good choice on LC hybrid...Im 76 and could care less about mileage...Im in the use it before U lose it stage..pedal to the metal:}

 

Was your order accepted yet? I just placed an order for a Bespoke convertible as well today. Salesperson was a bit wishy washy on when to expect order acceptance.

 

Hey folks, sorry for the thread hijack... But my bespoke is now on a ship. I don't know when it departed, but I have a VIN and know it's headed to Vancouver BC. Is there a way to figure out which ship it's on? The CL forum has some information on tracking your NX from last year, and the tldr seems to be "if you can find the departure date you can narrow things down", but beyond that it seems to be a wait and see.

Tx in advance.

 

mine was on a ship for about 10 days to LA,should be about same as ur on the correct coast:}

 

Tx! Unfortunately I'm in Toronto. So I probably have another 10-14 on rail after it lands!

 

Received notification yesterday that my Bespoke order has been "confirmed" by Lexus. At least the process had begun....my timeline expectations are pretty low.

 

Be hopeful. I've been tracking NA orders based on what people are saying in the various forums. It seems like the average time for a US delivery is about 14 weeks from order being placed (and 12 weeks from acceptance). In Canada it's about 7 weeks longer, based on the timelines I've had on my order.

You should be able to enjoy the car for all the Fall. Fingers crossed for you!

 

Similar to you, I just heard that my LC coupe (not bespoke) is on a ship and is scheduled to arrive at port by end of this month and be at the dealer early July. I have a VIN but no other info other than that. Can't wait!

 

Found out recently that my LC hybrid is shipping out from Japan today! It's coming through Florida, so it'll be a few weeks on the boat, with delivery in four to six weeks. I've been given my VIN, and the dealership has already posted the car on their website. They gave me a few options that I did not ask for (glass breakage sensor, door edge film, charging cables); does anyone know if I'm expected to pay for those since I didn't order them? It's not that much money, but it's a principle kind of thing.

I am getting the $40 upgraded wheels, which is a nice surprise! They weren't sure I'd be able to get those.

Oh, would anybody like to buy a 2014 V6 Mustang convertible?

 

The glass sensor, door edge film, cables are likely Port Options that get applied to every order your dealer places through its distributor. You won't get out of paying for those.

I'm in FL and was forced to get the glass breakage sensor as well, but thankfully nothing more than that.

FYI my bespoke has been at the Jacksonville port. 4-6 weeks is probably a best case scenario estimate. It's a tough wait, good luck!

 

How much are they charging for the glass break and why are you forced to get one in Florida?

 

It's a port option installed by the distributor, it's charged to the dealer to obtain the vehicle and thus not up to them to remove it. You either negotiate the money elsewhere to offset it or you pay it.

It's a $465 port option.

 

glass breakage sensor, WTF? if the glass breaks its all over the place. does Lexus charge this or is it something "mandatory"the Teamsters dreamed up..

 

It's charged and installed by the local distributor. In my experience dealers don't play ball with changing port options. I'm sure it's a profit center along the supply chain but I wasn't about to blow up a deal on a 115k vehicle over $465. It is what it is.

 

same happened to me. A few extra gingerbread options added beyond what I ordered. Seems it was the factory/Lexus and not my dealer. I went ahead and accepted them, whereas the other option was to reject the car altogether. I did get the dealer to discount the selling price, so it was a bit if a trade off. Lexus options aren’t outrageous like Porsche! Take it, love it and enjoy.
