several times I and some others I know have checked with dave smith over the years. Every time a local dealer either beat his price or was close enough it wasn't worth the drive. In fact my current truck was purchased from a local dealer. I had specific items on my list including a color that was in short supply at the time. Local dealer beat dave smiths price. The truck came from Dave Smith. The paperwork in the glovebox showed initial delivery to Dave smith. Truck had 15 miles on it so it had been trucked from Dave smith to the local dealer.
When we drive by Dave smith on our way to Montana he has a huge inventory spread over several miles. Or at least did a year ago during our last trip
