Default 2023 LC 500 ordered.

I placed my order on 10/28/22. Dealership tells me it will be 4-9 months before I get her.

2023 LC500 Cloudburst Grey - Red Circuit Interior - Dynamic Handling Package - Every add.

And now I wait.

Will be trading in my 2017 GS 350 F Sport.

Does Lexus provide a order # and is there a way to track the build?

My dealer said they were not taking any orders.

My dealer is allotted 2 orders per year on the LC - they have given me 1 of the 2 allotments. Not sure about details after they have been awarded their allotment.

Nice! if youre getting jerked around in richmond try regency Lexus. That's where i got mine. Talk to Andrew their GM and you'll see. This guy is on a whole different level of professionalism vs any other dealer I've been to. I tried northshore lexus and they sucked as well.

Hmm, is ordering an LC only possible in Canada? I'm having a hard time of it in the States. I've been calling nearly every dealer across every State.

There timeline is about right. Roughly 9 months for a ‘custom’ build. Our 2022, ordered 1-5-22 came on 9-23-22.
The wait is worth it.

Yeah this is bizarre to me. Why so easy in Canada, but.........seemingly impossible in the U.S.?

I second this. Every dealer I called in the U.S. (I called almost every state) said they have no clue when they'll get MY2023 allocations (if they'll even get allocations).

And if they DO get allocations, it's pre-built and just sent over to the dealer for approval; if the dealer accepts, then they're stuck with 1 or 2 LC's that has a pre-determined build, and not Bespoke.

Almost no dealers know anything about the Bespoke Program. They all had to look it up when I mentioned it.

Coming from BMW M, this is insane to me. You can literally order an M any which way you like it. Not sure why this can't be done easily on a Lexus.
