Hi all, looking for a new NX350H for my wife and wondering if anyone in the forum are in this area and can recommend a good dealership. I called Lexus of Seramonte and they want $2K over MSRP and that’s on the waiting list.
thanks in advance.

Lexus of Pleasanton doesn't mark up their cars but they are giving preference to customers who have bought or serviced with them in the past. I think it's worth contacting them. They refused to sell to non-local buyers because they already have a long wait list. If you already own a Lexus maybe you could get it serviced from them next time and become a preferred customer.

Not exactly a recommendation but I would avoid Putnam Lexus in Redwood City. They're going to try to charge you a ridiculously high markup and then be extremely hard to reach after they get your deposit. The SA I worked with seemed super annoyed every time I called to get details (she kept saying she would give me info then never followed up).

BTW, the best deal in the Bay Area is currently Pleasanton Lexus. No markup, but they do add $499 Tint and $198 "Nitrogen" (which I think is BS), given the current market condition it is what it is. I might just wait for a few more months and see what happens to the market.

Thx for the tip. Actually I bought my 2017 ES350 from Putnam back in 2017 and their Internet Sales were great. Maybe things have changed........

Just got a reply back from the Longo Lexus at El Monte, the current wait on a NX350H is 2 years and they are no longer taking orders from customers.
However the salesperson said they are still taking order on the NX350 and 450H. And also taking order on the new 2023 RX Hybrid, which has a 6-8 months wait.
Crazy time.

how long are you prepared to wait? You might as well get in line because the wait might only get worse. Companies are not building as many cars as they used to. I think I saw something like 50% production cut. Even if demand falls by 30% or 40%, it still means the queue grows indefinitely.

In all seriousness, I also placed a reservation on a Lucid Air Pure ($77.4K version) in May and waiting for delivery as well. If I do decide to keep the Lucid, maybe I can convince my wife to take my 2017 ES350, it only has 31Ku miles and practically 90% new.

Until the wife tells me I am not allow to wait any longer or the RX decides to kick the bucket. : )

Back to the main topic, if you wait till you have an emergency, your choices will be very limited. I know folks that have had to buy after a car got totaled and they were forced to take whatever they could get their hands on in their budget at the time.
(FWIW, I have to wait 30 weeks to get a replacement garage door and I have have been waiting 8 weeks already for 2 pairs of trousers which have been on order.)

I had a deposit on an ID.4 but I canceled it. Somewhere along the way I decided I value comfort, ease of use, etc. over going electric. I think the non plug in hybrid offers the best balance for these times in terms of requiring no adjustment (no need to worry about charging infrastructure at home or elsewhere while still offering good mpg and less city pollution). After watching the documentary Planet of the Humans, I’m not sold on the green nature of EVs or green energy in general.
