the salespeople are living high on the hog now till old inventory runs out.
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.

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

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

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

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.Originally Posted by SRMLS
I have waited patiently for my 2025 bespoke coupe to be built and shipped. I was informed by my dealer on February 25th, that my car would enter the factory for assembly on March 21. The vehicle was completed on March 24. The vessel departure date is March 31. Arrival in Long Beach is scheduled for April 17. Delivery to dealer sometime after April 22. 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?
