I'm interested in a white one with KDSS, no moonroof. Not much luck finding one.
Dealer told me it would take between 3-6months to special order.

We have not discussed price yet, nor has he asked for a deposit. He mentioned 4 months at our first meeting. Yesterday he said the configuration has been approved but he didn’t have an ETA.
To me, nothing is real until we have a VIN in hand.
As far as price goes... we’ll have to see. I’m keen to get the configuration I want, and it doesn’t seem to exist anywhere in the US. Maybe that’s because we’re still early in MY2020 and greater variety will make its way to dealer lots later in the MY.
It’s much easier to negotiate when you can walk away from one dealer and do business with another.
The dealer I’m working with is the only one (out of five local) to offer pursuing a special order. All the others played it as if they were helpless victims of whatever the delivery truck dumped on them: they couldn’t sell me what I wanted so I would have to settle for what they had.
Not sure what my negotiating leverage is going to be in this case.
Advice appreciated if someone’s gone through this.
