Best way to buy a car. Factory order or Lot inventory?

[@darrylwilliams2216]

I factory ordered a 2020 F150 in July 2020. When the truck arrived in mid September I received extra incentives that became available at the time of delivery. When it was all said and done I received a $10,000 reduction from sticker price.

@Edwin Aponte how?? How I did mine. I just went to the Nissan Factory in Tennessee and just simply purchased my 2016 Nissan Frontier Pro4X 4.0L V6 6 Speed manual transmission. I only got mine for $29,000 No hidden fees, no other charges and NO BULLSHIT! same thing that I did on my Ford 2018 F-150 V8 basic model single cab long bed, in Ford dealer with Cheating Salesman it will cost me $36K but in the Ford Assembly Plant they only gave the truck to me for $24K

[@twinbee4243]

@Edwin Aponte I paid mine with cash. That's why I got them straight to the point. No bullshit. The thing that makes the dealer and salesman makes a lot of money out of people is because of the higher interest rates and other bullshit fees. And they're your credit score also before you can even get a vehicle. In my case I didn't gave a damn about my credit score because I know it's bad. Because I don't like loans and making loans and credit cards it's been my principle my whole life that when I don't have money to pay then don't buy it. It's just happened that I got money and cash that time and I purchased the vehicle on cash. At least they're both paid off full on cash and I have no obligations like credits or loan some shit.

The biggest thing here is picking your dealership ... when I special ordered my Mustang I specifically went to a Ford dealership that does a lot of truck/fleet sales. They had allocation to put the order in immediately and an excellent relationship with the manufacturer to let me know exactly what was going on with the build. They negotiated price up front, stood by it when the vehicle came in and made sure I received all available rebates.

This video and advice is spot on. 100%. I ordered a new Mercedes 2020 GLE 450 SUV last year. I built it on the website. I spoke to several dealers and asked how much would they charge me for this build. I got a very fair deal about 6.5% off MSRP. 12 weeks later, I got the car. And when i went to pick it up, they had a great deal if I finance through them: 2.99% PLUS first payment off. I took it.

[@rustynail7866]

I can't believe you can order what you want. Everything comes in packages, now. If you you want something specific, you'll have to buy it with 8 other things. Some cars don't even offer the color you want without buying the "limited" version.

[@georgeadcock2347]

Exactly

[@Harry-zz2oh]

So darn true. The worst part now is some dealerships are telling people they will have to pay a surcharge to order from the factory. For example, two different Ford dealers I talked with were charging a surcharge of $3,000 to $5,000 plus the "dealer" adds like tinting, etching, etc. One dealer was charging a non-refundable $1,000 to order a vehicle. After talking with eight Ford dealers, I was able to order the truck I wanted. I ordered in October, 2021 but it might show up sometime in the next 90 days. Of course, Ford dropped the one color I wanted so I'm somewhat stuck with the new colors they have. I don't know if they have increased the prices yet but I sure hope not. I'll just wait and see.

I have ordered 2 of the last 3 BMW's I bought. In each case, they told me I would get the better of the incentive and financing programs in place the day I signed the order or the day I picked it up....and they honored it. Negotiating the price was straightforward. In both cases, it did take a few weeks as both were built in Germany. In one of the two cases, the factory screwed up the order and built the car with the wrong color interior, so they had to build it again. The dealership took care of me for the inconvenience. I've also bought off the lot, when they had exactly what I was looking for. If you are open to maybe not getting exactly what you want, buy off the lot. If you want what you want, order it.

THANK YOU! I've done my research, I know what I want, and I've gone shopping and no dealership in 400 miles has what I want. I went to three local dealerships (Albuquerque) and one of them wanted to charge me $7000 to special order my truck. Luckily, I was prepared and I'm in no rush so I went to the next dealership and they said the exact same thing you did in your video. I've ordered my truck the way I want it and they've already given me an out-the-door price which is exactly the price I was expecting. I was worried that I might still be doing something wrong or going to get ripped off somehow but you've reassured me that I'm on the right track.

[@jayflis3194]

This was a great video I'm happy to hear it worked for someone because I'm in the same boat and want to order my new vehicle. So how did you ask them for the best price? I mean if you did your research like me you went on the website build your vehicle and got the price they were offering with rebates. How did you present to them about what's the best price they can give you? Did you tell them you already went on and built and you know how much the MSRP is for this vehicle? Any info would be great Thank you.

[@TechnoCritter]

@@jayflis3194 After you build your vehicle on Chevy's website, you can request a quote and the web page will email up to three dealers with your request. This put me in contact with the dealers via email. I did everything over email so I have their words in writing to refer to later. I didn't tell them I was talking to other dealers up front, though. I let them go through their salesman routine and see what they'd do. One of them tried to rip me off immediately, one of them dragged their feet too long, and one looked at my build, told me the out the door price (estimate for now, until the truck arrives for sale) and ordered the truck that day. I did have to put a $1k deposit down. And they were up front that it could take 6-8 weeks for it to arrive. I'm still keeping my guard up for any fees tacked on to the sales price, but they seem pretty straight forward for now. We'll see how they do @lhmcasachevrolet .

