That means that if you place a Special Order on the 16th, you have to wait an extra month before the order is even looked at by the factory.

I thought it was the 20th? Almost sure I've read that a couple of times here on the boards.
Even so, its been long enough that my dealer should know "something" by now dont u think? I may have to make a few calls and send some emails....I'm really trying to minimize interaction with the dealer, all i get is headaches when i do

I read the 20th as well for batching of special orders. My dealer told me that it is the 21st.
I special ordered mine on 2/20 and expect delivery around mid-May. If that comes through it will be a bit less than 3 months.

yeah, it's the 20th. I put my order in 10/17, and got it 1/24. If I had missed the cutoff of the 20th, it would have been around 2/24.
This late in the season, I don't think I'd be putting in an order for an '06. By the time you get it, the '07 are literally days away.

I also got 3000 off MSRP but maybe that is because there are so many dealers in So Cal. What kind of car did you order?

I wanted to order mine since Oct. 05,but Lexus won't let any Lexus associate order the IS because they have to fill in the customers ordered first. I understand that customer comes first even know I work for Lexus almost 10 years( at the dealership level).
I got the o.k on Feb. of 06 to order in the master certified program and I'm still waiting for the IS350,Nav/Ml with lux packgage. So, don't feel bad guys I know they do whatever it take to take care of you guys. For me as a master certified tech I have to wait about 7-9 months,but it's all good. I have to give Lexus a the way they're trying to fill in the customers ordered and try not left out their associates. I can't wait...
