Just curious how many would go through this agony again, and, if so, would you do it with another car manufacturer? One of the reasons I chose Lexus is for the excellent reliability, not sure I would have done it with just any car.

 

I could never custom order. I'm patient with a lot of things...getting behind the wheek of my new car isn't one of them!

 

paying 40K+ for anything I want to make sure it has everything that I want. Plus its pimpin to say I ordered my car, its being customized exactly how i want it.

 

My IS is actually my second special order. I just can't think of any other way as I want a car that is made to my specifications, rather than compromising with what is on the lot.

 

I didn't exactly custom order mine, but I got exactly the car I wanted. I was willing to wait (I waited about a month or so) and the car via some trading and swapping with the allocation...whatever, I got the car when it wasn't originally destined for my local location. Now that I have this car, I will custom order the next one for sure (unless the exact one is sitting on the lot). It's a lot easier to wait four month while you are still driving "the car of your dreams" than it is to drive a piece of junk and waiting lol.

 

Yeah, this lexus was my first custom order. I had to order because none of the cars on the lot had what i wanted. MT with NAV and HIDs. I ordered 2 weeks ago, and they said it would come in 3-4 months.. I will let you guys know if everything came out right.

 

Picked up my special order IS350 on 03/18/2006 after ordering in 11/18/2005; to get exactly what I wanted was well worth the wait...if I'm going to spend that kind of money on a car, I want what I want!

 

Yep, color is not something I settle for, and given the amount of options that can be added to this car, I think its just as well too specific for me to be impatient. If anything, the waiting time just contributes to a larger allocation towards the DP.

I'd also custom order with other car makes as well. Anything over a few thousand, and I'm getting exactly what I want, or waiting until I can.

 

Yes, I would order again. Maybe a different dealer.
I would order from Rock, if I had to do it over again

 

ya i just recently ordered a Is350 they said 2-3 months .. i hope it comes on time. If not then ill be asking for serious discounts

 

We custom ordered three of our last four cars. Never had to wait four months though. The wait is killing me

Last night my wife was asking me if I should grab a BMW or Audi instead because I am driving her nuts too. I just fell in love with the IS though so I am going to stick it out till the end.
