With Titles like 11 Fake Fees, to Don't Say I'm Paying Cash at Car dealerships, and Car Shortage Crisis, and Car Dealer Says Bring the Car Back!... The Homework Guy Team publishes videos to help Car Buyers. Then we added Cash Buyer Negotiations, and Held Hostage at a Car Dealership, No Haggle One Price Car Dealerships, How Much do Used Car Dealers Pay for Cars?, 10 Things You Should Not Say to Car dealerships, and the Costco Auto Program. We hit all the topics, and we represent Car Buyers, a goal that’s often in direct conflict with Car Dealer goals.
A CAR DEALER WANTS TO:
1. SELL every car for the Highest Possible Price.
2. CONVINCE Car Buyers to use Dealer affiliated Lenders / Banks.
3. LOAD every Car Deal full of Fees and Finance Products.
4. OFFER Lowball numbers on every Trade Vehicle.
THE HOMEWORK GUY TEAM (THG) HELPS CAR BUYERS TO:
1. BUY a Car from Dealers or Private Party Sellers at the Lowest Price.
2. PAY Cash or Finance with their own Bank or Credit Union.
3. DECLINE Dealer Fees and Finance Products.
4. TRADE / SELL their current vehicle for the Best Value.
For more than 40 years, dealerships have EARNED their lowly reputation by being the masters of predatory selling. Dealers stalk victims relentlessly, often ruthlessly treating the most vulnerable car buyers (like seniors, for example) with little or no conscience. Car Dealers and their Finance Officers have no problem creating financial devastation for their customers with over bloated car loans, and quite often do. We point out the traps and the flaws of the process, and help car buyers get by all the nonsense without being ripped off. We promote fairness, honesty, and transparency, and we’d love to see a few dealers join our mission!

This video tells you to negotiate but it doesn’t tell you how to negotiate. Here’s how it’s done. First of all every dealer has an allocation of factory orders for each vehicle type they carry. This allocation is reset every month or a quarter depending on the manufacture. The trick to negotiate is to recognize the manufacture incentives provided to the dealers to offset their holding costs. These costs have three forms. First, floor planning assistance which could be up to $700 per car to offset the carrying cost the dealer incurs by holding the car on their lot. Second, advertising assistance which isn’t needed since the car goes directly from the manufacture to the dealer and you pick it up within 72 hours. Third, dealer holdbacks which are additional margin that will go into the dealers pocket for all factory orders. The best way to do this is to remind the dealer of these three areas that they are saving money and have them agree to deliver the car to you at factory invoice.

[@KevinHunter]

Great stuff. Thanks for your comment! Spot on!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

So many dealers told me they couldn't special order, but I called the manufacturer to verify and their reply was quite the opposite. Thanks for the additional substantiation that I can Kevin!

[@evanwindom3265]

If they tell you they can't order, they will make it hard. Try contacting dealers in smaller towns, potentially in other states as Kevin suggested. I found my best offers outside of 200 miles from my home, and well outside the metro area.

[@TheLifetraveler1]

Thank you for telling us this. Way back when I ordered factory a 1990 Toyota Camry solara V6 with a manual transmission. Initially the dealer told me I could not factory order it. However I wrote a letter to the CEO of Toyota in america. Next thing I know the dealer says how do you want it put together? I wanted a manual transmission, which was in the catalog book, but no dealer had actually purchased such a car. While doing it I ordered a color combination interior and exterior that was not standard. Laughed every time I take it to a new service dealer, and they would go, "How did you get this"? Coming back to present, dealers are again telling me that you can't order a car. I'm glad that you said we could. But I'll wait!

[@jimmyglea]

I walked out of the local Chevy dealership because the sales guy did not want me to order a very basic truck with almost no features. I was buying it strictly as a “farm truck”, no cruise control or heated seats etc needed. The sales guy wanted to sell me one of his used rigs SO bad, he was smack talking the ordering process! I bought a used Ford.

[@inspector4133]

I bought my '87 Mustang this way. I went to several dealers with invoice price of my build in hand. Just asked them how much over invoice they needed to order it for me. Most were interested. I bought from the one that only wanted $500 over invoice. Saved almost $3k from MSRP on what (at the time) was a very popular and in demand model. I plan on doing this with my next car.

[@marcs4091]

In my experience car dealers hate doing Factory orders. Give you more time to back out of the deal, and they're at the mercy of the manufacturer that may or may not deliver in a timely matter if at all. Usually they'll try to find a car locally that's close to what you want, and add or subtract options after the fact. Work trucks they are more willing to special order.

Hi Kevin, great information in you videos. I am considering doing a factory order for the first time and would like to see any specific tips regarding negotiation the MSRP down for direct factory orders. Include as well as what additional charges are reasonable to expect the dealer to add on for prep, verses what service we should expect on picking up the vehicle. Another video would be AWESOME!

