Just bought CT tonight!
Went to the local Lexus dealer to look for a white CT with the caramel interior and the premium package.... Looks like it's a hard car to find though. There were no cars on the lot ( all sold out in just days!!) There was none coming in either due to the earthquake in Japan I guess. It was about 5 pm on Sunday so it looks a long wait or a special order... With luck on when they will get it. Then the sales manager peaked his head in and they said they have one CT coming in.... White yes, but no caramel only black leather. It was also loaded. Nav, 10 speaker sound, LED headlights, back-up camera etc. MSRP $ 38700 roughly... I didn't even know it came that pricey!! Anyway it was on a ship and should arrive on the 15th of April If we wanted it. So we haggled since we didn't want all that stuff anyway, but it was a car we could nail down.... Not wait till "it might come in, maybe 45-60 days or even longer." Damn! So we agreed on 4 year lease $429 p/month. Kind of excited and happy to be back in a Lexus!!! Are they this hard to find everywhere?? And are they moving off the lots faster than Lexus figured?? The lease seems pretty good... Any thoughts out there??

Yes. They are extremely hard to find everywhere, especially in Las Vegas and Los Angeles areas. I got exactly the same car as you. It was all they had, but it was good, since I decided at the last minute to upgrade and get it fully loaded since I would stick with this car for a while! Might as well! I LOVE this thing!

Congratulations and post pictures when you get the CT 200h. I know what you mean when it's hard to get. I actually passed up on one then a few days later another one came with with everything loaded and I jumped on it and got a better deal...

Thanks for the replies... Do all have your cars? I also have a 2008 prius package 3 touring... But the Lexus seems way nicer. I haven't even driven one yet! Ill post some pics. I really hope it gets here on the 15th. I want some 18 inch wheels for it.

We were in the same boat...found one coming into the US online about 475 miles away so we put a down on it and flew up 2 weeks later when it landed.....great car for sure...amazing handling and so confortable we did not even get out of the car the whole drive back home except to get fuel and clean the windows. Great car....
