It goes back to the days when they shipped 'em over as is and any "option" you wanted had to be added by the dealer. Some imports (Toyota for one) have moved toward the business model of optioning you to death. Personally I like Honda's way of doing it, and as a business it makes sense to make the assembly line less complicated. Although you are getting your domestic configured the way you want, unless someone who works on the line can confirm it, I have my doubts that they actually build it as you order it. At least they didn't used to. When I bought a GM vehicle and ordered this and that I could tell that they had put in the upgraded stereo after the fact and a few other things like that (although not at the dealr...I think).

It isn't all that big a deal, really. They just tag the next car on the line with the specialty items wanted, and it goes down the line next to the normal stock. Typically it adds a month or so to the delivery time.

Replying to: snoopy21 (Nov 25, 2006 3:05 pm) Dealerships receive incentives from the manufacturer based upon total volume of sales, regardless of stock or special orders. The more total sales they have, the more in total dollar rebates/SPIFS from the company. They just had you pegged as wanting it now, is all.  I didn't pay anywhere near MSRP for my Viper, and it was special order. And that is a real specialty car, never a stock one. |

Replying to: terry92270 (Nov 24, 2006 3:29 pm) Technically, you are right, but barely. There are 5. For most people, though, I doubt it's more than 2-3 that cause them to want the EX-L. |
