TRUTH about Ordering a Car from a dealer - Kevin Hunter The Homework Guy
So, you’re thinking about ordering your next car straight from the manufacturer instead of buying one off the lot? Is that right? Maybe you’ve got your eye on a specific trim, color, or package that dealers never seem to stock on their lots. Or maybe you’re just tired of being strong-armed into buying a car with extra dealer added features you don’t want. But here’s the million-dollar question: when you order a car, are you doing the dealer a favor, or are they doing you one? Stick with me—because today, we’re going to peel back the curtain on special orders, dealer tricks, and what really happens behind the scenes when you order a car. And you might just be surprised to learn who’s holding the power card here. Spoiler alert—it’s not the dealer.

1: Why Buyers Consider Ordering a Car
Customization – Buyers order cars to get the exact trim, options, and colors they want. Dealership lots often carry what sells fastest, not what you personally desire.
Avoiding Unwanted Add-Ons – Dealers stock cars loaded with expensive packages and accessories. Ordering gives you more control—at least in theory.
Market Scarcity – During shortages, some buyers think ordering guarantees them a vehicle without fighting the showroom circus.
2: The Myth of the “Dealer Favor”
Floorplan Financing – Dealers finance their inventory using floorplan loans. Each car on the lot racks up interest the longer it sits. When you order a car that’s pre-sold, the dealer doesn’t have to tie up that financing. That’s a zero-risk, zero-cost deal for them.
Guaranteed Sale – They don’t need to “move the metal” later. Your car is already spoken for.
Allocation Benefits – Manufacturers give future inventory allocations based on sales. When a dealer sells an ordered unit, it still counts as a sale toward their monthly or quarterly targets. Translation? Your order helps them secure more of the high-demand vehicles they actually want to sell for big profits.