It depends on what you want. Dealers tend to order cars higher trim which is higher profit. I find if I configure at a manufacturers website it's cheaper than what is particularly sold on the lot, but that's configured how I like it.

If dealerships only made 2% they would not be selling vehicles, just like they tell you that a gas station only makes 2 cents a gallon just ridiculous it would not pay for the electricity to pump the gas.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

I think some further clarification on the term "Drop Ship" would be helpful. GM will let you buy a car from a dealer in Kentucky and you live in California. If both dealers agree the car can be shipped from the factory to the California dealer without additional cost. Your $1095 delivery charge covers delivery to California. I think that is an awesome policy for the consumer. Some dealers refuse to sell certain cars for MSRP. You could buy a car remotely and still get it locally at no additional cost. Drop shipping if I understand it correctly would cost you $1500 out of pocket plus the $1095 delivery charge from the factory to get the car from your selling dealer to you. My question is does the local delivery dealer get anything to prep or PDI the car from the factory or the selling dealer.

Also when I bought my 89 Mazda 323 hatchback compnaies like Mazda would allocate so many of each model in a particular color to the dealer and that was that. I do not know if they still do this. Today it seems that in the name of efficeny most vehicles are not ordered by the customer. Most of what is now standard such as ac, power windows, rear window defrosters with the wires embeded in the glass were optional. Automatic transmissions were an option.

My concern is they are going to try and hit me with those dealer costs that I've seen in other videos. Also like I said my credit is pretty bad but I plan on putting a good amount of money down on the car. My girlfriend told me I'm over thinking all of this and it's going to be fine but 60k for a car is a lot of money and I'm not trying to end up with regrets

[@dennissvitak5475]

If you order a car, you are paying full MSRP, giving them money early, AND are at the mercy of every little bullshit charge that they want to tack on. You have MUCH more leverage on a car on the lot, that the DEALER is paying interest on.

[@dukegrapewin9440]

BULLSHIT. You negotiate like any other car, you sign and pay when you drive it home, and if the price is any different than what you agreed upon, you walk away.

[@Alexi7666]

Ordering a car is for the stupidly rich. Picking that lot rascal that's been sitting for a couple months is your best buy. Unless you absolutely, positively have to have that shade of red/blue/yellow.

[@alejandrogonzalez5326]

Thanks man. Just started saving for my dream truck dodge ram laramie 2500 turbo diesel.

[@stevecooper8121]

I would buy a car from you.I live in Johnson city TN and have been looking for a month around this area.Some of the dealers around this area probably were incarcerated at one time. I'm 54 years young and these shady people think I have a 2nd grade education. I've looked at your website at your inventory and nothing yet but I have patience. Love your videos.

[@622wesc]

Dude..... I want to buy my next truck from you just because of the value I get from your videos. 3/4t, extended cab, 4x4, long bed. Anything but white.

[@tndoug307]

Don't know about others, but Chrysler/Stellantis offer whatever current rebates are in effect at time sold order vehicle is delivered at selling dealership. Could save big!

[@robertaustin3676]

I want a c8 but the dealers in my area are the crap dealers with Mark ups that are stupid.. 30k market adjustment 129k for a 90k car...

[@saldridge92]

I’m working on ordering a 21 or 22 Sierra SLT in October. Thanks for the info!

[@robertgoss4842]

We got T-boned in our beloved Camray, no one hurt. But we have found that used car prices are now higher than a cat's back, and climbing. Can you (1) Explain the high prices and (2) Talk about sources for the most reliable information on used cars. By the way, I really enjoy your programs, and I just subscribed.

[@raymondhansen8502]

Great video Mike, very informative. 👍

[@davidfleishman2275]

I went to my local Chevy dealer to order a 2018 3500 HD 6.0l gas.Two door regular cab.The first hour was spent by the manager to get me to buy off the lot.Only 3500 HD diesel 4 doors not in my colour.Finally asked if I could order a truck or I am gone.I got to order my truck.

[@templarlord5386]

Literally had two different dealerships refuse to special order my vehicle because of coronavirus. Kentucky looks better with each passing day!

[@darrylgrace401]

Plan on ordering. About a month ago a salesman said come order one. At least two dealerships has told me too. I went to or talk to two dealerships got invoices from two dealerships I asked one what is this $2,500 they had some locked in fees. Wheel locks are $75 from GMC they wanted $440 bull. Windows tint another $339 then 300 said I can get discounts from other gmc dealerships bull. $160 for oil change bull again.

[@jennifernoel581]

Dealerships add their name in some sort or fashion on the back of most vehicles for advertisement. We should get an advertisement credit for having that on the back of vehicles.

[@tonybeef1142]

I bought both my Hondas and told them .NO dealer stickers on the vehicle. They didn't like it ...but they did it.

