I would bet that if you searched the internet you’d find a car with the option that you want within a few hundred miles of your location.
That is exactly what I did -- search the internet and found 2 close to what I wanted in the local area at the same dealer. I went there, examined both cars, drove the one that met my desires regarding build quality and bought it. I did not order one nor wait for one. This car had only two things on it that I would not have ordered -- the Sirius and the Smoker's Group. The dealer agreed to deduct the cost of them (but left them on the car).

This way I SAW, examined, and drove the car with no obligation to buy. My experience with my last 3 LH models was rather poor on build quality and they were ordered. Never again. This car was built in 4/04, not during Jan, Feb or Mar, and delivered to me on 4/29/04.

I only had to drive 20 miles to get the car. Well within reason so far as I was concerned.
