I totally understand that not all sales folks are snakes

. For Subarus I know which dealers to go to, which to avoid, but I've never bought a new GM car. I was having bad luck on finding anyone around here who even knew what a 1LE was. Lots of old-style dealer runaround, and in the Internet Age I've got no tolerance for that

.
I've been jonesin' pretty hard for this car and I was quite impatient last week, so after a multi-day fruitless conversation with Carr (well, okay, I did finally get a quote on the car, so I guess it wasn't entirely fruitless, just really slow and frustrating) I talked with Becky and I have an order through her. Constraints are really tight on the 1LE parts (11 last week, 0 this week) but maybe I got in on the tail end of last week because my order jumped directly from 1100 to 3000.
So next time, Jeff

. At the least we now have some info for the next time someone around here needs a quality recommendation. I'm in Portland so it would be a little bit of a drive to get up to Puyallup but I'd do it in a heartbeat just to deal with someone sane.
