Hey guys, long time lurker soon-to-be AND first-time Lexus owner of an IS 350 F-Sport hopefully sometime within the next week

I was wondering if anyone within the northeast tri-state area (NJ, NY, CT) received their cars yet? I live in NYC and still have yet to see one on the road but I've seen them at dealerships. Apparently mine arrived at Newark port July 1st and my guy told me it should take about 7-10 days to get to them. The wait is definitely killing me after seeing all these beautiful pics of the car on here.

Looking forward to joining you guys soon

I live in Brooklyn, NYC, and I still haven't gotten my IS350 F-Sport yet. I ordered it on June 19 at Bay Ridge Lexus. Which dealer did you order yours?

Alius

I went to Lexus of Massapequa, placed my order June 15th. Did Bay Ridge tell you at least if it arrived at the port?

I called the Toyota Motor Logistics Center at the port directly because I wanted to make sure myself in case my guy was lying to me, I gave the operator my VIN# and she confirmed it arrived, just not sure when it will be released after passing through customs, inspections, etc.

Here's their page if you want: http://www.panynj.gov/port/vehicle-s...rocessing.html

Thanks for the link. I will go check it out. My sales rep couldn't even tell me the exact date, but he said he would give me a surprise - lol. Yes, I also have the VIN#. Anyway, I will go cancel my order if Bay Ridge Lexus fools me.

Alius

Yea no, don't let them string you along for no reason. At least you deserve to know if it arrived at the port or not, definitely give them a call and see, they're open from 7 to 3:30 PM.

Hey doctorttt, any update on your car yet? Or from anyone from the tri-state area for that matter?

doctorttt

Hey there, nothing on my end. I have already seen a number of IS250's on streets in NYC. Where are the 350's???

What about you? Any update from your dealer?

Alius

Yea just like the 2IS, the 350's are gonna be a rare breed haha.

My dealer is telling me any day now so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully we both don't have to wait too long.

Alius

So an update: my dealer just told me I can pick up the car tomorrow.

I still haven't seen any 350 F-sports in the NJ/NYC area so definitely excited to be one of the firsts.

Hopefully you get good news soon, doctorttt.

Congrats. Finally some 350s are showing up in the Northeast. Is yours RWD or AWD?
I am still waiting on a 350 F-Sport RWD that I ordered in May.

Alius

Thanks! Very excited to see other 3IS's on the road here in the northeast. I got the AWD just because there's winter here, otherwise I would've opted for the RWD.

Did your dealer give you an estimated time of arrival at least?

kabgolf1

I was told 2-3 months. It was a special order as it is a RWD with all options. Everything coming into the east region is AWD.

Alius

Yea, that's why is gonna take awhile, what color combo did you get?

kabgolf1

Ultra White/Rioja Red
