Excellent! I am waiting for mine now. 3 weeks in and still some time to go. Stand up job on Longos part to take care of you like that. I ordered from South Bay Lexus as they are down the street. Had the best experience also. Congrats again it looks great with the spoiler.

I will keep you posted. I ordered mine on the 14th and told the same 2-3 months. I ordered the HUD so that may cause mine to go longer. The wait is killing me already.

I didn't do hardly any negotiating and ordered it for $500 over invoice. I think that's roughly $3,500 off MSRP with the F-Sport, NAV, ML, HUD, BSM, & PA.
MSRP $58,850, Invoice $54,697
MSRP $58,850, Invoice $54,697

I have the lighted sills on my 08 GS. They always bring a smile to my face when getting in/out of the G at night.
Expect you should enjoy yours even more since they were no cost! Enjoy your new ride!!

On November 13, 2012, we placed an order for a GS 350. We wanted the heads up display and Radar Cruise Control along with the Luxury Package, ML Audio, Navigation and Parking Assist. The car arrived at the Port of Long Beach on January 23 and at the dealer today, January 26. It was 74 days or 10 1/2 weeks from ordering to delivery.
When the car came in there were three options on it we did not order; a rear spoiler, illuminated door sills and the rear trunk mat, net and wheel locks. These three options stickered at $1062. The dealer (Longo in El Monte) and CA (Steve Johiro) handled it well and covered the cost of those options.
If you're in So Cal, I would recommend contacting Steve Johiro, Very easy to deal with, honest and no BS.

Thanks for all of the kind comments.
We paid at invoice minus $1500 conquest rebate; Sticker was $60,410 (not including $1062 for the last three options that we weren't charged for) and we paid $55,307.
The Lexus is my son's. I got to do the leg work and negotiations (which I enjoy). I loaned my son the 535I for the ten weeks he waited for his car to come in. Both cars are similarly optioned; HUD, Radar Cruise, heated/ventilated seats, high end stereo, navigation, parking assist, rear camera and more. After he has his car for a couple weeks I'll quiz him and post here and on Bimmerfest.
If I had to guess they will be well matched with each having it strong points, and weak ones.
