Has your dealer searched current inventory in the Southeast (or Northeast if you want AWD)? They can also search what is in the pipeline at the factory and what is on the boat. I would at least try that first, before special ordering one. They'll charge you a transportation fee if they have to truck it in from somewhere, but that minimal cost would be worth it to not wait 4 months for a car.

if you arent really looking for an Fsport (for its features) you can build one... get a premium model and get the front bumper, rear spoiler and wheels!

Your talking over 5k I believe to add that stuff. Think I would look for another color.

I think you meant "Luxury Package" with Factory Spolier.

Then All you need is the Front Bumper, Rear Valence + Badges..

Then get aftermarket wheels..

I think I will skip building a F Sport. I will just have to make the dealer work a little harder to close the sale by widening the search a little more and revisiting my option list.

Im talking about premium package, why build off from a luxury when you are just looking at the asthetics - no need for sport +

Re-Read the 1st post... The OP wanted to Special Order an F-Sport..

Closest to it would be a "Luxury Package".. (for what they come packaged with)

Premium is just about as base as you can get...

I truly feel silly right know. I had no idea that the Lexus website shows you package choices based on your region. It makes all the sense in the world from a sales and marketing perspective but it confused the heck out of me. I have been dealing with a dealership in Northern VA and one in Durham, NC. I could not figure out why none of the F Sports the dealership in NC was offering had the cold weather package but all the F Sports in NOVA did. It finally dawned on me to put a NC zip code in the Lexus site to see what choices came back. Sure enough, the cold weather package was not included as part of any of the F Sport option packages. Now that I know this, it changes the dynamic for me because I do not need the cold weather package which in turn saves me some money.
