I really wish they would make it easier to buy online. It seems vehicle sales are very reluctant to go this way despite just every other retailer doing it.
I made it explicitly clear in my email that I wasn't going to go down in person until it was time to sign the documents and drive away. You are right though, I only got responses from about 40% of dealerships, but that was more than enough to get some competitive quotes.
