Congrats, Dude! I was about 2 minutes too slow getting a partial payment to a salesman for the same setup, so I ended up custom ordering, and waiting...

There is suposed to be a base but from what i have found none are around. Take a poll. anyone have a base? You cant even build one on the lexus website for cali. zip 91801.

But a serious question? Does anyone have a base only model? No premium package?

I think the premium package is included in the Luxury package? Isn't the premium just the floor mats, trunk mat, trunk net and wheel locks, right?

Oh I forgot, I think you also get the 'Heavy Duty' muffler bearing with the premium package

That's the preferred accessory package for the mats, net and wheel locks.

Premium package is the perforated leather seats, wood trim.
Apparently there are no base models going to the dealer lots anymore. At the bare minimum you need to get the premium package. I too tried building a 250 in MD/VA area and could not build it without the premium package.

I was told the same for the NorthEast as well...not that I wanted the base trim, as those ventilated seats are da bomb!
