Over the past year, pre-ordering new vehicle purchases have become commonplace. Manufacturers struggle to keep up with demand due to supply chain issues. Regardless of your preference for new vehicles, pre-ordering is probably something you’ve already considered. Or, will need to consider with the current stock shortages across the industry. 

Advantages of Pre-Ordering

Firstly, pre-ordering your next vehicle lets you get all of the options you want, without paying for the features that you won’t use. Choose your exact trim level, colour preference, and even accessory options to make your ideal vehicle. With low inventory across the country, the alternative to pre-ordering is often settling for a vehicle colour that isn’t your first choice. And, often means paying more money for features you won’t use.

Pre-ordering a vehicle is also one of the best ways to avoid buyer’s remorse when purchasing a new vehicle. Buying a car is exciting, and rightfully so. A new vehicle can greatly improve your quality of life and is seen as a status symbol by many of us. But that excitement can also cloud your judgment leading to buyer’s remorse if you aren’t careful. The solution to this problem is pre-ordering your next vehicle. The time it takes for pre-order vehicles to arrive after ordering varies but can be as little as a few weeks or as much as a few months. 

Flexbility

Savvy car buyers can use this downtime to look into the vehicle further. And, even to come back in for a test drive and make sure that the vehicle is perfect for them. The best part? There is no fee or penalty in the event you change your mind, want to choose a different vehicle, or hold off buying the vehicle altogether. 

Finally, Pre-ordering lets you be first in line for high-demand vehicles. Vehicles like the highly anticipated Civic Si and Civic Type R are produced in much smaller quantities due to their speciality nature. Pre-ordering lets you have the first right of refusal on that vehicle. A better option when compared to waiting for the vehicle to show up in-store and hoping you get there first. 

With no end in sight for the supply chain issues that are currently disrupting the automotive industry and most industries as a whole, pre-ordering your next vehicle as a purchasing option is here to stay. Contact Honda West today to take advantage of everything that pre-ordering offers you.
