Pre-ordering is becoming more common as customers and dealers discover the benefits of placing special orders instead of settling for what’s on the lot. Louisville INFINITI is no exception, and we’re here to explain why having to wait a month or two for your new INFINITI Q50 might be the best thing to have happened.

Factory Ordering Has Become The New Norm In Auto Sales

For many years it’s been normal to drive past dealerships stocked with hundreds of new cars awaiting sale, and if your dealer in Bullitt County didn’t have what you wanted, they could call a dealer in Jefferson County and have the car available the next day

These days, some dealerships don’t have even a dozen vehicles in their new car inventory. This is because issues in supply chains mean manufacturers can’t keep up with the growing demand for vehicles, causing a new car inventory shortage.

With limited production available, manufacturers preferentially build cars for which they know they have a buyer, such as pre-ordered custom cars. Therefore, as pre-ordering becomes more common, fewer ready-made cars will arrive at the dealership, and more pre-orders will be placed.

When Will Car Inventory Return To Normal?

While pre-ordering is new for most of the American market, it’s been common in Europe for decades. When you’re willing to spend thousands to ensure you have the smoothest, most stylish ride in the city, waiting a couple of months for your custom car seems a small price.

In America, there’s a different attitude towards car shopping. When we want something, we want it now. Unfortunately, we may have to learn the joy of anticipation. Supply issues continue to plague manufacturers, and dealerships discover that pre-ordering results in more satisfied customers. As a result, few dealers are in a hurry to return to the old ways of doing business.

Order A New Car From The Factory And Save

The most apparent benefit to pre-ordering is that you don’t pay for any extras you don’t want.

For instance, you could buy an INFINITI QX60 with the latest cargo package and hatch tent. The package includes storage nets, underfloor storage dividers, and everything else you could need to camp in the Jefferson Memorial Forest. The problem is that you live in Elizabethtown, Indiana, and you don’t like camping and only need the cargo space for your weekly shopping. In this case, you would end up paying hundreds of dollars for unwanted extras.

Pre-ordering also saves us from impulse buys. For example, although you instantly fell in love with that bright red INFINITI SUV, you might come home with your new purchase and find that your partner doesn’t feel the same way. Taking the time to pre-order prevents buyers’ regret.
