A salesperson in Plano (near Dallas) at Park Place Lexus just told me the dealership is getting 8 new vehicles allocated per month. THe current customer wait list is already 10-12 months.

I spoke to the salesperson further and he said its just too early to know when the orders will get filled. We have 2 big Lexus dealers in Dallas (Sewell & Park Place). Between these two dealers they've only delivered 25 cars since its January introduction.

Right now after speaking with the GM of one dealership and the salesperson of another I'm estimating that the wait time for a new LX in Dallas is about 4 months.

What kind of wait times are you hearing in other areas of the country?

One of my neighbors is the owner of a Mitsubishi dealership here in Dallas. He pulled some strings for me and has an '08 LX570 white/tan coming by March 1.

Very nice. Is that the color you want ?

Can you tell us what options and accessories are included.

Remember to post some pics.

AzleHorn

No, I wanted Silver...not sure about options yet.

Some of you guys might want to kill me for this but I must say I'm living right (or just really lucky).

I'm up in Toronto on business. About 45 minutes after I landed my Lexus salesperson called me to say he had a Silver/Tan LX570 on the lot with my name on it. They used it for the demo for about 4 days and it has 269 miles on it.

Anyway, we both scrambled to get all the papers exchanged and when I arrive back home tomorrow I'll be picking it up!

I know for sure that there are 130 people on the wait list for this vehicle at this dealership but I'm only one (of 3) looking for this color combo. The most popular choices are black/tan & white/tan.

I'm really pumped about this since my research only started about 4 weeks ago and my first LX570 test drive was about 2 weeks ago.

I'll post pics over the weekend for you guys!

I have a silver/grey w/o rear entertainment. Came w/3 sets of mats -$500 worth of options??? $83K and change. Worth waiting for. Think the dealers are hyping to keep price and what they have as "packages" seem in demand.
Can't get the garage door opener synched though.

trusso

are you pushing the "learn" button on the actual motor unit of the garage door?
I always forget that part....

Where are those pictures ??

AzleHorn

I've been on the road a lot (out of town) so I haven't had a chance to post pictures yet. I will do this over the weekend. I have about 476 miles on my LX570. I've already ripped about 40% of the memory in the HDD. I wish you could make selections and use the darn system while you're driving but there are obvious saftey concerns with that as I now realize why they've made this dummy-proof

Anyway, I'm loving the SUV. I'll put some pictures up here in the next 24 hours! Sorry for the delays.

You are a very good photographer.

Who did the window tint? Looks like a very professional job. If you don't mind posting, what was the cost? Love that Mercury Metallic!
