Not apples to apples but we bought our '02 Vette over the phone
and internet, bought our '03 CR-V over the internet and...
when we bought our '01 X5 way back in September 2001,
we bought it from a semi-local dlr who found the exact car
we wanted, 5 states away.

The selling dealer and I came to agreement on price, (including
a trade-in), and the selling dealer had it shipped from NC to
NJ and delivered to us...no sweat, no probs.

That was then...my guess is your local stlr simply refuses to
do that "search/reciprocity" angle because he is sitting on
inventory he doubts he can move before the next Ice Age.
Thus, he wants no part of a transfer sale that does not
move a unit off his floor plan.
