Hello....I put an order in for a 2025 Lexus RC 350 (atomic silver and red interior) on December 18/2024. The sale person showed me a copy of the order on their computer so I know it was ordered. (it showed pending fulfilment) To date I have heard nothing regarding the status of my vehicle. Would anyone know the current time lines I should be looking at. In general I was told 3 months until delivery but nothing specific.. I live in Canada not far from Toronto . I appreciate your assistance

Hi, I was going to do the same thing. But here in Connecticut, dealers told me that Lexus was not accepting orders for the RC 350. They were only making RC350 F-types and those only in the Mica Blue, White, Red and Black. I would have considered Mica, but my winter car is a navy blue and didn’t want two blue cars. I wanted an atomic silver with red, exactly as you. So I went online and located a 2024 with exactly what I wanted. I wanted an AWD (better on wet pavement) and there was only ONE in the entire US. If you don’t need AWD, there are two in the US in your preferred color combination. If interested, please respond and I will look again and let you know which two dealerships have them. Best of luck.

Hi just read a post by someone named rossage a few down from yours. It was asking about comparison of RC vs RC F-type. Look it up. It corroborated what Connecticut dealers told me. Quite interesting.Originally Posted by Lummer64

In Canada they only sell AWD RC vehicles. If you want a 350 then you only can get F sport 3...which is what I want anyway...so they sell cars by total packages...very different than is the USA.......I still haven't heard anything from the salesperson on my order..I will reach out and let you know what I find out
Salesperson says he wont be able to get an update on the vehicle for a couple of more weeks. That sounds crazy to me. I would think the salesperson could track the vehicle as it went through the production and delivery steps. Has anyone dealt with Lexus and their ability to keep update on a vehicle?

I kind of was in the same situation you are in when I was looking for a rwd RC350 non-F sport a few months ago. I spoke with several dealers in my area (Phoenix), and was told that you cannot order a Lexus per se (except the LC), but they could request an RC allocation to your spec. But it is up to Lexus to decide if the allocation would be filled. Also at the time (late 2024), the local dealers here were not sure if the RC was going to be continued for 2025. So with that uncertainty, I searched the country for an RC in the preferred color, white pearl, and depending on the source, there was nine in the entire county. All but two had a black interior, which I did not want. There was one with a rioja red interior and another with a caramel interior. So in the end, I purchased the RC with the caramel interior out of Houston and drove it back to Phoenix. Originally Posted by Lummer64

thanks for the information. In canada right now all the dealers I have spoken to have said it has to be ordered( I believe because they do not want to carry any unsold inventory) If ordered they all state 3 months until delivery. I did a lot of surfing and searching last night and found a couple of American dealers that have inventory per se as they they show the 2025 RC is in transit...and stating arrival date before march 8, 2025. Lots of other dealers in USA taking orders for the 2025 RC. I guess I learned at least the production of the RC is in place and they are producing the vehicles now. I wasn't sure if the production had yet started as of yet

Hi, I found an AWD in your color combination for $63K USD in Chicago at McGrath Lexus. Don’t know if there is any difference between an American and a Canadian model. If there is no difference, then I would make an offer on this one. Seems like the dealer is giving you the run around.
