Priority Huyndai of Chesapeake VA has the car that I need and they are 3 hours away but they refused to sell it to me saying that I am from another state and Huyndai does not allow them to sell to out of state. I understand this is a free economy and dealers can do whatever they want but have anyone seen anything like that from other dealers where Hyundai does not allow a dealer to sell a car?

If he is starting out with a lie, you don't want to deal with him any way
He wants to get paid for the maintenance on the vehicle, low volume dealerships make their profit on the maintenance.
He would find a reason for you to have the oil changed every 3500 miles no matter your driving type.
He maybe doesn't want to go thru the tax and registration hassle with your state.

Check with West Broad Street Hyundai, they were really nice when I was looking. Newport News dealership’s were very nice also. I bought mine from Hyundai of Chesapeake, I’ve never been treated so poorly. I wrote a bad review so…now they told my husband they won’t talk to me..

OK can’t believe Hyundai has anything to do with this, sure sounds like a dealer practice.. Dealers buy the cars so they do own them and then resell to us. Why would Hyundai care where the cars goes, they already sold it..
Actually I heard a person in Canada bought a Palisade in the US which to me that seems more complicated than across state lines..

I purchased a 2022 Calligraphy Edition on February 5th. Though the purchase was in my home state of NC, I was in contact with, and even offered vehicles from other states. I simply went with whomever came up with the color scheme that I wanted the quickest. Had one of the dealerships in one of the other states received the vehicle quicker, I definitely
would have purchased from another state, and those respective dealerships knew I resided in a different state. If that dealership in Va doesn't want your money, take it elsewhere. Their loss.
