Default Special Order GS Arrived - 10 1/2 Weeks - With Some Extra Options

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.

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 like the spoiler. If the TRD spoiler never comes out I'll probably get this one instead.

Thats weird that they would just randomly add those options to a special order car

Beautiful car! Congratulations. Those lighted sills do look great. I think the rear spoiler is a requirement with the 4GS. I don't like the look at all without it.
