Default Is IS350 RWD currently in stock in any of the US region?

Hi everyone,
Like my topic says, has anyone seen the RWD version of IS350 (or F-Sport) being offered in stock? I heard a special order could take up to three-four months!! (the wait would be too long)

My local dealership was sold out when I went to test drive last week. They are getting them in regularly, though and should have one for me to drive next weekend (in theory).

As of right now, my local dealer only plans to bring in one, the one I ordered. They sell all 250 AWD.

Many can be found here in SoCal... As a matter a fact I saw a bunch in the Desert here in SoCal this past weekend...

If you dont want to wait, I"m sure a few dealers out here are willing to sell and ship to you..

Good Luck

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely check it out soon.
Just a quick question by the way: Does the configurator on the Lexus site count as special order? Meaning if I choose my own color and place whatever package is available in my region...it is considered to be a special order and therefore has to take a long time to deliver?

Not necessarily.. If its "on the ground" in your region, it should show you were...

Also, depends how many Lexus Dealerships are in your area..

Southern California has the HIGHEST number of dealerships in the Country..

I see.
So if I place an order now (with the color I want and pick whatever package is shown on the site)...how long would it take from manufacturing to arrive in dealership?

My dealer said about 3 months for a special order. If, however, you want somehting that is already on the way, it could come a lot quicker. For example, I want a 350 F-sport white/red with nav/ML. They seem to be making a lot of those so I doubt it would actually take 3 mos...

It depends on if there is one at the port or not. I have been told that cars in port take about a week for processing and then a couple of days for delivery to your dealer.
If you are looking to special order from japan then 3 months is the wait.
