Default Spotted: 2013 LX 570

Was at my local dealership today getting routine service on my ISF and I spotted this! I've been looking at these because the family is getting bigger, so I may pop for one in the future. Thought I'd share some pics (I only had an iPhone at the time)... not the best pics in the world.

It has PCS. You can tell by the front emblem.

Your local dealer is better than mine. A continuing story has been, "you have to buy one, and then can see what color you get, when you name comes up - then you can see one."

We are lucky, in that we spend a lot of time at a "Lexus Resort," Blackberry Farm, and they have a full fleet. I got to see the first LX-570's there, when I was told to "buy one, and then you can see it." I drove one all over the Smokey Mountains, months before my dealer even saw one.

Same for the 2013. I was told that maybe by 2014, I could see one, if I bought one first. Well, I had four to choose from at Blackberry Farm, and though they were not yet registered for highway use, I got to drive one all over about 10,000 acres of their property, and knew that was the truck that I wanted.

Some dealers are just better, than others are.

Mine is now, though we had to buy it about 1300 miles away, and ship it to AZ.

I wanted the onyx black w/ parchment, and would not take any other color/color-combo. That was the issue in AZ - they do not want to bring anything but white, or silver, into the state, even when a client wants something else.

Nice vehicle!

No. Mine came from Lexus of New Orleans, as my AZ dealers had zero incentive to get a black unit for me.

I had also found an onyx black & parchment truck in Knoxville, but as we were already headed to New Orleans, a month earlier, I opted for that one. Also, the shipping was less, than from Knoxville. The Knoxville store also provides Blackberry Farm (a Lexus Resort), with their vehicles, and they were the first place that I could even view an LX-570, when they were introduced. Locally, I was told that I had to buy one, and then take the color that came up. I only wanted onyx black. I was later told that the 2013's would not be available until Oct, or maybe Dec. Well, we arrived at Blackberry Farm in May, and they had 4 2013 LX-570's, all onyx black & parchment. That was when I quit listening to my local dealer, and took things into my hands.
