Default Anyone Have Performance w/ NAV??

I was wondering if anyone has the RX330 with the Performance and NAV package, Lexus seems to have taken that combination off their website. I have one on order for almost two months now, but has not been put into production yet.

I picked up my RX with those options on April 29. Really like the car with those options. On the Lexus site with my zip code, that option pkge is still available with AWD. If you selected FWD, try selecting AWD.

As far as I know Lexus does not build Performance with Nav for the west coast. Other areas of the US can get the car. Thus the car can be built, it's just that for the west coast they decided not to offer this combination. This means you will not be able to walk into a dealership and buy one off the lot. You might be able to do a dealer trade with someone in another part of the US, but this is hard to do. The real question is can you special order the car, or will the special order not work either.

I had to special order my RX330 because of the color combination I want. While I was at it, I had the dealer throw in the Nav package as a second choice. It has been about 6 weeks, and I have no indication when the car is comming. It could be the case that the car just never arrives. My dealer will not give me any assurance as this is all up to the discression of Lexus. Has your dealer given you any indication of when your car might arrive? If it wasn't such a great car I would go somewhere else! Unfortunately I am stuck just like you.

At the time that I placed the special order, the combination was available in my area, but recently they took it off the website. My special order was accepted by the district manager and was sent to the factory, but the recent update i have gotten from my dealer is that my car has not been built and they are not sure when it will be built. When I asked for ML with the performance and NAV, it was rejected, but my current combination of performance and NAV was approved so hopefully my RX will be built soon.

We are in the same situation. It is supposed to be a "June build" and dealer expects it to be delivered sometime in July, but has not given me anything more specific as far as dates are concerned.

I ordered one for my customer and I was told since it's a "special order", August is likely the delivery date. I placed the order about a month or so ago...perhaps a month and a half........Since you are in California, we should get them about the same time. And you should be able to get some kind of confirmation from your dealership. Did you give a deposit?

they've got em on the lots here in N. Texas. I wonder how much it would cost to ship one to California? When I was first looking at the RX330's my salesman told me he had a nationwide network of Lexus dealers he could choose from - and he could have one delivered but that would mean less "wiggle room" on the deal he could give me. But if I lived in Cali and were having these issues I'd much rather take less off the price and get my vehicle NOW.
