Ellen,
I have absolutely the most wonderful dealer I could ask
for. I would and will sing their praises whenever I get
the chance. But when one is merely shopping and not ready
to purchase, it would be nice to be able to get an idea of
pricing ahead of time without having to be tied
umbilically to the dealer. Will I purchase from my
dealer!?! Of course! Ron and Susie Waldrop, my dealers,
are wonderful people and have impressed me and my church
with the quality of their service. This discussion is no
strike at the dealers. But, a strike for ease of gaining
information.
