Default Waiters Club

New guy here and just received our allocation for a 350 Premium + spec’d out for my wife. I wanted to surprise her with a new vehicle and thought better of it as I may have chosen poorly although she had mentioned certain criteria that she would prefer. I decided not to make it a surprise and let her choose. Fortunately, dealer was able to secure exactly what she had chosen as it was almost impossible to find one to her spec as they were all spoken for with every dealership I had contacted. She would have been just as happy to get a lesser spec but she keeps her cars a long time so I pushed to upgrade just a bit. Hopefully she will be happy.

So now we are in the Waiters Club and fortunately only took 3 weeks to secure her car she wanted.

Just wanted to get this thread going as I didn’t find a similar thread (at least nothing with any activity so I thought we she have a place where others can tell their stories in securing their cars and the wait times that go with it.

Was told today that her new car should arrive in 4-5 weeks.

So share the stories as we all have one!

Looking forward to learning more from those who share on the various threads and have already gained much knowledge by reading through the posts.

Took us almost 9 months to get white pearl over palomino interior a couple years back. So basically hers will be white over off-white?

Gorgeous vehicle and by the way great pictures. My interior although I have the iridium outside. My choice was either white or the iridium. Both are great colors don't show dirt.

I think it’s an off-white (Macadamia). No cars on the lot that had it but she likes the lighter headliner that comes with it. I’m sure it will look great and as long as she is happy with it, so am I. Both of my cars have black interiors so having one with a brighter cabin is welcome.

I probably would have chosen Iridium if I were the one driving it but I didn’t object to the white as it does hide the dirt from a distance.

I wish our 500h had a light-colored headliner. It's DARK in there!

I think all the FSport trims get the dark headliner which I actually prefer. Our 350h with black interior has it as well. I like the cave feeling

We have had our Premium Plus for about six weeks. We were allocated what we wanted almost immediately and waited a little over five weeks for build and delivery.
Iridium with Ash interior.

Just for anyone who is anxiously awaiting the delivery of their new vehicle: (Keep in mind that the RX450h+ is made in Japan)

  1. 4/11/2025 - I noticed the RX450h+ that I wanted online and called in immediately to reserve it with $1,000
  2. 6/2/2025 - I took delivery of my car in Colorado

Here is the Delivery Timeline:
