Most dealers will not make a car custom for you; you have to choose from the available inventory. If they do not have it on the lot, they will ship and existing car from elsewhere (possibly another state), but they will charge you a delivery fee. It's crazy.
- alkonaut 11y agoNow I just checked the VW "build my car" page for the US. For a new Golf you pick transmission, color, interior trim, choose if you want the "lighting pack" and then you are done. Compared to their EU configurators that's quite a difference: the yes/no accessory options alone are 40-60 (!) choices for a new Golf. Just speccing a new car on the company sites here can be an hour of work at least. That explains it at least a bit: there are way fewer customization options for new cars in the US, meaning the chance of a dealer having the right car (basically, the right trim+color) isn't unreasonable.
