Arrow Lexus dealers that publicize their allocation

I found one dealership, Tom Wood Indiana, that shares its incoming inventory:
https://www.tomwoodlexus.com/new-inv...on-the-way.htm

Do you know of any others? It would be useful to have a list of such dealerships, especially with current shortage of vehicles.

(Interesting to see that the RX350 is still being built, with the new model hitting the lots later this year.)

Lexus of Cerritos in California has vehicles In Freight searchable on auto nation website. I myself called and reserved one while still in freight, took over a month until I drove it off the lot.

I’m surprised on that entire list not a single hybrid.

In light of various other threads on CL regarding how some dealers do not want to sell out of state this seems like a good sign.

Here is JM Lexus in Margate, FL.

https://www.jmlexus.com/

Website showing 367 vehicles in inventory.
When I was there last month I saw no dealer markups or funny business on the new RX350's.
This weekend I will drive by and see how it looks for other models.

They've snatched the whole Iridium allocation in the country!

I know, right!

I live close by so if anyone needs me to go look at a window sticker just let me know with a post or can pm me.
Hybrids must be selling fast maybe since I only saw one for sale in strange greenish color when I went by last month but they had plenty of RX350's and other stuff.

Yeah that's the color. haha
Probably some people love that color but I have to squint a little but that's just me. lol
The one I saw was a RX450 and it was parked outside in the lot with the rest of the cars like dominos and looks much lighter in the sunlight to me, looked like paint had some metallic in it.

Yes, just about all Los Angeles area dealers are now stating the status of the cars being advertised. Most are "coming soon" and a few are "in stock." They have been advertising, "order/reserve your car" for some time.

If one were to place a fresh order, about how long does it usually take?

It's beautiful in person especially in the sun when the metallic green glistens

Here's a partial screenshot from the Tom Wood dealer website. Many other dealers simply say "in-transit" or similar, and not as clear as Tom Wood. The suggestion by user "tqh" for autonation is pretty helpful. I found a couple of vehicles at https://www.autonation.com/cars-for-...=lexus&cnd=new that don't appear on dealer websites.

That dealer is part of the Autonation family, so it'll be interesting to compare their website's inventory to what is shown on the Autonation website.

LC convertible in this color looks sick. It gave me Pebble Beach SC430 Tiger Eye Mica vibes when I first saw it.
