Why are these being traded so soon, just diminishes the enjoyment for us who value our cars while these treat it as a commodity...maybe Lexus should stop making them afterall...

Really? Someone else selling “their” car diminishes your enjoyment?
maybe it’s not the right car for you either.

I think he meant "for us" as in the real enthusiasts who haven't been able to purchase one.

As someone waiting on one, seeing people flip the car after a few thousand miles to make money really pisses me off.

Totally understandable. If you could get your hands on one tomorrow at MSRP, would you take it? Is color a deal breaker?

I don’t have any leads, but will keep my eyes open for a friend. Dallas area dealers are selling cars at MSRP. Hope there are some late arrivals at port. Young guy at my favorite booze store jumped on one that came in by surprise about a month ago, USB I forget interior color.

I absolutely would go in on one at MSRP. No dealer within 100 miles was selling at MSRP, or said they weren't. Color isn't a huge deal, but USB is top choice with black interior.

Most likely the exhaust gasket issue?

So annoying.
well, my CEL went away on its own… didn’t drive the car sat/sun until last night and the cel was gone on startup. Drove to dinner and back, did some pulls on the way back…no CEL.

About to get 2nd oil change, I’ll have the dealer check it out.

yours may just need to have the midpipe to the header flange bolts tightened a bit.

I was just curious, when you guys get/got the check engine light for this leak, how long can you go driving the car without needing to get it fixed? Will the car eventually go limp or can you keep driving indefinitely (for example days or weeks).

Mine actually happened at around 3556 miles as I was on the way to the IMSA race at Laguna Seca. I drove it another 53ish miles to the Laguna Seca area and another 200ish home after the race. The car drove normal up to me having the gasket fixed. The check engine light actually went away on the way home as I was driving.
