I wonder if the "distance" is a straight line? Because the dealers I'm working with are over 2000+ miles.. hmm. Good to hear they are finally leaving port!

There's a ton to unpack here guys. 54 = base, 55 = LE, 56 = premium

Google map directions Cool Springs Lexus and your dealership to get the miles distance to guess which dealership its going to.

Can someone interpret what the add on codes mean:

PC 2T 3M DF G4 Z2

I can only guess what 3M means.
Your best bet is to reference the picture that Joe Z posted twice which shows the port installed options. It has to be a port installed option since there are no factory options for the vehicle.

@wthrman2 I paid close attention but I didn’t see any that matched your spec sorry buddy

PC is the only one I’m not seeing. But just by the options I’m seeing forced onto it, this dealer is trying to milk it for all the money they can get.

Oh man looks like a lot of these come with quite pricey accessories already. Also assuming distance is a straight line, the dealership that said they were getting #44 LE seems to be getting #345 instead (according to the last #s on the VIN)

I will say, it’s pretty interesting to see that most of these cars are not marked as pre sold. I guess they genuinely might sit on lots for a while since dealers are being greedy with markups.

PC is on the ones with ultrasonic blue. I believe PJ and PC mean premium paint colors.

What I don't understand are accessories like the all weather mats. Can I just decline that and subtract it from the price? I get that 3M film can't be removed, but come on, I dont want all weather mats.

I want to know the same thing. I get the carpeted mats along with the all-weather right? I will ask if I can sell back cause living in northern ca in a city where it doesn't snow I surely don't want them. other option is to sell them to a member on here or locally for same price if not a discount

Yea I wonder that as well. I don't care for the carpets/mats since I keep my cars clean. Probably depends on the dealership. Can't believe LE cars are averaging at 69k msrp hahaha

So realistically, if the car has not landed at the port or gone in to get port installed options yet, dealers have the option of removing port installed options. But the real question is, will they be willing to? Their profit margins on these accessories are insane which is why you’ll see they cars have so many of these damn options.

I will ask about removing the all-weather ones if the one allocated to my dealer has them. Hoping they oblige

Keep in mind these prices include the $1075 destination fee and premium color charge. You can tell because most of the LEs don't have any options and are priced at 68,475.

I know one of those 3 Ultra White with Black interior is mine the question is which one with what accessories and when is it coming? I should know tomorrow when my sales guy gets in, he told me that on Tuesday he would give me all the info if it was in the computer. He was at the new NX training in the bay today. I need to get chippy and get my other car ready to sell soon!

I’m glad to see the factories back at full capacity. Can anyone in SoCal or NorCal recommend a Lexus dealership without markup?
