Inquiring about new vehicles online + TrueCar, never in stock. What to do?

Anyone purchase a new vehicle recently without having to prebuild one online then wait months on end for it to ship and arrive? Not vehicles like the Bronco, but general vehicles that aren’t expected to have a 12-24 month build time. I.e. 2023 Honda CRVs - they’re shown as available online, then after providing information or going thru TrueCar they’re never in stock. Would just going to the dealership in person ensure I have the best chance of obtaining a (new) vehicle? Main vehicles are Toyota + Honda, specifically 2023 CRV. TC: 150K YOE: 1

The point of the post is asking who’s successfully buying one? That’s what I’m trying to do. They’re never actually on the lot when asking about it online or seeing them on dealership web site

What does “asking about it online” mean?

Idk where you are located, there’s lot of inventory in Seattle area these days. I used autotrader to confirm the availability with dealers

Recently bought a new Honda, couldn't get the online order to work so went in person to the dealership. They didn't have any in stock but ordered it and came in a month later

That’s not bad. Which Honda did you get?

Ordered a 2022 civic sport , ended up getting the 2023 version. I ordered in Dec so not sure if it took longer due to holidays or if s month is the average
