Lol this Kris Koo clown is definitely on this forum and thinks we are toxic, as per his last comment in response to me. Beating on a brand new car doesn't show your love for a brand, it just shows that you barely skimmed through high school. Perhaps working at the Krispy Kreme in Hialeah might be a better fit for you; your name is a great match too. Show your face while you're at it lol

Pole Position
He is shameless and willfully ignorant to the rightful concern. My whole goal is to let the viewers know, not everyone appreciates this action.

The simple fact of the matter is that IT IS NOT HIS CAR! Treating a $70k car like you stole it is not right just because other people do it too. What an absolute idiot. I hear those excuses from children and that "adult" still hasn't learned how to own up to his mistakes.

Now here's an interesting situation: only $6360 difference in list price for #305 Launch Edition.
Interesting edit: I sat in #97 a couple weeks ago there, posted a photo awhile back - they're now selling #305. Wonder how many other dealers are moving multiple LEs.

Lead Lap
To be honest, I know Lexus Canada were investigating and taking action by what happen at the rail yard as they would not tolerate staff/employee abusing vehicles. There are press cars for that purpose but Lexus goes through great length to ensure quality control and that vehicles are delivered to customers with no abuse and such - Why do they go through such great length if the moment it leaves the plant, someone mistreats it. Again, I am not saying revving the engine will do damage, that is not the point, the point is that a dealer should not be encouraging their employees to take potential customer's car for a joy ride. Imagine if there would be an accident or some damage, then the car would have to be repaired, and would then these be reported to the client? Again, when I take cars on test drives, I never abuse them, I treat as them as it deserves to be treated but that is just my ethics. I am not sure Lexus USA would encourage dealers to have their staff treat vehicles this way, especially a limited edition. It is bad enough they are asking 10+K market adjustments, least they can do is at least let the owner be the one to decide HOW they want to break in the car.
Again, I am not here to bash the individual per se, I don't know him and I know he isn't alone doing it and maybe the dealer has no objections, but I would be curious to see how Lexus USA feels....let them be the judge. I know Lexus Canada was not happy with what they saw, and I mean NOT AT ALL! This is not to be critical of him we need to focus, it is more about just to keep in mind that some people want their vehicle with as little mileage and abuse before taking ownership, at least that is how I feel.

Add your VIN to the Lexus app and wait. It's not really a tracking mechanism, but it will, or at least it has historically, display mileage & fuel tank level when it's processed at the port. You'll notice the 'last updated' date will increment when the vehicle is started after that along the way. Your dealer has access to other detailed tracking milestones like 'loaded on train' etc.
