You never checked up on your order periodically?

Every 2 weeks I checked. I was told that Lexus kept giving the status of the vehicle but never commited to building it.

I'm not sure it would have mattered. When I called to check on mine, they kept telling me they wouldn't know anything until they got the VIN number, which translates into: it's on the boat. So even if you call to check, your salesman can keep giving you a song and dance and you'll never really know.

Why ask the dealer, they know nothing until the vehicle is on the boat.

Forgot to mention how much I hate to hear that for you. As much as I like the 350, I would probably have bought a BMW if this had happened to me.

You got to believe these dealers are selling these cars to other buyers at a higher price.

You definitely should. Lexus is pretty good on customer satisfaction.

You worked with Norwood, right? They are all liars at that dealership. They promised me $2K off an IS in November (matching another dealer) and said they had a Matador Red IS in stock to look at. After I drove there (about an hour away), they denied ever promising me the price and didn't have any IS in stock.
