Is it better to buy a car from a dealer's lot or order one to meet the exact specifications I want?
If you can find a car that matches or comes close to what
you want on the dealer's lot, you may be able to save some
money. A dealer must pay a lot to maintain the cars on the
lot, and therefore, wants to sell his stock before ordering
a car. You may be able to negotiate a better deal if you
purchase a car from the inventory. You may have to pay a
little extra to have a car ordered, and you will probably
have to wait six to eight weeks. If you do choose to order
your car, be sure to carefully read through the order form
before signing so you know exactly what you are buying.
