Question How long for license plates?

Should I be worried my license plates have been lost? I bought my 06 IS350 on 9/30/06 from Longo Lexus (So. Cal.). I called Longo and the receptionist said I should just wait longer and it can take 12 weeks. From what I remember, I thought the temporary registration was only good for 3 months.... anyone know how long it is in fact good?

How long did it take for you guys (especially those who bought in Sept./Oct. this year)? I've even seen 2007's w/ license plates...

I bought my IS from Longo, it took about 10 weeks for the plates to arrive. Since they do so much volume (Toyotas/Lexus) it does take longer if you bought from Longo. Last year when I bought my Acura from Keyes, it took about 6 weeks . . .

Sometimes it takes awhile. I bought mine out of state and did everything myself. Most of the wait time was getting the MSO from Toyota. The dealer does not have these and it has to come from Toyota.

the temporary reg. is valid for 6 months. my dealer (not longo) said that if i wanted to leave that on in place of the plates it was ok. i have my plates and have not put them on yet either. breakwater blue looks new on any given day.
