Today I went to a new/used dealership to look at an '03 car that I wanted. When I got there, though, someone bought it, and it was the only one. The manager came out and said no problem, we can get you one just like it in a week. So I basically ordered an '04, gave them color choices, price cap and mileage cap and a $500 deposit, & signed a P&S with those contingencies in it. I did not think that you could just walk into a dealership and just "order" a used car. Do most dealerships do this??

If it's a common vehicle, it' svery easily to duplicate it by going to the auction and getting one like it - it really isn't "ordered", like with a new car, there's no "used car factory" (inside joke in the car business), but if you're looking for a grey Ford Taurus LX with 15,000-30,000 miles, the used car buyer for the dealer or dealer group can buy one like that.

Depending on the vehicle and the limits that you put on the deal (color, mileage, price) it is relatively easy for a dealer to find a used car. I can go on line right now and locate vehicles that will be for sale at auctions all over the country this week. If I know that I have a buyer for the car, I usually can get it at the auction, because I can afford to pay a bit more, knowing that it will not be sitting on the lot for 30 days before it sells!!

The short answer is yes.
Used cars come not only from trade ins, they also come from auctions. Most dealerships have a guy at auction who buys for the dealership, and when you give your order to the dealership, per se, they tell their auction buyer to be on the lookout for that model of car. Auctions are happening all the time, so it is not unusual to find the car that you want through a dealership like this.

They will look for a type of car you ordered in the dealer's auction - usually those auctions are pretty large with huge amount of cars sold. However, you should have the car properly inspected by an independent service - you want to make sure the car is OK

I artwork in automobile finance. there is not any way you've signed a private loan settlement beforehand it replaced into easily approved by the financier. The dealership you're dealing with, like maximum others, probable assumed that you could get approved and keen to provide help to're taking the automobile. besides the undeniable fact that you software for finance has been declined and hence they have each and every correct to gather the motor vehicle from you. Failure to resign the motor vehicle ought to point that you're going to face courtroom and if fonf no longer on your opt for you'd be up for all expenditures which will properly be morethan the automobile is worth. with regard on your commerce in the experience that they have got already bought it then you fairly are entitled to the agreed funds volume that they provided you contained in the start

Not only auctions though. Many mfg's have an online lease turn in program, a dealer can browse the lease turn ins at many dealers in the country and choose from there.
