...ordered a new car from the factory?
i'm in the market for a new car...well, suv actually. the one i want is rarely ever in stock. suckers are selling like hot cakes, as the kids say these days. they're just not being built fast enough to satisfy demand.
plus i want certain features and shit and don't want to settle for something that's not quite what i want. talked to a sales manager and he said people are test driving whatever is in stock and then just ordering their specific vehicle from the factory.
so has anyone does this? any advice? can you negotiate the price buying this way? how long does it take to get delivered? what kind of deposit did you put down? yada? yada? and, yada?
help a juggler out. many thanks in advance.

When I first read it I thought you meant picking the car up directly from the factory, which you can only do with cars like Ferraris, BMW's and Bugattis.

right.....ha, i wish i was in the market for a ferrari
interesting. alas, i do not possess an amex card.
how long was the wait?
I had all sorts of replies like, "Just once, but I was pretty drunk" and "I was experimenting" and "yes, but I was a juvenile so the records are sealed."
Regarding cars, I am a total sucker and I am completely taken advantage of every time.
the last part of your last sentence is a tease too.
Well played, sir!
:oops:
Corvettes as well.
imo, if you have to order it from the factory, it's going to be tougher to get a good deal....let me check with a guy a know that works at a dealer.
cool thanks man
It was a foreign car so maybe that had something to do with it
Maybe american cars would be quicker from the Factory ?

not sure. some sites have said its about 4-6 weeks. how long was yours?
did you like buying a car like this? was your price negotiable?
Yeah..it took almost 2 months to get it
I liked it because I didnt feel like I was settling or just taking what they had on the lot
We worked the price before the order was placed...not much movement with foreign cars but they did move on the price

i was thinking more of the meusum deliever option, which gets you a special tour of the factory and muesum.

here is the info i got from the ford guy i know. he works at a ford dealer down in texas.
1. There isn't going to be a ton of negotiating, because they're selling as fast as they hit the ground.
2. Normally it takes 8-10 weeks to order something, but the Explorer is more than 50% behind right now.
3. Down payment is up to the dealer, they'll most likely have to sign a promissory, but may not since it is a hot seller.
jesus. 8-10 weeks?
i really appreciate the info man. thanks for checking.
So thats what that is. I passed by that place a bunch of times visiting my sis in tennesee.

anywho......my next question is, has anyone ever traded in a car while the check engine light is on? :?
pray it doesn't come back on.
Sold cars for a year and I would never buy a new car. The depreciation when you drive that sucker off the lot just kills me. I like to buy cars or trucks that are a year or two old from private party sellers. Just my two cents...
financially i agree about used. however, i doubt i will ever buy used again. there is something special about driving a brand new car for the first time. i also drive cars until they die, so it's not so bad.
i don't drive cars until they die, but i agree with you. everyone keeps telling me to buy used for the reasons mentioned above. i just don't want someone's old car....
now about this service engine light... :think:
could be a cheap fix.
IMO, you will get hammered on trade in with a light on.
may want to also sell private party and make a few extra bucks on it.
yeah, i just want to get rid of it asap. private party would take a while.
auto zone might be a good idea. i know it's a transmission problem though.....
remember, always buy manual transmissions. the are so less troublesome over the life of the car.
