Dealership went silent when I said I wouldn't come in person before receiving a quote

This means I just move on, right? God I hate buying a car.

What do you want to do with the information? Their sales model is built on your coming into the dealership. Why would they quote you so you can take that information and price shop? And yes, it sucks.

There is no need for me to go in. I've already driven the car and know the trim I want and the colors that I deem acceptable. I'm going to buy it from the dealership with the best price. If they don't want to play ball on pricing (totally their choice) no need to waste either of our time. I just think they were responding to my emails instaneously until I said I wouldn't come in without pricing first. Then, crickets.

They are delusional if they think people don't price shop, and other dealerships are willing to operate in that model.

Yes, you move on. If you are given a price from someone else, you can always ask the dealership if they can beat it.

Yup! Move on to one that doesn't play as many games.

I am not sure why you were even moved to ask this question here. They don’t want you wasting their time. Why do you tolerate them wasting yours? And with this post, why did you just waste mine? My time is more important than all of y’all’s.

Yes, keep calling around. You'll find a sales person whose willing to talk to you. Focus on "out the door cost" and don't answer any questions about how you are paying.

Then ask them to email the quote to you.

That one doesn’t want to compete by pricing, move on

The whole dealership model is a scam.
