Default 450h F-sport hard to find

I have been looking for White RX 450H F-sport with red interior for about 3 months now (NYC area). Two dealers said they will special order it. One of them already stated that once the car arrives they will want to renegotiate the price, other doesn't responds at all. This is just crazy did not realized Lex is so back up on production.

You're lucky there are so many dealers in the area. You can buy from other states and have them ship it or go pick it up. You may even save some money that way!

It'll be worth it!

Thing is, there are only 4 models like this in US. And all are way to far for dealer to take.

When I bought mine, there were only 6 in the nation with the exact color and options I wanted. You can either relax your criteria or try to work with the dealerships that have your 4 models.

Great choice! That's the exact combination I have!

In Hawaii, 95% of the 450h are F Sport models. Most have black interiors though, I had to special order my red interior as well. This was back in Oct 2017.

I understand completely. Been looking for Nebula Gray Pearl with Flaxen interior. No luck so far.

Is there a way to do a dealer inventory search? Lexus website doesnt seem to have that feature (well it does but only for certified pre-owned vehicles).

How can I search dealer inventory for new models? Thanks.

Tedious but just change the Zip Code you enter into the website.

LOL - I went to “look at cars” yesterday, and ended up driving home with that exact car! I’ll admit - they had it priced over MSRP...and I paid it!

Yes my dealership had it but would not budge too much off the discount i think it was 63k here in cali lowest they could give was 5k off. A bit pricey and out of my range
