After my experience calling, visiting and nearly placing an order at several dealerships I'm thinking that your particular result is possibly because they put people willing to shell out more in front of you. At least that's how the dealers here in CA seem to be working it.
I can't tell you the number of dealers that very literally told me, "We're going to take names and call you back based on the amount each person is willing to pay OVER MSRP"
**** that. ********. If that's how they operate when I'm placing an order, I don't doubt the shenanigans don't end there. They probably line up their orders/allocations based on price paid.
