If dealer A had honored the price given to me over the phone in the first place ($27700) then there wouldn't have been any issue at all and they would have a sale.

Yep. You really worked hard for the best treatment. REALLY hard.
Sending out a shotgun email is a surefire way to end up working with a dipshot salesperson at a dealer that has nothing to offer but price.
And one dealer didn't have it on their lot!? Really!? Because the dealer with the "BEST PRICE" was going to locate one from another lot anyway.
If the first or second were great dealers,
you wouldn't know. And there are three more in your area you could have tried if it were really important to you. It wasn't. Price was.
If you really want to be treated well, *I'll say it again* FIRST choose the salesperson and/or dealership, THEN get them to get the right vehicle at the right price.
