Small town dealerships rock! (sometimes)

Its okay during my search of the small town dealerships, i had spoken to sales representative at Royal Chevrolet regarding if they get any new cars. To my surprise 2 weeks later the sales representative I spoke with called me early in the morning and offered me a nicely spec'd 2023 2LT HTC at MSRP, and before I could even see it I told him to take a $5000 deposit from me to reserve the car. Things work out nicely at small town dealers sometimes, just for the weather to get better so I can pick up the car.

Why would the dealer not want to be known as a good one?

Basically, they aim to prevent any resellers/flippers from purchasing their Corvette's. From my understanding, they'd rather hold a small list (no more than 10) than a massive one and give false hope about waiting times. For a dealership that has a maximum space of about 6 cars in their showroom, they do well. Out of respect to the dealer, I wouldn't want them to have a "calling frenzy" on their hands, when they are already satisfied with their current wait list. It's a family run business, and I was treated like family throughout the entire process.
