Gave my SoCal dealer two preferred specs on an ordered ‘26 convertible. Told him, “no ADM, no add-on’s, no BS”, just a straight Bespoke order of a ‘vert to join my ‘24 coupe. He said they don’t know if they can grab an allocation and I’m not holding out much hope. Plus, they seem to want ADM’s, even from good, past customers. ADM’s are against my religion! Especially after they gave a discount on my ordered ‘24. Besides, there seem to be plenty of low mileage pre-owned cars available if a new order is a non-starter. Or, there’s always BMW, AMG or Porsche, all of which I’ve owned before. Time will tell.

People who only buy Lexus's don't ever have to deal with ADM......

A simple answer would suffice and educate. I fess up to not being a "real car" guy. Always thought it was Administrative Documents Management (fee).
