Allocation Sheets for Inventory Searches
Found an allocation spreadsheet that listed various Lexus models (and other car manufacturers). It was handy and allowed me to filter out cars that didn't have the options I wanted etc
However, the sheet stopped being updated as of a few weeks ago (no idea why).
Where do they pull the information from? If anybody knows.
Sheet in question;

Guy probably has a script he runs and is on vacation, or the machine that runs it updated and broke something. People have already commented to try and ping him, but his system that checks for that is probably broken too 
A couple years ago there was a way to "encourage" a Toyota build sheet portal to display extra information. You could give it any VIN. Thus, knowing a VIN generation pattern you could repeatedly try every possible VIN. I think Toyota locked it down to require a HMAC or key of some sort. I don't know how he pulls the data now.
I showed the dealership the sheet for the IS500 (they seemed cool and didn't give af) and they said it was almost the same information they see on their dealer portal. Some dealerships will mark a car as "on hold" with a deposit, others mark it as "pre-sold" with deposit.
