I brought a 2022 Lexus GX here in SoCal last month. I was able to get under sticker for the vehicle which was amazing giving the market at this time. I needed up leasing, Nori green was hard to come by so I went with my next best option.

So far I have switched all the turn signals to LED, interior lights to bright white and changed the clear tail lamps to the red sport lights.

Looks good. Did you source the taillights from the dealerships parts department? May I ask how much for the tail lights. I can change them myself.

I really appreciate the heads up!

I sourced from the dealer as I have a connect there but they are online for cheaper. They are super easy to install. Check out GX BOB on YouTube for a bunch of DIY videos

Love the Red Tail lamps! I got the same color as you did with the dark rims and premium package. I asked what the cost difference was going to be if I wanted to change the clear to the red and they said $1.6K (including install) which I thought was insane. So I'll likely do it myself or buy some and have the local Toyota Authorized Repair Shop do it after I purchase them online. Looks great!

See if they'll write up a Purchase Agreement nicely by mentioning what happened. The should understand your not wanting to waste your or their time.

Let us know how it goes!
My deposit was supposedly refunded to my card today so now I’m starting all over again. Sure, I could have just paid those add-ons but why would I pay something they agreed to remove in writing? And when you add them up you’re at nearly $2,000 for what amounts to nothing more than window tint. We aren’t in a rush. The downside now is that our trade will likely lose value the longer we have to wait for one. My wife had originally wanted the white with Sepia interior and we found one. I was the one who pushed for the Black Line. That’s still what I want but there are none to be had right now.

If anyone is shopping around in the Atlanta area, PLEASE AVOID Hennessy Lexus Gwinnett.

On another note I'm reading horror stories of dealers marking up your negotiated price. How many of you bought your new GX below MSRP or at least MSRP ? This will be my fourth Lexus and I would not hesitate to drive 4 or 5 hours to another dealer who would give me a price and stand by it. I feel that my home dealer will treat me right as they have in the past.
Plug in your phone to a USB port. Hit Menu, select android auto and you are good to go when you need to use maps. EZ EZ EZ.

That does sound easy. Can't wait to try it. Two more weeks seems like forever.

Time seems to stand still doesn’t it LOL.

I went for a drive tonight just because and the triple beam headlights are awesome!

It’s such a nice driving vehicle.

When, during the production/shipping process, is the Monroney created? Thought I read somewhere that it is created when the vehicle is at the port and through customs?

Mine was created after it was processed at the port before it went to the railhead. Having said that though it was 1 month from that point to actually making it to the railhead.

Update on my 2022 GX. The dealer told me as of yesterday its sitting in CA waiting to be loaded on the train and shipped to WI! So I am guessing in the next few weeks I should expect delivery??

So one month at the port after processing before being loaded on rail? Wonder why the delay?
