Delivery Update
Thanks to airtime for checking this car out for me:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...llevue-wa.html
Here is the latest update:
- Car was loaded on the truck on Thursday, 2/4 and has an estimated delivery date of 2/11.
- Dealer sent the title to their agent near one of the two DMV locations where they issue instant titles. The agent took it in and was told to come back next Tues. or Weds. because the DMV office was out of paper to print the titles.

^^^^ The sales manager was only willing to drop the price about $500 to $25,500. I figured they had other interested parties and the dealer was planning to send the car to another AutoNation dealership if it didn't sell within 2-3 weeks.

Further update:
- Transport company says delivery is delayed from Thursday to Sunday due to weather.
- Dealer continues to say that repeated visits to the State of Washington DMV office have not succeeded because the office keeps running out of titles. Uh, huh. They said they hope to have a title to send me early next week. Well, due to the Presidents Day holiday, we know that won't be until later next week. Since that will be more than 15 days after the sale date, the State of Michigan may charge me a fine due to the delay. (I doubt they will believe a shaggy dog story about Washington running out of titles.) I told the dealer I need a title by this weekend.
(Update - I called the license / title office and the shaggy dog story is true. They ran out of titles. The new titles were a different format. They had to change the programming of the printers, and that ran into problems.)

It's been more than 10 business days since I got my LS and I still haven't received my title. Washington state appears to have some serious issues now. At least my temporary tabs and registration are good until the middle of March...
