Thanks for that, the GSM is now involved so all should be good.

One thing I learned in my LC search is that Lexus dealers do NOT want a $100k sports car sitting in their inventory.

This is exactly how my dealer felt too with my LC order. They wanted me to come and collect it as soon as they received it. They did ask if I wanted whatever they called their diamond coat ceramic package added, but I pushed back telling them I use a local detailer and the car will get full PPF, one stage paint correction, and ceramic coat. I did have a refundable deposit down of only 1k and we had already agree on the day of order the car will be sold at MSPR.

Hopefully with the GM looped in they are willing to come to their sense, Good luck NiceCars. Hope you get your LC soon!

Thanks, yes they backed off on the protection pkg but still want msrp. I could have gotten a few thousand off out of state and one w/o the price increase as well, but in the end we didn’t feel comfortable buying without seeing in person first, plus when you buy locally if you ever have a major issue the dealer will go to bat for you much more so than if it were bought elsewhere.

All I know is, I ordered my Bespoke Build with the Manhattenhenge Orange interior. Only a small niche of people will like that, so good luck trying to sell it if they don't agree to back off with the forced tint/ceramic BS they're trying to pull on me.
