I didn't make that cut off date in October 11th. Mine was ordered close to the 26th. Dealer says we're on schedule, for late Feb. we'll see. I will mention it to my dealer that you got a VIN when your car was put on the ship.

I would really feel like progress is being made if I got a vin. This 'black box' wait is killer. I think mine is suppose to come from Jacksonville Florida as port of entry.
Keep us updated to the progress of your delivery.

TimboIS: Have you heard anything lately?
Nothing yet. It's been just over 11 weeks since ordered. I emailed the dealer 4 days ago, and they've not responded yet. I usually give them 4 days, then I call Lexus corp to compalin about poor customer service. That usually lights a fire under them. Then they're all "we're sorry, so busy, etc, etc". All I ask them for is periodic updates, and they can't even seem to manage a monthly "nothing yet" call or email. Boy, I can't wait to fill out the post sale survey.

TimboIS:
Your Post is so true. We also wait about four days for a reply from our dealer. Last Time I spoke to them I asked if they would put those Five spoke wheels like the GS, on our IS before it left Japan
Man, they were scrambling, wanting to know where we got the pic of the wheels. I sent them to the Lexus Japan website. They didn't know it existed. This forum is so good, I find out more here than the dealer knows I think.

That would be great if we were updated like the BMW, with order status Like qiksilvr described. Couldn't be that hard to do. They're making a killing on these IS's. They could hire a couple drones to email people that orderd. Status updates from Japan even.

I forgot about the customer survey

Well it happened!!!

Out of the blue I get a call from my dealer... with the VIN. Car is built (or being built), and should be here by end of January. Some light at the end of a long, long, long tunnel.

I got a phone call today too saying my car should arrive at the port on 1/20, so it should be here by the end of the month!

Thanks Greyhound. They didn't have any specific dates, no boat times. Just an estimated delivery by the end of month. It's funny, because I talked to them on Wednesday, and they had NO info.

No ground effects or spoiler (personally I don't like the looks of them), maybe the HKS exhaust when it comes out.

My car is sitting on the ship (The Pegasus, in case you're interested) docked at the LA port. It will likely come off early this week for port prep (Z1). Then be here early the following week. Right in the middle of the 12-16 week delivery window.
