Dealer called me today to let me know my bespoke arrives late may, they didn't mention tariffs and I didn't ask. We'll see if anything changes in 2 months.

Thanks for keeping us updated on your order.

I placed mine back in February 2025 and only word from dealer is “order is in process” about 2 weeks ago.

This also includes the RCF's and IS500s.

There was a L-certified 2024 Insipiration and new 2024 Bespoke that have been sitting in the showroom for months. Both sold now.

One month on the ship, that’s a slow ship.

2 weeks to LA...a month is probably more like it going thru the canal.

This is great news and months earlier than the expected Aug timeframe

I hope the date holds and you get to enjoy it for all of the summer now instead of from Aug - on.

And with our weather here in the PNW — that’s a Bonus

Without a tariff-affected final price?

As you can see, this time frame will cause the 25% tarriff to be applied. As this car is expensive without tarriffs, I am seriously considering walking away from the purchase. Please offer your opinion on this situation. Is there any chance that Lexus would absorb the tarriff? Would you eat the tarriff?

Not sure if I heard right or how reliable the mainstream 'news' is but 47 has put a 90 day hold on tariff(s) so more countries can approach the bargaining table.

"While closely monitoring developments from U.S. authorities including tariffs, we'll continue to work on reducing fixed costs and maintain our current operations for the time being," a Toyota spokesperson said in a statement.
