Thumbs down Is350 Eastcoast !!!

There isn't any choices right now for the car with navi. Sport model not even out there from what i see, ml forget it never find it unless maybe on a 250. I called about 10 dealers and noone even has close to what i want. Only one i found pretty decent is a blue oynx car with gray interior and navi pkg, luxury model.......Its insane no cars are out there fully loaded !

Same goes for the west coast if you want someting fully loaded it will need to be special ordered. I guess they figure if you really want all the options you will pay for it. I know at my dealer if they have any that come that is not base is sold in less than a week.

I've only seen one at the dealership but it was already sold. IS350, silver, ML,Navi, PA.
Just stopped by the dealer yesterday, no IS' on the lot. Asked about my order, he said it has been "allocated." But he doesnt know where it is, either still in Japan, or on a boat. He said his best guess was mid-march delivery. I say BS. Im thinking the car hasn't even been made yet.

Interesting. I placed my order mid-January as well, and my dealer is also saying end of March/early April delivery as well. I'm not holding my breath, but I wonder if production is finally picking up enough to take some time off of orders.

I seriously would like to know which genious at Lexus Marketing (i assume it's their fault since they should be the ones to decide these things) is responsible for not bringing any ML packages to the East Coast. I spoke to around 20 dealers before I purchased my non-ML car and some of them told me that the representatives for the region all agreed not to bring ML equiped ISs to this area/region. GREAT!!! A group of idiots!!! I'm most definitely going to switch to an ML if they come out with a manual.

I passed on a car in Atlanta 2 weeks ago that had everything I wanted except Nav. Glad I waited. Gave Charlotte dealer deposit last week, they "preferenced" exactly what I wanted a week ago today and on Monday when they got their allocation Lexus allocated them what I wanted from a boat docking Tuesday. Car at dealership by next Monday; I'm picking up on Wednesday due to bank processing of loan.

Come on "next Wednesday". IS350 Blk/Blk, Premium Pkg, Nav, ISP's and tint!

You lucky dog! I had a deposit in with them for 3 months and the only one I got called about was taken just as my salesman walked into the mgr's office to claim it. I custom ordered and had them refund my deposit and take me off the list a couple of days ago.
