Ordering vs. Buying Off the Lot

2022 Volkswagen Golf R


When you’ve decided a new car is a much-needed upgrade to your Crestview drives, you can secure the keys to your next model either by shopping the current models in your local dealership or by placing a custom order. Since most drivers have only experienced purchasing their car from the available selection at a certain time, custom orders may seem a bit out of their comfort zone and possibly, even unnecessary. However, they can come in handy and they even offer several edges over just buying one of the models off of a dealer’s lot. Discover more with our team at Volkswagen Fort Walton Beach below! 

Benefits of Custom Ordering a VW

What’s the difference between buying off the lot and placing an order? Mainly, when you shop from the lot, you are limited to what’s available at that time. On the other hand, a custom order opens up the opportunity to truly unlock the car of your dreams, whichever Volkswagen model that may be! Even if it is one of the latest and hottest models like the ID.4 or the Golf GTI, you will get your hands on one of that VW cars despite the low inventory due to the automotive chip shortage. Some other advantages include:

  • Select the exact model with the exact features you want. A Navarre dealer’s selection may or may not have your model. Even if it does, it might not have the trim you want or the model with the specific features you’re looking for. With an order, you can get what you want specifically while you can save some money by not blindly opting for features you didn’t need or want! 
  • Being able to prepare for a new ride ahead of time. Along the same lines of choosing the exact model you want, you won’t have to worry about needing a car immediately and then end up settling for a car that you aren’t over the moon for. Plus, if you know you want to switch your car at a certain point, you can place an order several months ahead of time and it will be ready for you before you know it. 
  • Enjoy the freedom and experience of building your dream car. While shopping from a current inventory is the norm for most drivers, customizing your own car every step of the way is a whole different experience. You can appreciate every inch of your new Volkswagen vehicle, and driving in a car that was built right from the factory specifically for you makes it truly yours like no other (literally)!
