Benefits

You may have thought that the wait time of 12-16 weeks is a disadvantage to ordering your dream car. However, if you can’t find your dream car the way that you want it anywhere else, wouldn’t you prefer to wait for it? There are many more benefits to ordering your car that we think outweigh the disadvantages. One advantage is that you receive a vehicle from the factory with no highway or even city miles on it. You also benefit from a vehicle that is tailored and built to your liking. By doing so, you are not paying for any additional features or add-ons that you usually would settle for with vehicles on the dealership’s lot. The last cool feature of ordering your vehicle is that the vehicle’s window sticker/Monroney Label will be sent with your name printed on it. This may seem like something insignificant at first, but there is value in that feature. A name on the label is great evidence that reinforces you as the original owner of the vehicle. This may be beneficial to you if you are ever looking to sell the vehicle.
