They're not gonna ship a single car right after its built... they have to make volume to fill up a RORO ship. That can be thousands of cars. So even though your car is built, they wait for the rest of the shipment to be built.

What is the frequency of these ships to US? Is there ship daily, weekly or by-weekly from Lexus to US?

I would think that it is either weekly or bi-monthly. From your build date to ship date it is estimated that you will get your car a month after it is built. This is after shipping, customs, port assemblies, and delivery to dealership. Sony, what I'm trying to say is everything sounds NORMAL.

BTW can you give me the timeline of your order? I ordered on the 10th of OCT and have yet to hear anything from salesman. I want to know when you placed your order, and any update you got from your sales person.
