Default Want to ask about the special order process

I'm currently in the market for a LS460L. I would like to ask if anyone know which Lexus dealership in the northeast tri-state (NY,NJ,PA) area has the special order process. Thank you

I want to order an obsidian/cashmere semi-aniline leather trim with medium brown walnut accent with these options and accessories:
- Touring Package $2,985
- Mark Levinson sound system $2,530
- Intuitive Parking Assist $500
- Preferred Accessory Package $227
- All Weather Mats $99
Total price including Delivery,
Processing and Handling Fee: $78,056

Is it possible to get this combination and if it is, will it take a really long time?

you can always do a custom order. if you need to be that specific and can't take plus or minus, and it so happens that they don't have this kind of car, you can custom order that from japan, it will take about 3-4 months, and most likely you pay msrp.

and just make sure they dont' charge any premium above msrp, that's not allowed.

true, although i havent actually heard of a dealer trying to charge extra for a special order, just not much discount, if any. lexus really frowns heavily on "ADM" on hot models, and have been known to reduce a dealers allocation of that particular model if they find out a dealer is charging ADM

very true, which is what i like about lexus. they keep it up but never overboard, and they don't allow dealerships to take advantage of it.

i just want to make sure the OP doesn't get the BS from dealership saying the msrp is xxxxx, but since it's special order they have to finish this and that paperwork and that cost another 2000 bucks. that's complete BS
