I have #254 as N5001558 #254 Lexus of Pembroke Pines but I could be slightly wrong on that lol. So grain of salt it.

Basically reaffirmed for me that there is a lot of human garbage out there and many dealerships/salesman truly are scumbags. I guess I will never really know if mine gets driven like this when the comes in, maybe ignorance is bliss.

He is very careful to not show the LE badge number, but the blur clarifies briefly at about 40 seconds to show a clearer shot of him doing 108 mph on the highway.


Edit - Found the car, it's #254. He posted it on his Instagram. The interwebs says that he worked in the marketing department for Lexus of North Miami. Maybe the spreadsheet can be checked if #254 has been accounted for and on the forum.

My dealer knows how picky I am and while I cant control what happens until it gets to the dealer, at least I have reported the abuse at the train yard in hope we can reduce the number of people touching mine. I have full confidence in my dealer and the master technician doing the pdi on mine.

We should should just shame dealers that abuse customec's cars or the individuals that do. Do they want us to treat their inventory that way?! Like seriously people, have some decency for things you dont own...sheesh!

Got a question for you guys with the LE and Premium models. How long did it take for your car to arrive from the port to your dealer?

That's a good question because mine is currently at the port and has been for awhile.

Mine has been at the Port of Portland since ~ Dec 10th … and it’s still there. Dealer is now saying it’ll get to them sometime between Jan 18-23. They had originally expected it to arrive just before Christmas.

Wow, about a month. My car is stuck at the port at the moment. I was told the car arrived at the port on 12/29 from a text message from the dealer. They also stated it should take about two weeks.

Mine arrived to Port of Portland 12/23- I am expecting it in my garage by this coming Thursday. I am also in the Portland metro area- so not far for it to travel.

Buyers beware. Dealers are notorious for overfilling these engines with oil https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...k-service.html https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...on-my-rcf.html. Our GS F had 2.5 quarts too much after the first "free" service, and we were not alone. Be sure to check this before leaving after your complimentary service. Also, these engines use 5W-30, not 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil. Many dealers do not buy 5W-30 in bulk and fill customer cars with 5W-20 because everything else gets it. Don't get poor service, let them know up front you expect the correct amount of the correct oil in your car at the first service!!!
