You work hard to find the right car, correct? Put some effort into finding the right place to buy it. We all understand the value of a good Realtor. A good dealer is just as important. Ask around. Visit their websites. Read their ads. Visit their facilities. Look at their awards. Look at their service lanes and look at their pricing.
Dealerships are different. The cars are not (if new).

I'm surprised you are offended by the email method, most commentators I have read say it is the best way to get a good price without all the dealership hassle and games. Of course, the dealers hate it!

I didn't say I was offended..... it's just a lame (dare I say cowardly?) way of doing it. You want to put forth very little effort buying a car, but expect them to put in lots of effort for very little return. If you DO buy a car from them, it will be a nothing deal, and the odds of you ever returning or referring are next to nothing. But the odds of never hearing from you again are even greater. Which is why the greenest of green salespeople get those leads. They may answer 50 of those emails with their best price and not hear back from one. Not exaggerating.

The Internet manager I dealt with at dealer B was great to work with and he will be my first call next time.

Awesome! Glad you found someone you liked. Next time do your homework and give him the opportunity to earn your business. And tell your friends and colleagues about him.