Hey Kevin, I would really appreciate if you could go in depth with number 6 on how exactly we could negotiate in terms of ordering from manufacturer.

[@jamesw1659]

Think of it another way: EVERY car is a factory order, either from you or the dealer. This used to be much more common...my father factory-ordered every car we ever bought. Even today, most Chevy Corvettes are customer orders.

[@Quad8track]

Thanks Kevin! I was ready to go to the Chrysler factory in Brampton, Ontario, Canada to buy a 2020 Chrysler 300C in gloss black with deep mocha leather interior and premium leather interior trim. None of the dealers wanted to order this for me. Canada's Covid-19 restrictions wouldn't allow me to enter Canada. Most Chrysler dealerships are horrible with the most uninformed sales reps with zero product knowledge.

[@williamandersen6484]

I was stationed in a little town in Kansas in 1976 and wanted a Chrysler Cordoba. Dealership was so small they only had 1 car in the showroom. As soon as he realized that I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, he offered to order a car for me for $500. We sat down with a book and he went over every item, let me choose what I wanted. I think I had the car in about a month.

Do you recommended bringing someone with you when going to a dealership? If so, can you make a video about that? As a Sergeant, I often accompany junior soldiers to dealerships in order to keep them grounded so they don't get their emotions carried away, and review their contract with them. I've also heard stories about people that bring a friend with them who basically did nothing but reinforce the buyer's terrible decision.

[@russellrobins5320]

100% agree with everything said in this video. I’m currently on my third factory order. First factory order was a 2008 Saturn aura XR and, true to the Homework Guys advice, it is a one of one Saturn Aura as it was the only Aura ever factory ordered with the trunk mounted spoiler albeit it was delivered in the trunk and dealer installed. Next was a 2012 3500 Chevy express cargo van that was a luxury vehicle from the seats forward and a pure cargo van from the seat backs rearward. No other van I’ve EVER seen is even similar to it down to dealer Installed cast aluminum Chevy wheels. Btw the dealer and I nicknamed the van the “Mark of Excellence Edition” complete with the GM Mark of Excellence badge on each front door. Currently I’m ordering a 2021 3500 GMC SLE 3500 double cab 8’ bed pickup in metallic brown and brown interior relatively loaded with options except for the slt leather seats and stupid 93 way tailgate. There won’t be any trucks around even remotely similar. As for negotiating, the dealer makes the statement that you can’t lock in rebates or financing due to the fact that with a factory order their is literally no vin number or vehicle for you to purchase. You need to wait until the vehicle arrives and then you have something that can be purchased. That said, make you factory order just before the new model year begins. In my case I am ordering a 2021 vehicle just as 2021 vehicle production is winding down and 2022 is ramping up. Ordered in this time frame when the vehicle arrives it will be subject to all the same rebates and financing offers applied to the unsold 2021 vehicles sitting on the dealers lot that the dealer, and most importantly the factory, want desperately to get rid of. Ultimately I’m paying $500. over invoice. That’s invoice, not msrp. I’m not going to be a hard ass for a better deal as I purchase a lot of parts through the parts department via my wholesale account. Speaking of that, if you can buy parts from the dealer at wholesale cost you’re getting the latest revision and technology in a replacement part. Even for our 70,000 mile 1992 GMC Sierra 1500 slt extended cab short bed two tone blue paint scheme I can get factory parts. The parts are head and shoulders above aftermarket in quality and most times made in North America. If you don’t think made in USA or at least North America is important go fuck yourself. The Saturn Aura was literally picked due to 96% North American parts content. America! Fuck ya!

[@michaelferguson167]

Very good material with thorough explanations found here. I've learned a lot, and despite my local dealer telling me I have to pay MSRP or more for what I want, I've already negotiated a deal in another state for a factory order well under the suggested price. Yesterday the local guy texted me when my preferred vehicle arrived and was promptly sold. (trying to rub it in my face) and I just couldn't restrain myself from texting him back this: "Did you not receive my earlier text? I said I'm not interested in your WRX STI as anyone who has owned one knows they don't make for a good daily driver. I also told you that despite your claims, that I would find someone who would sell me the vehicle I want well below MSRP, and that exactly what I did! It looks like I tried just a little harder than you did to find the deal that I wanted- and it wasn't all that hard"

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

I just factory ordered a ‘21 F150 Limited. The wait is 8-12 weeks. It gave me time to sell two vehicles and I got even more money by going private party. I still have my daily driver so I’m not without a car.

