If you are from USA theres only one vehicle carrier that left from Toyohashi to Panama canal. Its name is Aida. Now its heading towards panama and I think it will be there around next week. From there onwards it will go to Jacksonville and Newark. It looks like your's and my cars are in the same boat. I ordered Cavier exterior, Red Interior with F sport and ML with safety system plus. Mine is a AWD. I m from north east what about you? By the way you can track the ship from here http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/...5a457be411061e

It should be there in Jacksonville around 23-24th. Then unload it install accessories which I heard for lexus is kept minimum unlike toyota. Load it to a truck off it comes to charleston. I think you should be able to get the car before the end of this month. So please update me, I want to know how long will it take to load it to a truck once it get to Jacksoville. If its possible please ask from your dealer to send you the pipeline info.

Car is here. for pickup in two days, Need to change tires to Michelins and install clear bra on hood and front fenders.

Ordered 2/10/2016 and at dealer 3/20/20

6 weeks seems like pretty fast service to me.

Thats strange, according to your first comment it left at 02/29 and that ship just left panama and on the way to Jacksonville. Probably dealer is giving you a one they just received. There was another ship left from Japan on 02/18th which came to Newark in 03/18.

Night vision is no longer available. I believe it was discontinued after MY2013.
