Is It Time to Give Up on My 350 Hybrid Order?
#16
I lucked into mine in Texas as I was coming in to buy a 2023 ESh, and I was told someone had just walked from their RXh reservation while the car was in transit. I waited a week and a half.
My sales guy, a family friend, showed me his stack of people with money down on BHEV or PHEV NX and RX models. I feel for those who have been waiting. I had given up on waiting for three months for a car from another manufacturer, so I was back at the Lexus dealer for a ESh that turned into a RXh.

If you go with the Volvo, GOOD LUCK! I have owned 3 Volvo's in the past 11 years, of different years, and 2 of the three were so problematic and incredibly expensive to repair that I got rid of them long before I had ever planned to. I am DONE with Volvo.

Anyone here watch the "Joan is Awful" episode of Black Mirror? Well, lo and behold, the Lexus dealer called tonight and said I can pick up our 350h Friday (stat holiday in Canada, but whatever). Except we are 600 kms from home. need a hitch, tire swap, tech walkthur, PPF, sell old car, insurance, plates etc. I am honestly so disappointed in Lexus - they totally dropped the ball on this, Oh, I'd have to fly home, too - just to put it in storage.

Like Blue Rodeo says, "Bad timing" that's all.

I am waiting for a call from my sales rep. The GM is apparently going to do "something". But at the end of the day, they want their $65K as per the contract. What a ****e-show. Between the lousy dealer experience and all the reports of issues like dash separation, etc. I am starting to regret this whole thing.

The RX-350h seems to be the crowd-pleaser so I could see dealers adding a little "market adjustment" to it.
Not too much maybe 1-2k. The local dealer in Durham, NC has a hybrid line close to 100 people long. I did have to wait for my RX-500h since Jan but they are saying the line for hybrids will extend into 2024 (with 2024 prices).
All of the models nicely equipped (Levinson, pano, etc) seem to come in at around 65k hybrid or not with the RX-500h near 70k.
Good luck to those waiting for their vehicles and my experience in the last 12 days has been AWESOME. Lexus is offering discounts on the non-hybrid models.

We take delivery of our Nori Green Luxury 350h on Monday. It will have been 11 weeks since we put down a deposit. We were told three to four months. Our rep told us one of their sister dealerships had a cancellation and so they offered it to us. During that time, I found two others within 150 miles, both listed as "Available" for at least a week on the allocation spreadsheet. I called to inquire and both dealers said they couldn't sell it to me because I was outside of their geographical area and it would mess up their allocation. Yet two weeks ago, I talked with a 2023 NXh owner who drove 450 miles to buy it. Go figure.
