I ended up ordering it from Jerry's Chevrolet in Beresford, SD and for $250 processing fee had it delivered to the dealer that wouldn't sell to me. Jerry's didn't make much on the car, but it earned them one more allocation the next year.
You can check vehicle specific forums for the model you are interested in to see what dealers are marking up.