My son work for Honda Trading North America in Marysville, Ohio. He's in a management position and I don't know if non management gets the same deals but My son can order and drive a new Honda or Acura every year. Here's the great catch is that you're can also pick your options and have it built at the Honda plant where you work or if that plant doesn't have the model you want it's no trouble getting one shipped to that plant. Of course it's like a lease but my son has driven new Acura Sedans for less than $300/month AND you have no limit on the mileage. Drive it 100K in one year and trade it in for another brand new Honda/Acura at no extra cost. After that year you'll see these vehicles on the used car lot of Honda dealerships.

Thanks for the video Kevin and I would love to take a look at that collection of old radio receivers on the shelf behind Maggie. Another aspect of having a factory built vehicle that I like is that I can order it in the spring before the pause in mid summer if there is a factory changeover, that way I know that the vehicle was not exposed to road salt. I will spray the axel and other exposed steel components with black spray paint and clear coat paint. After that is done I schedule an appointment at a place called Krown Rust Control so that way the 5 months of road salt won't destroy my investment. I utilize the Build Your Own Vehicle auto dealer website, and select every component that I want then print it out and take the list to the dealer. We sit together at his computer at the dealer and build the vehicle on his computer and I have never had to put cash down until my vehicle arrives.

[@dewrus2153]

Another benefit (at least it was for me last year) is that you can lock-in any manufacturer rebates or discounts present at the time you order it. And then when you take delivery, you can keep those or choose to elect current rebates, etc. at the time you take delivery. That enables you to get the deal locked but you can then change the deal if better rebates or incentives are offered later when you get it.

[@rbetan1160]

At a few dealers that I have called they have told me specifically that you can take advantage of any rebates or deals from the manufacturer at the time of delivery not the time of ordering. Has your experience been with any particular brands ? im thinking of ordering a jeep.

[@jamesrand9374]

Great video, but missing a big advantage when ordering- there is no need for dealer holdback on a car that is a factory order. The dealer won’t need to floor plan a vehicle that rolls off the truck right to the customer. If you know how to calculate a manufacturer’s holdback, you can use that in negotiations to get a better deal, well under dealer invoice in some cases. Maybe dealer holdback can be the topic of an upcoming video?

[@evanwindom3265]

You're absolutely right. I placed an order yesterday, and got a price well below invoice. The truck is exactly to my specifications -- no paying for panoramic moon roofs I don't want -- and at a price better than I've been able to get from any dealer stock. The only downside is the wait, but to get the right vehicle at a great price, it's worth it.

Another reason you might be right for a factory order is a vehicle that’s low production. Chevy sold ~500,000 Silverados in 2021 but only ~21,000 Camaros. (For the Ford guys same goes for F150 vs Mustangs)

[@Cecil_X]

My dad ordered 2 from the factory, back in 1972 and 1974. I don't remember the deal from 72 all that well, but the 74 was supposed to arrive in 6 weeks, but it was closer to 6 months. I think the same may happen today. Lead times may be longer than promised, due to high demand and supply chain issues. If I can get 3 to 4 more years out of my current car, I should be able to buy used relatively cheap, due to the high supply of used cars, from current new car sales.

[@FastSS02]

You neglected to mention dealer allocations. If it's a hot new model or in high demand, smaller dealers my not have any open allocations to order what you want right then and you will have to wait longer for your order to even be placed. High volume dealers are more likely to get more allocations to order vehicles and you can get your custom order in faster. The dealer I'm working with was trying to find a truck with the options I want but because of the chip shortage, inventory is low and this new option I wanted was very hard to find. They had an open order allocation so they said let's just put in an order for what you want and we can still look for one coming in to another dealer so I could get it sooner. Another thing not mentioned is order constraints. Sometimes certain options or configurations can't be ordered or are placed on hold due to parts shortages. This will delay or possibly cause the order to be cancelled if the manufacturer has no information on when they will receive the parts.

Glad it was helpful! Factory orders aren't really a big deal, and anyone can do it just by doing a little homework first! This video is a great start!

[@traveller924]

Kevin is the best. Very helpfull.

I heard that along With the new security pin feature that if a carjacker pulls you out of your vehicle with your key fob in your pocket a little ways down the road, the car will either go into limp mode or stop completely. Is that true?

Going in to order a camaro, we have an employee discount. Should we tell them when we negotiate the same price or wait until delivery when we are in the finance office?

I know my local Ford dealer will special order a vehicle with a $500 refundable deposit.

[@TheVANITYKILLJOY]

I found the ordered cars have been cheaper than the same models that are 2-5 years older

[@KevinHunter]

Funny, but quite true for some time.

[@davidthompson9359]

I tried to order from the factory using three different Toyota dealers and they refuse to take my order. They say if I change my they will sell me a car off of their lot.

[@bohan9957]

Lots of excellent advice in this upload. Also recommend to watch Dave Ramsey. Many people are driving vehicles they can't actually afford.

