If I recall correctly, most dealerships won't actually charge you that much more to custom-order a car, because the car won't be sitting on their lot for very long compared to the cars they have to keep in stock and hope they sell.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoIf its custom, limited run, or high demand, you'll pay at least MSRP, depending on how many other people you're competing against for a small pool of vehicles. You're referring to the dealership's working line of credit, which is just interest they pay monthly from time of vehicle delivery to sale. For most vehicles, this amount is negligible (unless its been sitting on the lot for months). You could theoretically get a deal on a car they can't move, but the long-term resale value will likely be lower because its an undesired model/color/etc.

- toomuchtodo 12y agoIn the majority of markets where dealerships operate, the real estate turnover cost per vehicle is negligible, unless you're talking a major metro (Chicago, LA, NY, SF) or somewhere odd like Key West (there's a small Nissan dealership there with limited inventory.
