I don't believe Lexus builds to order, at least in the USA. If you use the Lexus build app I'm sure the real purpose is for you to send your request to a dealer who will then survey all available stock and try to find you a best match. That match might include some dealer installed options.

I see quite a few at Massachusetts dealers. Seemed for a while after Covid, it was tough to find anything but base models, and Lexus wasn’t taking orders. Now I see a fair amount of luxury, ultra luxury, and F sports in local inventories.

My salesman says two to three months for delivery of custom ordered car. No later than May 2024 for a 2024 model.
incidentally, his information is that 2025 will be same as 2024 model with only a few very minor tweaks.

I was just at Lexus dealership yesterday and asked that question. NO you can not order any car. I'm thinking then why does Lexus have a "Build Your Car" feature? I guess so they can send you to the dealer who has your closest match.
Also my Grapevine, Texas dealer said they can not bring in a car from another lot, even if owner of there lot. He did say you can check cars "In Transit" from one other lot they own in Plano, Texas and can get a in transit car only.

I was told last November that "Build your Car" attempts to match your preference with future allocations and you really could not truly "custom order" a Lexus.
But lots of Lexus Dealer websites currently indicate you really can tweak your car down to the atomic level, or maybe the websites are not current?
What's your bargaining power for a true custom order?

That's odd, when I click on my original "Custom Order" link in Post #13 it works
