Don't go to the manufacturer's websites shop around at other dealerships. You may have to go out of state to do it.

I sold cars at one point in my life and it was a miserable existence.
Never take a trade-in to a dealership. That's when you lose all of your leverage and the voodoo and funny stuff kicks in. Sell it yourself and then just use whatever you make of the sale towards the down payment.
Be careful with the Finance & Insurance manager. He's usually the craftiest and slickest person on the lot.

Order your car and work out the details before it even arrives.

I was told by the Houston Lexus dealership they are not allowed to sell outside of their "region". Texas is actually in my region, but its not like I can search nationally for the car.

They wont allow anyone to order a car.
Call them and try to order a car and see what they tell you. I find it mindblowing.

Ok cool. I want a black hybrid with navigation.

I ordered a jeep gladiator last December it took maybe 10 minutes. I got it delivered the following april
I spent about 5 minutes at the dealership just long enough to hand over the check and grab the keys

Wait, there's no frickin cars on the lot, I'll just order one.
Ordered my car in probably less than 5 minutes...though it did take 4 months ot have it delivered.

How does anyone buy a vehicle anymore?

Buy a Tesla most peaceful purchase ever we bought 2. Price plain and simple from the website, order on your phone. Financing, Lease or cash option available. Seamless, also no more gas price foolishness. Charge it at home in your garage at night end up paying $6 per month additional on your electric bill will the EV reduced rates. LIFE CHANGER!!!

Depends on what you consider "order" to be. Outside of the LFA Lexus has never done factory orders. They batch-produce cars. So when you went in and specced your build the dealer was able to find one in the system either built, being built, or in the factory queue. Lexus, as well as all the other Japanese car companies, limit options so factory orders are not really necessary, in the general retail world it is similar to keeping the number of SKUs low and has advantages in efficiency.
