However, the one downside of factory ordering a car is the amount of time it takes to get to you. But exactly how long does it take for you to get your factory-ordered car? This blog aims to address that question and more. 

What Does Factory Order Mean?

When you factory order a car, you are purchasing it through a dealership, but making specific modifications so that it is customized to your needs and desires before being ordered directly from the factory. That way, you know the exact car, trim, color, upgrades, etc. that you are getting. 

What Are the Steps to Factory Order a New Car?

There are five main steps to factory order a new car. They are as follows: 

  1. Go to the manufacturer’s website and build the vehicle you want. If you are looking for a RAM 1500, you would go to the RAM website and build the exact vehicle you want, taking the time to select the interior features, exterior features, trim package, paint color, and other options you want.

The first few steps of the factory order process only take a couple of days. The most time-consuming part of the process is selecting the options you want and arranging for financing or payment options. After that, the factory will immediately put your vehicle towards the top of the manufacturing line. Once your vehicle is created it will be sent directly to the dealership and you can pick it up as quickly as you want. The longest part of the factory order process is the creation of your vehicle, which can take anywhere from one to three months. 

How Long Does it Take for a Car to Come in after Ordering?

After ordering your vehicle, your car has to be built from the ground up. Unlike other vehicles, your car is behind custom-made to your specifications. Because of this, it can take anywhere from 1-3 months to be completed. The length of time it takes depends on the factory, the order specifications, and where you fall on the production line. 

Do Some Factory Orders Take Longer Than Others?

Yes, domestic factories take a shorter amount of time to come in after you have ordered. This is because, unlike foreign factories, you don’t have to wait for your new vehicle to be shipped overseas and go through customs. That is why foreign factories take a longer time to get to you.