[@Widebody20]

How should you pay cash for a new car without paying actual cash? What type of check ?

[@josephleonelli5351]

How would you do if you want to trade in your vehicle thanks again thank you for your help

[@ragadallas1982]

Grandprairie ford TX did dirty to a Lady , She order a Bronco form the factory , the car got deliver there her MSRP was about $39 K , the dealer basically auction the car to the one can pay the most , manager came out with a 60K price told her they have plenty customer waiting to pay K60 for that car at that moment she let the car go , I don't know if she did a downpayment , #thehomeworkguy

Thank you, Kevin.

Wish they still made manual transmission v8 trucks

I've always enjoyed driving a stick myself!

[@got_to_roll]

Youthful memories of my Jeep CJ5 with a 3 speed manual, no power steering and a built 304 V-8. Gloriously loud and fun, zero safety features.

[@Cecil_X]

I also enjoy driving a stick, especially in the snow here in the North East. It provides much more control.

[@markh.6687]

@@got_to_roll But you got the free bumper sticker mounted upside down that read "If you can read this, then flip me back over." :)

[@markh.6687]

@@Cecil_X Had a neighbor woman recently get her SUV stuck in an unplowed alley. While I was trying to help her, I asked if her SUV was four-wheel drive. She replied she didn't know (!) Then I told her to put the trans in 1st or 2nd gear (my Saturn only has 2-3-D auto trans), and she said she didn't know if she had 1st or 2nd (!). I let a neighbor lady give her directions to rock it out and get moving, I just did some shoveling. Nice woman driver; totally clueless about her vehicle. Her almost-bald tires weren't helping either.....

Hi Homework guys. Thank you for this video. I am seriously thinking about factory ordering. QUESTION - is it possible to do a video on how factory orders work with different manufacturers? I have heard thaat some are done be lottey or some such, others only order quarterly. Doyou have a recomendation for Subaru on this matter?

[@jeffreff2000]

Ive been waiting for this video!!

[@marc-anthonysavoie-adams277]

Same here

[@KevinHunter]

Glad we could help you out! Hopefully you picked up a few ideas from our video today! Thanks for your comment!

[@markh.6687]

Kevin! A car is NEVER an investment! Did you hit your head before you filmed? See the video at 3:31 "Did I just say a factory order could be a better investment?"....somebody call 911, we need an ambulance for Kevin!

[@itowmyhome797]

Thank you

[@KevinHunter]

You're welcome. We're glad you found our KZbin video useful from the Homework Guy.

[@thestrodelife]

Amazing 🤩 video, answered all my questions

[@njrivetelite]

If I'm buying a Honda CR-V or Kia Telluride.. Chances are.. I'm not going to factory order it.. unless it's going to save me thousands and I don't need a car Now. If I'm buying a new C8 Vette or Mustang GT500 that I want a certain way.. I'll factory order that.

[@Teshia]

Besides the lower cost to the dealer of stocking the vehicle, what other kinds of things can you bring up when you're trying to negotiate below the MSRP of a factory order?

[@jennermiranda169]

Mr.Homework Guy, is this apply in buying a BMW Motorcycle, Please advice. Thank you, You are the man.Love your channel.

[@TroyKasper]

Great info!

[@skapunkoialternativeliving6522]

I would like you to do a video on used cars as well one day my friend. thank you..

[@linneadoden5597]

Me too

[@peaceonearth8693]

A collab video on used cars with Scotty Kilmer would be awesome.

[@skapunkoialternativeliving6522]

[@jonshelness2807]

This is such a big help. What is the daily cost for a dealership to keep a vehicle on the lot?

[@KevinHunter]

That varies a lot, just as it varies a lot for one person to own a given vehicle vs their neighbor. Tough to answer.

[@Davek111]

Thanks!

[@matt51402]

Ok Kevin,When ordering a new car, does the website give you the prices on building a car,or does the dealership try to add some bs fees on ordering? #The homework guy!

[@LuisRodriguez-sv3gu]

Can the dealer still put a upcharge on factory order?

[@tbrightii8393]

$4, for label "put on seatbelt" dealer add on.

[@dmlkcs8620]

I just returned from test driving a Porsche Cayman (only one they had and it was used) and asked if I could order a new one and was flat out told 'NO'. That maybe I could in about 2 months because they currently had no allotment. Was that guy messing with me? I can't believe they would refuse me ordering a new car.....

[@katazack]

Probably a Covid or microprocessor related problem.

How bout a bright blue car, no we only have gray, charcoal gray, light gray, silver, white, black, red, blue what how do you spell that?

[@michaelsera746]

What about incentives. Will I expect to get the manufacturer incentive at time of order at time of delivery.

[@KevinHunter]

At the time you take delivery
