When shopping for a new vehicle, many people assume that purchasing from the dealership’s available inventory is the only option. However, factory orders allow you to select from all of the available trims and options for a specific vehicle so you can be sure you get exactly what you want.
Despite the many benefits, factory orders come with common misconceptions that might make you hesitant to consider them. Let’s clear up factory order misconceptions and explain why placing a factory order at Birchwood is a seamless process!
Misconception #1: Factory Orders Take Too Long
Many people believe that ordering a vehicle from the factory takes an unreasonable amount of time. While factory orders do take longer than purchasing from in-stock inventory, they ensure you get the exact model, features, and specifications you want. Depending on the manufacturer, wait times can vary, but Birchwood keeps you informed throughout the process, so you always know what to expect. The typical wait time for a factory order is between three to five months depending on the model.

Misconception #2: Factory Orders Are More Expensive
Some people assume that custom ordering a vehicle costs more than buying one off the lot. In reality, factory orders can be a great way to avoid paying for unwanted features and packages that come with pre-configured models. Birchwood helps you select only the options you truly need, ensuring your factory-ordered vehicle fits your budget. A deposit is required to secure your factory order, then you can choose your desired payment method when your factory order arrives.
Misconception #3: You Can’t Negotiate on a Factory Order
Another common myth is that factory-ordered vehicles are sold at a fixed price with no room for negotiation. The truth is that you can still take advantage of manufacturer incentives, dealership promotions, and financing offers. Birchwood works with you to ensure you get a competitive price, just as you would with an in-stock vehicle.
Misconception #4: You Can’t Trade-In Your Current Vehicle When Factory Ordering
Some believe that a factory order means you have to wait until your new vehicle arrives before trading in your current one. However, Birchwood allows you to get a trade-in appraisal at the time of your order, locking in a competitive value. You can even continue driving your current vehicle until your new one arrives, making the transition seamless.
