We have an IS350 on order and our delivery date seems to have gotten pushed out. Originally they told no later than 12/20 now it's 12/28. Any insight to when the NW dealer's will really get cars?
Was it an order or just allocation? For a special order to arrive in Dec, you must have ordered it in Aug/Sept.
It was an allocation. We placed a deposit on 11/22, on 12/2 we got confirmation that the dealer was getting the car in their December allocation. They said usually 2-3 weeks after confirmation they will have the car ready to deliver. We are at 3 weeks now looking at another week to 10 days according to the dealer. Hoped it would be in before Christmas. Doesn't look good.
if oregon is anything like washington, the allocation is all a load of bs. In my experience anyways. I was told the color I wanted wouldnt be in the dealership for a month. I went to another dealer was literally hours from putting a deposit down, and got a call on my cell phone from the 1st dealer.
Yes saying "we just got the color you wanted unexpected" So, personally I dont really think the lists are real. Just a estimated delivery census at the most.
I got mine two weeks ago at the Lexus of Portland. Your's coming to the same place? Dealer said it would be in on Dec. 7th and it came in a few days later on a Friday. Pretty good on schedule. Once it came in he said it would take a few days to get prep. and wouldn't be ready till Monday. I think he just wanted to weekend off but I talked him into picking it up that weekend so he had it ready Sunday morning. Even drove it into the showroom.

Lex,
Do you know when yours was allocated to the dealer? Ours was allocated on 12/1 but they keep waffling on the delivery date. If they don't make the 28th we will look elsewhere.
