Default Dealer Called Today

QikSilver is scheduled to arrive at the dealer on Feb 25th.
I will not make the Valentine's Day but at least it is on the inventory now.

Odd that they still could not tell me if the factory honored the request for black headliner. We will have to wait to see it to find out.

Keep us posted on the headliner. 100% certain it will be light gray.

I special ordered my IS without a moonroof (before they announced it would be standard). It arrived with one...

I think it'll come standard with light gray.

Would be nice if it did come with black headliner.

Good luck!

They told me my order would come in on February 10th and I got it in on the 1st so there is still hope for a Valentines arrival

Congratulations!!

Lexus doesn't offer black headliner in any of its model. The picture of the interior with "black" headliner in the sales brochure was taken in low light, giving the false impression of it being black.

Picked up the car today. Gray headliner. It did come with the rear spoiler which they could not tell me at the dealer. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=202958
I love the car. The ride is MUCH better than the IS300 I was driving until this came in. The steering is much more like a real car. The 300 was way too sensitive to movement.
Now I have to get used to the keyfob thingy and figure out how to program the garage door.

Congrats!!

Well, the steering wheel feel, is subjective. Since most people on this message board is performance enthusiast, Some prefer the more road feel of the IS300. Some prefer the newer ones, for it's smoothness.

So.....where the pics at?

Well, I am coming from Vettes, M3's, Miatas, and I think the 350 gives me MORE feedback and LESS drifting than the 300 did. I felt the 300 had too much steering assist.

I thought you'd have it now for certain. I've had mine for 1 month exactly (ordered Oct 17). If you missed the monthly cutoff of Oct 20th (I believe), you would have made the Nov 20th cutoff and should have received yours by now. Any updates?

Greyhound, do not get down. It will happen. The last couple of days b4 ours came in, I was dying.

It is also difficult to determine exactly when your order went in because each dealer has a designated order date. This means if you order on the 10th, and the dealers order date is 20th, even though they enter the order on the system on the 10th, the actuall order does not get placed until the 20th.

They will be able to tell you when the VIN hits their inventory (on the boat), then you have about two weeks to the port, 3 or 4 days to clear port, then 3-5 days on the truck, depending on when it gets loaded in their route,

Good Luck,
Hang In, It is Worth It,
