Well just wanted to let you guys know that Lexus' decision to not give us loaded cars to begin with has cost them a sell. I have had a deposit down for a 350 loaded and have been told it will be a long while before my car will hit my dealer. So I am going with a 330i sticker price 46,315. Sell price is 3% over invoice which is about 43300. I have had two Bimmers over the last 5 years and they have both been great but I was ready to try something new. I wanted the IS350 to be it. But I have already been without a car for almost 3 months and I am tired of waiting. Lexus could have sold a car if the idiots at corporate would have given us more loaded vehicles. Oh well I am leasing the 3 so in another 3 years maybe I will get a IS350 loaded and I will be able to dicker with the price since it will not be new anymore. Better for me anyway. I just have a problem paying full price for a depreciating item like a car

Yeah, I hate these dealer allotments.

i am going to have to go to NC... to find my barebones IS350... I also need them to meet me halfway from invoice to MSRP... so It may be a month or 2

Well BMWs unreliability costs many a sale here, so congrats. (I am a 330 fan btw)

So we'll never know for sure why whatever happened, happened the way it did. But to tell you the truth, I've never seen anything like it. The allocation and the availability of cars stinks but maybe that was the only way they could get the car on the street this year. I've been to a car factory as many of you on here probably have. They can crank out a fair amount of cars everyday but I guess the entire US is a very demanding place.
