re: Ordering a vehicle from factory

Any dealer will do a factory order for you, it is actually cheaper for them to do it. Factory ordered cars will not sit on the lot, so it works out great for them.
i purchased a car in December, but before doing so, i inquired with 2 different manufacturers about having a car special ordered.
I had always heard that you dont get a discount when placing an order, and that was 100% wrong (at least in regard to the 2 different manufacturers i looked at). i learned that dealerships have a specific allotment of different models coming to them throughout the year, so when you order a car, they just look in the database for the next car that's in their allotment, and if it hasnt been produced yet, they put in the specs you want. So, it's a car that would end up on their lot anyway, but by customizing it for you, they've guaranteed a sale, and the car doesnt take up space on the lot.
that said, if they have a car on their lot that's been there for a while and they absolutely need to move, that's where you get the best deal.

True. This is where do you want the car you want or to save more money.
Using the affiliate program is great and simple and you do get 1% under invoice (not MSRP) without doing any negotiating and it is good for cars on the lot or a factory order from any Dodge dealer in the country. If the dealer does not accept it, just inform them you will let FCA know.
Finding a volume dealer is better though. My last Jeep I got 5% under invoice on a factory order. No negotiating really, they try to sell as many as possible to get kickbacks from FCA.

Yeah, you can get some nice deals that way. I order my cars because I'm willing to wait for exactly what I want. However, the last car I bought was off of a lot. When the salesman and I sat down to work out the order and the details, he ran my options list through the manufacturer's inventory database and there was exactly one car in the country that met all my specs, it was 300 miles away, and it had been on it's dealership's lot for six months.
The salesman I worked with took his cut for putting together a motivated buyer with a motivated seller and I ended up with the exact car I wanted in three days and for MANY thousands of dollars less than I'd expected to pay.
I wish that would happen more often.
