EXTREMELY common for the western region dealers to move cars around among themselves... this way there is no local history, and the new salesmen can honestly say "I know nothing".

The dealership sales managers actually try to give sales reps as little info as they can.

As I understand it, the dealer taking a car in on trade, etc, will toss it up to the local/regional dealers if they do not want it. First dealer to say "i'll take it" gets it.
