Question on 2013
 

Im planning on purchasing 2013 in about a month while saving up for downpayment so I have a few questions.

None of the dealers have what I wanted in my area (base, auto, pearl white, sports) by searching online so Im wondering what is the current wait times from ordering to receiving it for guys that ordered 2013 recently?

Waiting after ordering comes up with another question. Financing. Do I look around for financing before I shop around for the Z or after? Hate to shop around for financing and get a loan offer thats good for 2-3 months then it takes 3-4 months to get the car. Now I have a hit on credit score x2.

I expected to place 10k down and do a trade in. Car is worth more than whats owed. Do I wait til I get the z before I talk about trade in or do I do it all when negotiating after settling the price for the z? Never bought a car where it has to be ordered.

Thanks.

Never bring up a trade until a price has been settled on. If they ask, just tell them no and bring it up later.

Understood.

But is it.. negotiate price, order, wait til it arrive, trade talks, then finance?

Or negotiate price, trade talks, order, wait til it arrive then finance?

I'm planning on getting 3rd party financing before talking finance with dealers so I have a leg up. There is a huge gap of wait times from few weeks to 4 months, from what I gather on the forums so its messing up the usual steps if you were just buying up a car off the lot.
