To use data session arg I usually have a check at the top of the page that
saves it in a scratch variable if it is not empty. On other relevant pages
I then use the scratch var.

e.g.:
[if type="session" term="arg"]
[set name="dealer" interpolate=1][data session arg][/set]
[/if]

this way you won't have to mess with the code and don't get bitten by updates.

cheers, Frank
