So I put down some money too but it didn't appear to be all that official. Nothing was even in the system, no "order" was actually taken; more like a promise. Is this any different from anyone else?

When I put my money down it guaranteed I would have first choice, but they did not know exactly what is coming in.
My choices: Black or Tungsten Pearl, with the Premium Luxury Plus Package w/ 18" wheels and Mark Levinson w/Nav
I'm hoping to find out more details this week.

My understanding is that the deposit is refundable, so you could leave a deposit and change your mind later. Or wait and take the chance that there will be a run on the cars when they get here and you end up waiting another 6 months to get one.

Also decided to change my request to an IS350 instead of the IS250 manual. I thought the manual would get better gas mileage, but the 350 is pretty much equal, AND 100+ more ponies.
Thanks flipside909 for posting those EPA ratings and helping me spend more money

That's o.k., I do it too. Fun huh?

Anyway, you've got quite a bit of places to choose from up here. Looking forward to it.

i did get the call later that week.. but they only specified that there will be 20 to 25 IS250/IS350s arriving in the first shipment at that dealership. and they're willing to do a vehicle swap w/ any of the other 3 lexus dealers in town if needed.
