ordered Oct 24 2005.
Heard last week, from my dealer that the IS350 I ordered will be in the port of Jacksonville on March 11. Pick up on March 17.
Seven days from being 5 months.
good luck

 

Thats waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long for spcial oder.

 

Your patience will be well rewarded. Congrats on the new car!!! Since you're picking it up on St. Patrick's Day, beware of drunk drivers!!!

 

Wow! What did you order? I'm hoping it won't take that long when I place my order.

 

Special orders take 4months. Thats long enough and once you wait 4 months it will feel like its been 5 months or more andyways. Prepare to wait. Do special order and you time shoud be cut down to 2 weeks up to 4 weeks.

 

Boy sounds like I was pretty fortunate. Just less than 3 months for my special order.

 

I guess I'm the impatient one, I sp ordered a SGM on Jan 23 due for April.
I took a BOP with the same specs I ordered on the SGM for delivery 3 weeks earlier.

 

going to order mine on Wed 3/7/06 and see what they are going to tell me.. i spoke to the sales person before and he told me it might be a 6-8 week wait....

 

6-8 weeks? x 2 is more like it.

FYI. Wed is the 8th.

 

I cant believe the wait times for some of you. I feel for you. I really thinkg Lexus goofed with thier 80/20 split between 250/350. They werent expecting to be selling the 350s here in the northeast until spring....I feel fortunate I got mine back in Nov., but the wait will def pay off for everyone.

 

I agree to a point. A better tracking system would help everyone also.

 

I 2nd that! I would be great to know if my car's atleast been built. I'm 2 weeks from the 3 month mark and I dont know a single thing about my order other than the fact it was placed

 

There is no reason why Toyota / Lexus can't provide information about the status of your car or mine for that matter. They have their own plants and ships. With Volvo I was able to track the car on the ship, from port to port. I only lost sight when it was on the truck out of NJ headed west.

But that is a far cry from what TL is willing to do for their customers. They have the technology to provide the information. It may be they don't want to incur the cost for development of the software that would allow you to track your shipment. Its kind of like not wanting to pay Apple for the license that displays the playlists and songs on your nav unit. So I guess there is a reason - money.
