The internet allows consumers to see every option available on a new car. You can go to any manufacturer's website and build one of their models to the exact specifications you want. Whether on a website or in a dealership, ordering a car with this level of personalization is a fun and exciting way to get exactly what you want. 

What Is The Process Of A Custom Order Car

It only takes a few more steps to custom order a car than it does to pick on from the lot. The basic process is outlined below:

• Choose a Model: First, you must choose the make and model of car you want to purchase. At Seaside, you'll find Jeeps for off-roading, Dodges for thrilling drives, Chryslers for family trips, and Ram trucks for heavy-duty work. 
• Select the Features: Next, you'll go down the list of available options. You'll be able to select the exterior color, trim options, technology packages, drivetrain, interior options, and much more. The exact options available depend on the model you've decided on, but if the factory offers them, you'll be able to get them on your car.
• Place the Order: Once you've picked your desired specifications and options, we'll arrange for payment and place an order with the manufacturer to have your car built. At this time, you'll receive an estimated delivery date. If the delivery date changes, we'll keep you updated.
• Delivery and Inspection: Once your car arrives at our dealership, we'll give it a detailed inspection to ensure it meets all your specifications. If it does, we'll arrange a convenient time for you to take delivery of your new car.

How Long Does It Take To Receive A Custom Order Car

Given the number of options available, there's an enormous number of possible combinations when custom ordering a car. Unlike the standard packages available off the lot, the factory will have to build your custom order, especially for you. This process can take anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks. This process can take longer for certain high-demand models or specialized configurations. Our staff will be able to provide you with a rough estimate as you're building your car, a more precise one once you order, and regular updates after your order is placed to keep you in the loop. 

More FAQ's 

Can I finance a custom-ordered car?

Yes. All the same payment options are available for custom ordered cars as there are for buying cars off the lot. Our finance department would be happy to help you find financing that fits your needs and budget.

What happens if I change my mind after placing the order?

Once a car has entered the production phase, changes can be difficult and may incur additional costs. To avoid inconvenience, you should strive to finalize your choices before ordering.

Can I trade in my current vehicle when placing a custom order?

Yes. If you decide to trade in your current vehicle, we'll have our expert appraisal team determine its value and make you a fair and competitive offer on the car. If you accept the offer, we'll apply that value toward your new custom order.
