Second, it believe it would make absolutely no difference in value, that is if you like that color and seat pattern.

I don't know for certain, but at times, haven't dealers had an "allotment" / allocation of orders by car type? It might have been a case of the dealer having "no allocation" and not wanting to order a car for someone with very specific tastes and risking getting "stuck" with the car.
Or - and this is more likely - it could just have been an "allotment" trade between dealers: you order this and I'll order that and we'll trade
