New to this forum. I'm interested in an Ascent but I know exactly what I want and it's not anywhere around me. I don't want to suck up a lot of the dealer's time -- just want to find one who will order the car I want at a good price, without the runaround and games.
We've bought new cars before but not ordered direct. Can others help me out with some questions:
(1) What's the best way to approach the dealer when ordering? Have a desired price in mind, or ask for their quote?
(2) How long of a wait should I expect on the car?
(3) Do I need to worry about the dealer trying to add fees or somehow modify the deal once the car arrives?
(4) The base MSRP + delivery for what I want is $35k. What should I aim to pay?
FWIW, I don't plan to do a trade-in. Would be paying half the Ascent's cost in cash and financing the rest through my credit union.
Any help or tips would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
