Dealerships all over Canada are struggling to get new vehicles because of the global microchip shortage and other supply chain bottlenecks.

Tips For Ordering a New Car at a Dealership

The approach for ordering a new car, truck or SUV will begin the same way as buying (or leasing) one directly from the showroom. Potential customers will need to do a little homework to narrow down their options and ensure they have financing in place by working with their bank or our financial services team. After those things are taken care of, it’s time to make an appointment at Finch Chrysler. Check out the following steps:

• Use Every Available Tool: Our website offers a lot of customization capability when it comes to picking out a vehicle in our inventory. Since you’re likely choosing something we don’t have in stock, visit the manufacturer’s website, this will give you a full range of customization options – as well as an accurate idea of pricing. Print out your final product or take careful notes along the way. This will make the process more manageable at the dealership.
• Be Careful with Extras: Clicking on all the extra features and options is fun, but at the end of the day, customers still need to pay for the car, truck or SUV they are ordering. Buyers need to know what they need, what they can live without and have a firm grasp on their budget.
• Timing Is Everything: The days between October and the end of the year are often the best time to buy a new car because of all the available sales incentives. Be sure to ask if placing your order will qualify for any applicable offers.
• Get Your Trade-In Ready: Ordering a new vehicle isn’t like ordering a pizza; the wait for it to arrive is likely to be more than 30 minutes. Use the time between finalizing the order and it becoming available to get your current vehicle ready to trade in. This means getting service records together, fixing exterior imperfections and thoroughly cleaning the interior. All of these tasks can help improve its trade-in value.

Ordering your dream vehicle directly from the manufacturer is a great way to ensure you get exactly what you want. Make an appointment with a Finch Chrysler product expert today if you would like to get the process started, or if you have any lingering questions.
