Carol Beigel posted a heartfelt message on this topic yesterday, focused on what we have to lose by failing to support a good local dealer. Her points were well taken here. In the case that a good local dealer is available, I'm all for supporting that dealer, and I'm willing to pay a reasonable price to do so. Many of us have shopped around for dealers because our local dealers didn't seem so hot. The dealer in my area never showed much interest in me when I visited the shop with intent to purchase, so why would I expect that I'd get superior service after the sale? Meta Brown
