We are planning to buy a new car (2011 Chrysler Town & Country). The last several cars that we bought we compromised on things we really wanted due to availability. This car we expect to have for at least 10 years. We want to get the features that we want and the color that we want. In the past, color was always the first feature to go. This time, I don't want to do that.
I've searched inventory as best I can within a few hundred miles of here and there is no vehicle that meets the specific features we want.
The last time I bought a car I priced it at Edmunds then they sent that information to some dealers who contacted us and we ended up buying one that was available wasn't exactly what we wanted. They could get vehicles from other dealers but apparently only within a specific area.
If you know that you want a specific set of features (including color) and you know that it isn't that common (the 2011 T&C just came out in January so there aren't tons of them out there) what is the best way to find the exact car and buy it for a reasonable price?
