What Are The Benefits Of Pre-Ordering A Vehicle Online?

Jun 16, 2022

Columbia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram stocks a large inventory of new and used cars near Columbia, Tennessee. — Pre-ordering a vehicle allows customers more control over the product they end up with.

Price

People often assume a built-to-order vehicle will be much more expensive than the dealer stock. The truth is that pre-ordered cars cost no more than vehicles on the lot and, in some cases, may even cost less.

Convenience

As we grappled with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, many services have evolved to function online. Although COVID restrictions are now easing, the convenience and simplicity of online shopping are undeniable, and we believe this convenience should extend to cars.

Customizable options

Pre-ordering means you don’t have to settle for expensive features that you don’t want or settle for an undesirable color. Instead, pre-ordering allows consumers access to all available options, rather than limiting them to what is in the lot—meaning they can pick and choose features, trim, and color.

Why Pre-Order Your Next Vehicle Online?

Buying a vehicle online saves you the headache of not being able to find what you want in a lot. After doing hours of research and picking out your ideal features and custom trim, it can be very frustrating to find out that you have to compromise when facing what is available to you on the lot.

If you pre-order your vehicle, you are guaranteed to get the car you so carefully chose. We order the vehicle from the car factory, which is built according to your specifications. Finally, the vehicle is delivered to the dealership or a location that suits you.

Buying a car no longer involves pacing around the rows of cars in a lot, trying in vain to find something that suits your specific needs. Instead, the way we shop for vehicles is evolving—and with pre-ordering, you can buy a car online and have it delivered with the same level of convenience we expect from other consumer products.

Keeping Up with Trends in the Automotive Market

Factory ordering is quickly becoming the new standard in car sales, with more and more consumers taking note of the trend and opting to pre-order their vehicles.

COVID-19 dramatically affected the automotive market. Supply shortages, shutdowns, and the global microchip shortage have led to serious inventory problems. Due to the shortages, many buyers have had to wait weeks, even months, to receive their vehicle as there are not enough cars available.

Previously, shopping on the lot was deemed faster and more convenient than pre-ordering online as there was no waiting involved; you just drove the vehicle away on the same day. However, given the limited numbers of cars on lots, many buyers have had to wait for their vehicle regardless.

Why bother visiting a dealership when you can simply order what you want online while waiting a similar amount of time? Of course, the best way to buy a used car continues to involve visiting our dealership in person, but pre-ordering is the way to go if it is a new model you are after.
