Yup, last time, I just started looking for a particular few cars, got by parameters down (desired trim levels, cost limits, etc.) and emailed requesting quotes.

Yup, last time, I just started looking for a particular few cars, got by parameters down (desired trim levels, cost limits, etc.) and emailed requesting quotes. Most wouldn't play, but I found one who was just "yup, this is what we've got, this is how we can configure it... cost is $xyz". After a few rounds of email, maybe a couple tel calls, I had a deal, went there for the first time to pick it up. When my wife needed a new car in the next year or two, guess who we called first? Same no-hassle deal. It's a bit of a drive to get there in the adjacent state, but totally worth it. Edit: Also, we made deals for vehicles they had in stock, not custom-configured from mfgr.
