So, you really cannot close the deal. It is mostly a way to get potential buyers to visit the dealership.
FWIW, three years ago, I had what I consider a good experience that started with contacting dealers over the internet. In today's world, I don't know what would happen, but I'd try it again. I posted about it here... Talk of The Villages post... click here.

P.S. I'm still driving my 2010 Scion.