[@phillipgarrow2297]

I do a lot of research I have a list of what I want or will not do without including color. I found one on the lot that had everything I wanted plus more I was looking for racing yellow at least 2Lt with Z51 I found a 3lt Z51 with the manual transmission I wanted yellow it has magnetic ride control all the options I've never seen a corvette with yellow stitching in the interior this one has it

[@forgotmylogininfo]

Thanks to GM's bundling of options, it is hard to get exactly what I want. Usually something I want requires XYZ package that will usually have at least 2 ( usually more) options I DON'T want

[@jayflis3194]

I feel you on that. Love being able to pick what I want in a new vehicle but there are some things I don't need but have to get because it's part of the deal. Have you found a way around this?

[@mustangdemon87]

Manufacturers do this to "sell" the popular items will sticking it too you with the package because its cheaper for them to produce even tho your paying for them to install only want you want anyway

[@gregoryhawley3052]

I am just tired of kia dealers marking the telluride up 5-6k over invoice. Wanted to lease but only dealer I found is out of state that didn't mark up told me I had to live in that state. Dealers are so much fun.

[@Hewx2]

Kind of wild that GM doesn’t let you lock in rebated but FCA and Ford do.

[@viper4hdz]

Can you explain what you mean?

[@VvDOPAMEANvV]

I've had a very different experience lately trying to order a truck. I've gone to two RAM dealers and two Chevrolet dealers. The first three dealers were easily a no-go. All their sales personnel turned me off. One RAM dealer got a whole group of guys around me as I was trying to leave. Finally I settle on a 2500 Silverado, and I just found out that the dealer didn't get the order in until ten weeks after I left my deposit. Chevrolet notified them that my color was no longer available. I simply do not understand.

[@sonsofliberty3081]

My sister went in to get a jeep down around DC. She told them she was getting her own financing and they talked her into applying for credit just to see if they can beat her rate. She told them, after they came back she said no thank you, I'll bring in a cashiers check when I pick up the jeep in a day and a half. She came in with the check in hand to walk out with the keys and they said, oh we don't need the check you took one of the load offers. She said no, I didn't sign anything and told you I'd be in with the check. They told her they could go back on it so she just took it. Here they forged her name to the final paperwork and processed it. She was pissed, when she told me I said why didn't you just call the cops right on the spot. I wouldn't have taken that car at all. I get she wanted to do it on her own but man, I wish she'd had called sooner. Our dealer where we live is nothing like that. They'll show you the invoice. She had zero experience with people of this caliber, now she knows how DC is run.

[@1dollarten]

Thats why its called ,,, the swamp

[@DnRprodxIL]

I'm hoping to order this week, and when I go to take delivery, it will be the middle of winter and hopefully rebates exist by then. s550 2021

[@andybettis5194]

What is the expected down payment (% of purchase) for a Factory ordered car?

[@jeffd2001]

I just factory ordered an LT Trailboss. I had to visit a 3rd dealership since I get the gm supplier price through work, and the first two dealerships I visited felt it wasn’t worth their time since they can now sell most trucks at sticker price. Also, my dealership was able to lock the rebate as well.

[@ivanbaires5727]

I also have the gm supplier discount I was wondering how much the discount is

[@LS1LE]

Great video, great explanation. Thank you!

[@Shadowsgamingcorner]

this guys is a legend he is really helping me out with all this knowledge, would love to buy a car from him been thinking of a trailblazer but not sure if its to small for me lol

[@ronsteltz7538]

YOU CAN NOT ORDER WHAT YOU WANT. You order what they want you to have. I wanted a base Trailblazer with only the cruise. Nope, you have to add the package that is 395.00 more. And now with so-called American cars coming from overseas you never know when you get it. I am 78 3/4 and even sold cars years ago and the process has changed.

[@blackened300a]

Ford locks in current rebate pricing when ordering a vehicle and will honor any additional rebates that may be available when the vehicle arrives. Waiting is the shitty part but I can’t find the vehicle in the combo and options I want so waiting for it is the only way to get one.

[@theguy9234]

Love your popcorn popper!

This is the video i was looking for

[@kevinstone9825]

[@jonathanjones336]

Hey Mike, so I never thought I would be able to order a vehicle but I have a 2020 GMC 2500 AT4, I am interested in getting into a 2024 GMC 3500 AT4(x) when they come out. I am about 2 hours from you and I will say I drove further than that to get the truck I have now ;). So if I could reach out somehow I would appreciate your help. Been watching you for years and it would be cool to live through the processes you have been teaching.

[@rogercueto]

It's sad that in such a vital industry there's shenanigans and shady people that take advantage of an unsuspecting consumers and we have to watch videos just to get a measly crumb from the table.

[@JuniorNel21]

For real. Very sad. For them to make money, they have to be shady and deceitful and crap on someone else and screw them, then lie to their face as if they're helping them.

[@foremanX371]

With all do with respect and nothing personal or business but yah nothings perfect. I’ll agree to that bro

[@jerrycraypser8376]

How do you find a dealer who has the allocation to order a new truck?
