I had to sign a sales contract before they'd make the deal but I had one last opportunity to say no when they actually took delivery of the car. If it wasn't what I wanted, for any reason at all, I could back out and not be out anything other than the good will of the dealership.
Actually, they tried to get a car from Oregon, which is close...it had sold. Anything from across the country isn't really worth them doing any shipping, and so I had to deal with those dealerships directly.

My dealer her in Seattle basically just pointed me in the right direction.
