Thumbs up Poll on ETA Special Order

Hey Guys,

Just wondering how long it took those who special ordered from the time Lexus accepted the order to the time you had the keys in your hand?

If you could list the model type, any special extras, post production stuff, that would be great too!

Mine took 3-1/2 months from ordering at dealer until vehicle arrived. It was built in Japan and delivered to east coast. Model and options in my sig.

From what others have reported, time also varies according to when dealer takes your order vs how long until the monthly acceptance of orders from dealers by corporate. Say you put in order with dealer on the 14th and corporate orders are accepted on the 15th. That makes it a lot different than if you order on the 16th and your order sits for four weeks before going to corporate.

Cool.

Mine got accepted by Lexus last week which means now it can't be changed.

Don't know how long it will take but will post with the results.

To add to what Marvin said, ETA will also depend on where the RX is built. It takes a month to make the trip from Japan to the east coast. Not sure how much less it would be to the west coast. For Canadian builds, I imagine much less. My order is in but not accepted yet. There's a good chance my 450h F-Sport will come from Japan. So I estimate April delivery. I should have a better idea by the end of the month. My current 450h from Japan took four months from order to delivery. Back then hybrids only came from Japan. Not the case anymore. The RX only takes a week to build. Make sure you check back with the dealer to find out that date. It should also include estimated arrival.

Oh wow...
Yup, mine would be coming from Canada for sure.

The thing is, I don't want the car to come until Middle of March since that is when I would know if I have to move out of the state or not..

haha. The dealer said it could take 3-5 months for them so I thought hey, this is perfect. But if it comes earlier, I don't want it to sit in the lot.

Man, I really don't want to have to cancel and put in ANOTHER order.
