Or can they forgo that and have their first delivered car spec'd to a customer order? I suppose if the car does not come out of allocation, and does not bump customer orders back at all, then there would be no reason for a dealership to refuse it. Surely they'd be able to sell them in fairly short order, regardless of spec.
My CA indicated their first allocation was their "demo" car, but they had made the business decision not to have one, so it was offered up for customer spec.
