Anyone heard about or tried this?

Interesting.

My riding buddy did this in Dallas. I think the biggest catch was not being to particular too exterior color. I know he started well outside the Dallas metro area and worked his way in.

Same technique as the video other than he visited the top 3 after the calls.

It's funny watching the video... it was like listening to my friend talk about the same thing.

I did the same via email before I got this truck and was considering a F-150. Several did do the "What time would be good for you to come in and discuss?" to which I said I'd come in when we agreed on a out the door price. Most didn't want to play ball, a few did. That went on until I decided I liked the Silverado more, I found a dealer with the exact, exact truck I wanted and went there and ended up doing well I think. So the game can certainly help- the F-150 was still the hot new thing this time last year so it was more in demand. GM had decent incentives at the time and the dealer even more so.
