^^ Keep us posted!! I am hoping all will work out for you as well....I am actively watching you and Shoeboy
I agree, some detailing crews at some dealers are horrible and especially, in your case with a Caviar color, you want to avoid those swirls!! I am hoping all will work our for you my friend, it's been a bit a journey for sure but you will be extremely happy when you get and experience what this car offers!!

Will do! I am beyond ecstatic to get this car. I bought a bunch of cleaning products and ceramic coating from Chemical Guys yesterday to be able to give my baby the love it deserves when it gets here haha. At this point I have a bunch of parts for my car, but no car lol. It's a shame that you haven't gotten good news as well
I think what might be hurting you and Answer is that Canada is a much smaller market than the US market so they aren't prioritizing you guys as much. But I'm sure it'll all work out in the end.

With respect to our market, yeah, there is no question that we are indeed a smaller market, even more so for an IS 500 with RWD in a place where we see snow and people feeling they can only own an AWD, which is a peeve of mine. So I am not blaming Lexus Canada either, they are doing their allocation based on a realistic market. I am just extremely happy they agreed to bring this car to Canada as the IS 350 RWD is not even an option here. I am staying hopeful that us two Canucks (me and answer) will get our cars.

^^ I wonder if there are any parts and accessories at the ports to actually build me an entire IS 500? I wouldn't even care about uneven gaps in the body panels (LMAO)

I have one response so far from the Des Moines dealer who has told me they should find out on Thursday, but nothing yet from the KC dealer. Why don't they know by now??? So nerve racking and annoying.

So adding to all the helpful information that @Yaroze86 has provided, you can use this website to check the manifests of these ships. Further proving my prior speculation, Andromeda has a history of delivering Toyota and Lexus vehicles per the manifest.
Search All Manifests (importinfo.com)

So I got my updated build sheet for my 350 with exactly everything I wanted on it. While I was at the dealer I asked about the IS500 and they told me they are getting 2 LE’s but they are slapping a $20,000 addendum on it. My jaw dropped. The inventory manager is great and I can’t complain, but wow. I couldn’t believe it. And then she told me they’re getting an RC F Fuji Speedway and that one has a $30,000 addendum.
in other news, she checked and IS’ are starting to show up in Freight, meaning some cars are already off of ships.

WOW!!! A 20k premium on a LE there too!! Am I missing something as to why everyone would pay that much for that?!? It has a regular trunk and not a tickle trunk right?!?!
