went to a dealer in illinois and was told that they will not sell any cars until the recall has been performed. they said no one in illinois has done the recall because the dealers are waiting for the part that won't come until august. not sure if this dealer is telling the truth or what?

Talk about a frustrating issue...(I had originally posted this on the LS page): I purchased a cpo 07 gs350 almost a week and a half ago, and although I knew about the recall I was surprised to find out that I wouldn't be taking delivery of my car for an undetermined amount of time. Frustration because this is my first Lexus!! Here I am sitting on my butt waiting, and getting even more discouraged as I hear that I might have to wait until sometime in August. Man, I'll have to make my first payment on a car before I even get a chance to drive it.
Arghh!
Arghh!
If the refuse the only argument they can make is - its too late. you bought it you own it. At that point you can say then give me my car or I will call the cops.

Seems crazy. I would ask for you money back and tell them that they are voiding the contract by failing to deliver the car.

Do I want to cancel the deal? No, the car is perfect, and I'm tired of searching! However, I'm definitely going to discuss a possible waiver...it makes sense. Also, regardless of this issue the dealership experience has been awesome. I just hope we can come to some sort of compromise (money off, credits, etc...especially if it drags on).
Wrong time, wrong place...if it weren't for the recall issues haunting every manufacturer right now I'd be spending this sunday cruising the roads of the Texas hill country!
Either way, the hunt for information is driving me nuts! I wish corporate would've at least updated their original press release...dated two weeks ago....

Yup, mine's on the list too! - This one I don't mind, as it will probably be fixed the first time.
It's the 4 visits for the same rattles that really **** me off! - My rattles are fixed now, but it's July. We'll see what happens in December! I've been on Genesis forum a lot lately and have not seen any problems of the magnitude that I've had with this car!
