Dave smith is able to do orders that most dealers can't since they apparently are also an "upfitter". What does that mean, he can spec orders that are not available to other dealers. That may include deleting things that are normally std. For example he can and does order GMC denalis w/o the factory spray in liner that is listed as std. and only available as a delete option t upfitters. so, that' nice if you don't want the factory spray in liner, but if you were expecting it, and don't look carefully, you may be in for a suprise. he also often orders vehicles with wheel packages that are a "credit" option. Again, nice if you don't want factory wheels, but not so nice if that was what you were expecting.
Now, when we went looking for a 2015 Denali, I didn't want the factory spray in liner, nor did I like the std wheels and wanted the 20" forged wheels that are a $400 credit.
Local dealer was within a few hundred $$ of Dave smith. Guess what dealer originally ordered it. Dave smith. Hardly could have driven over to Idaho for the savings,and it would have taken two days of driving and a motel. He had it trucked over in two days, with 15 miles on the odo.
