As the title says, is there a static time each year that Lexus starts and stops taking Bespoke orders?
Maybe they stop in Oct/Nov then pick back up in May or something?
Thank you

Ordered my bespoke in June '23, took delivery in October '23.

Friend ordered his bespoke in November '24 and took delivery in July '25.

The dealers can theoretically take orders all year. How often Lexus actually assembles bespoke cars is anybody's guess. The only issue I've seen with timing is that Lexus orders some optional parts for the model year and when they run out, they don't usually get any more for that model year. So if you're hoping for dark trim and unique wheels,, I'd order the car in the summer before the next model year. Then when they get their parts order in for the new model year, you stand a better chance to get those options fulfilled.

If you're considering a bespoke, I wouldn't wait until summer 2026 to put your order in. There's a good chance that next year is the last year, everybody will be trying to get a last-year LC and if Lexus doesn't want a bunch of parts taking up space, they may not allow any bespoke builds.

Long story short, order ASAP.

 

Anyone have any updates regarding their "bespoke" orders? I placed mine a couple months ago—still no word from the dealership.

 

I turned my build sheet into my SA at the end of August (6th purchase thru him). I was told up to 9 months before delivery. He told me 6 months for my wife's 2024 GX550 OT+ and that was spot on. Ordered in Dec. Delivery in June. My 26 LC order is a bespoke build.

 

No, there isn't a fixed, static schedule for Bespoke orders. The allocation windows open and close based on Lexus's production cycles for specific models and what they call "model year changeover." These dates shift every year.

Your best bet is to talk to a knowledgeable dealer. They can see the official "sold order" calendar from Lexus and will know exactly when the next window for your desired model is expected to open or close.

 

Placed my deposit and bespoke order (2026 Nori Green Vert w / Sand Top and Toasted Caramel) on 9/8/2025. Dealer confirmed factory order acceptance on 9/17/2025 and says mine will be built in December 2025, and delivered late January to early February 2026. I was surprised, and happy, of the quick update.

 

How much of a refundable deposit did they require?

 

The deposit was $1K.

 

wonder why my dealer required $5K,maybe I look shifty.

 

Or prosperous.

 

When you turned in your build sheet did you also make a refundable deposit? If not, when will they ask for one?

 

my dealer only asked for deposit 2 mos. after ordering and the build was finalized by Lexus.

 

This is my 6th custom build from same SA. No deposit requested. The last deposit was $1000 at the time i turned in my build sheet for the GX550 OT+. I was expecting to give a deposit this time but crickets. Maybe #6 is the magic number, lol.

I think my deposit on my 24 M3 was $1000 and that was my first BMW purchase. I'm sure it varies from store to store.
