Default How long does a factory order take?

I ordered my IS 350 on 11/15/07 and the dealer said they were placing the factory order on 11/20/07. If you ordered your IS from the factory, how long did it take? My dealer told me 90 days but I'm hoping that is slightly over-estimated.

I searched the forums several times trying to find a thread on this but had no luck. I'm getting tired of walking to work

I would say that 90 days is on the low side of the estimate; there have been cases of 6 months before.

Sorry.

From what I've read,I'd say 4 months is the average waiting time.

My order took exactly 4 months, but it was a part of the first batch of 08's

Sorry.
Anything thats 6 months + is a dealer screw up....

My Special Order went in on 6/20/07 and was told approx. 3 months..

I got my 08' on 9/13/07.. So it took exactly 2 months & 3 weeks..

As long as the dealer has an allocation to give up for a Special Order it should take no longer than 3-4 months TOPS..

well, looks like 56 down and 34 to go if I'm lucky. I'm pretty sure the dealer gave up an allocation for my special order. A friend of mine ordered a BMW from the factory in Germany and it was here in 4 weeks. shrug :/

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Yup, my BMW, one of the first 6k e90's in '05, arrived in a little over a month. It just isn't something that Lexus is very good at yet.
