For instance; If I go to a new car dealer, say Toyota or Honda, and I want a very specific vehicle (color, specs, etc.) and they don't have it will they call another dealership to bring one over? And, assuming the 1st dealer has to pay the 2nd dealer for that car, will the 2nd dealer just charge what they had to pay? Or will the price be jacked up all the way around and I would end up paying two costs over MSRP instead of just one cost over MSRP?
Whew!! I think I'm confusing myself.

First it is called a Dealer Trade, and dealerships do it all the time. They all can get on a website that lists different cars in a specific area that are in other dealers inventory. Depending on demand and what they are willing to "trade" and how far away the other dealer is, there may be a small charge to do this. Some dealers charge and extra 100.00 to cover costs. It is also a protection for them just in case when they get the car, and you decide you don't want it. If they find the car that you want, you will pay them for that car only. Example, if all you are changing is the color, the price will probably be the same as the one at the dealer you are at. However if you change the equipment, like a different radio or a sun roof or spoiler etc, then you will pay for the extra equipment just like you would if your dealer had that car. Dealerships do it as a favor to their customers to keep them, and give them more business and have them use their service department, which makes them money. To refer friends and family saying that this dealer went out of their way to find me the car I wanted etc. Good for business.
If you are willing to wait for them to order it with the exact equipment and color you want, you can certainly do that too. How patient are you? How fast do you want your new car? In many cases, if a dealership orders you the car you want, they will charge you an addtional deposit to order one. It will be applied to your purchase when you buy the car, but it may not be refundable if you decide you don't want it. It is to protect them and to basically guarantee them that you will buy it when they get it. Example, you want a pink or purple car, that they normally wouldn't order and is not a good seller. If they order it for you and you don't buy it..what are they going to do with a car that won't sell or they will have problems selling?? So the additional deposit may be substantial to guarantee them you will buy the car.

the prices are already jacked up .. the agreed on price is what you will pay , and bargain with them on the price.. almost half the price of the car on the sticker is profit.. cars have a high mark up like gold .. the MSRP is what the makers suggest to sell a car for so all will make big profits it is not a final price I bought a car a few years ago the sticker had 25,000 I got them down to 16,500 final price after the taxes and fee's also the MSRP does not include the fees and taxes so the more negotiations you do the better you will come out on price

they sometimes will do dealer trades or they could order you one. there shouldn't be a price difference. just make sure u are at a good dealership, if they seem shifty then they probably are. make sure you try and talk them down on the price as much as u can, msrp is just a starting point, get em down!! with my last vehicle i got them down to invoice minus rebate, i got one heck of a deal. if they want the sale bad enough they'll work with you. good luck, i know how the process sucks!!!

I artwork in automobile finance. there is not any way you have signed a private loan settlement in the previous it became unquestionably authorized by utilising the financier. The dealership you're dealing with, like maximum others, probably assumed which you may get authorized and desperate to enable you're taking the automobile. besides the incontrovertible fact which you utility for finance has been declined and as a result they have each maximum appropriate to collect the automobile from you.

You're still better off to find the vehicle with the color/options you want on your own. Dealers are more willing to wheel and deal with something that is actually sitting on their lot - they're paying taxes on their inventory don't forget.

No they won't call another dealer unless there under the same ownership. They will order you one, the delivery doesn't take too long.
