What are the benefits of pre-ordering your vehicle?

The last time you bought a vehicle, did you get the color you wanted? The features you wanted? Or did you just take one that was available on the dealer’s lot?

Maybe you know precisely what you’re looking for. But you’ve searched every dealership for miles around and not found the car or truck that meets all your wants and wishes.

You don’t have to settle for a car or truck that is “good enough.” When you pre-order, you can have your vehicle put together exactly the way that suits your desires.

Why Pre-order a Vehicle?

When you pre-order, you specify in detail the vehicle you’re going to get.

• You pay only for the features you want and not for the ones you don’t want. It’s tough to find a vehicle on the lot that matches this test. A standard package may lack some options you have your heart set on and include others you don’t care about.
• Dealers stock the vehicles that have the broadest appeal: the most popular colors and packages of features. If your tastes stand out from the crowd, you may have to pre-order to get what you want. For example, black, white and silver cars are easy to find. If you prefer a color such as brown or green, even if it’s a standard manufacturer’s option, those colors may be in shorter supply. The ones that are available may not be equipped the way you’d like them.
• Vehicles in general are in short supply. Thanks to the global microchip shortage, dealer inventory is lower than it’s been in a long time. Pre-ordering expands your choices beyond what’s on the lot.
• You have the satisfaction of seeing your ideas and tastes come to life in a real live personalized machine you’ll drive every day. You’ve played that car-spec game where you swap features in and out until the result is just right. With pre-ordering you win that game!
• You’re less likely to impulse buy and wind up wishing there was something else sitting in your driveway.

How Long Will It Take To Get My Vehicle?

A typical wait time is about eight weeks for a car built in the US. European cars take closer to 90 days. Most Japanese cars do not allow special ordering, but a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram from Sunland Park is always on the pre-order menu.

Is it worth the wait? If you’re like most people, you’ll keep that vehicle five years or more. For some people, years of satisfaction trump a few weeks of waiting.

Will I Have To Pay List Price?

Not necessarily. Prices are negotiable, the same as with vehicles that are already on the lot. Remember that pre-ordering saves the dealer a little money. They don’t have to pay insurance, lot fees and carrying fees for a car or truck that’s sitting on the lot waiting for the right buyer to come along.

You can also take advantage of manufacturer incentives and deals, although they generally won’t be applied until the vehicle actually arrives at the dealership.

Can I Order a Leased Vehicle?

Yes, you can. If you’re currently leasing, you can time the pre-order so that the new vehicle arrives right when the old lease expires. If you’re not leasing, you’ll know exactly when you need to sell your old car.

What If I Change My Mind?

You’re not committed to the vehicle until you pick it up and sign your paperwork. You may have to pay a deposit for your pre-order, but in many cases the deposit is refunded if you opt out.
