Yes, you can custom order a new Honda in Panama City

Group 1 Honda Panama City offers custom ordering of a new Honda at 3601 E 15th St, and we are the only Honda franchise in Panama City. A buyer who wants a specific trim and color can place that order with us, and the store holds a 4.6 Google rating across 3,416 reviews. 83 in 100 of those reviews are five-star (Google, 2026).

Custom ordering is for the buyer who knows the exact configuration already. It gives you the build you want without waiting for the one on our lot to match it. The rest of this answer covers how the order works, which models you can name, what the order costs, and how buying online and financing fit alongside it.

How does custom ordering a new Honda work at Group 1 Honda Panama City?

We offer custom ordering of a new Honda, so the exact model, trim, color and options you want do not have to be on the lot. The choices come first, and you bring them to us. Before you call or visit, settle the model, trim, color and options, and write down the features you cannot do without.

Ask the sales team to confirm the trim, color and options in writing before you sign. A written list protects the order against a mix-up, and it gives you one page to check against the paperwork.

Which new Hondas can you order, and in what trims?

Group 1 Honda Panama City sells the Accord, Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Passport, Pilot, Prologue, Prelude, Odyssey and Ridgeline. Hybrid versions of the Accord, Civic and CR-V are part of the lineup too. The trims below are Honda’s own 2026 Pilot starting prices, and they describe only the Pilot trims listed.

A buyer who has settled on one of these Pilot trims can bring that exact trim to the sales team. Compare the starting price against the options you want, because the final number depends on what you add.

How long does a custom ordered Honda take to arrive, and what does it cost?

The arrival date is the first question to put to the sales team, and you should get the answer before you sign. Florida sets the tax and title costs you can plan for now, whatever the build and the wait. Florida charges 6% state sales and use tax on a motor vehicle’s sales price, plus any county surtax, and the surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of the purchase price (Florida Department of Revenue, Sales and Use Tax on Motor Vehicles, 2026).

Titling a new vehicle adds a fixed fee. A new vehicle on a manufacturer’s certificate of origin costs $77.25 with an electronic title, $79.75 with a paper title and $87.25 for a fast title (Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 2026). Add those figures to your order quote so the total you sign for is the total you pay.

Can you buy a new Honda online and have it delivered in Panama City?

Yes, through AcceleRide you can buy a new Honda online and have it delivered. A buyer can find a new vehicle, purchase it online, and have it delivered without a trip to the showroom floor. The order still gets the same trim and color you chose.

We also offer a secure online finance application and a payment calculator that accepts a trade-in offer amount. You can run the numbers with your trade in place before you commit. Service and maintenance appointments can be booked online too.

Can you finance a custom order and trade in your car at Group 1 Honda Panama City?

Yes. We offer Honda leases, new Honda financing and pre-owned car loans, and a First Time Buyer Program for qualified buyers with no prior auto loan history. We also buy vehicles outright through We Buy Cars, not only as trade-ins.

Our trade tool gives a trade-in price online by license plate, VIN, or make and model. The make-and-model option gives only a general estimate from historical data that could change. Trade offers depend on inspection, vehicle condition and current market value, so the in-person figure is the one to plan around.

One buyer who brought a vehicle in for a trade-in bid described the offer this way. In a July 2026 Google review, London R. wrote: “Several dealers in my area gave me quotes on a new vehicle. Matthew with Group One Honda made the best offer and gave me a very fair bid for my trade-in. I don’t live in Panama City, but it was definitely worth the drive.”

What do Panama City buyers say about buying a Honda at Group 1 Honda Panama City?

Buyers describe the sales process most often, and 30 of our 107 most recent four- and five-star Google reviews describe it. A buyer placing an order for a specific build cares about the people who explain the choices as much as the car itself. Those reviews show buyers who were walked through the trim, the color and the paperwork.

In an August 2026 Google review, Manuel R. wrote: “Our car salesmen, Mr. James Parr, was very knowledgeable, professional, and a joy to spend time with. The finance department was very helpful and ensured we understood every aspect of the purchase of out Honda CR-V.”

Frequently asked questions

Is there a deposit to custom order a new Honda?

Ask the sales team whether a deposit is due before you sign, and what happens to it if the order changes. Get the answer in writing before you pay anything. A written answer gives you a clear record of the order terms.

Should you get an itemized out-the-door quote before ordering a car?

Yes. Ask for an itemized quote that lists every fee before you sign. Florida makes it a violation to charge for predelivery service without a line item for it printed on all documents (Florida Statutes s. 501.976, 2026).

What is the difference between ordering a Honda and buying one off the lot?

A custom order gets you the trim and color you name when that build is not in stock. Our site shows 12 Accords and 3 Accord Hybrids in stock, but no Civic Type R, Civic Si Sedan or Civic Sedan Hybrid. If your build is one of those, the custom order is the route to it.

Can you schedule a test drive before you order a Honda?

Yes. Scan the QR code to schedule a test drive, and upload your driver’s license when asked. Drive the trim you are considering before you place the order.

Does Group 1 Honda Panama City sell certified pre-owned Hondas?

We sell certified pre-owned Honda vehicles. Each CPO vehicle carries an extended powertrain limited warranty and a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty backed by Honda. Each one also comes with a free vehicle history report.

Where do you service a Honda after you buy it in Panama City?

Service is at our store at 3601 E 15th St, where factory-trained technicians work on your Honda. You can book service and maintenance appointments online. The same address that takes your order also takes your car back for service.
