LC500 Order - Advice and Guidance (Bespoke or not?)

Kicking up my own thread again, for a different topic. Anyone else experiencing delays related to CDK? My LC is due to arrive sometime between today and Friday, but my salesperson said they might not be able to complete delivery until CDK is back up. I'm not too worried yet as I'll need a week for PPF and he also said I can visit the car anytime, and even take it for a spin (provided I don't take it home at night). There are rumblings that CDK may not fully be back up until end of July. It's absolutely nuts to me that a cloud software service doesn't have a business continuity plan around something like this.
Anyways... lmk if anyone has taken LC delivery in the last week or plans to in the next two weeks. Would be good to triangulate the information I'm getting with what others are experiencing.

I would recommend that you calculate your own pricing numbers ahead of time, to make sure that they don't make any calculation mistakes. I'm sure glad I did.

I had no (CDK) issues picking up my new LC yesterday. It just took the finance manager a bit more time to calculate (on a calculator) the out the door final price.

Thanks, good to know. Was yours a special order or already on the lot? Mine was a special order so my paperwork and numbers should line up. They've said that the issue is doing delivery in vehicles that weren't on lot prior to CDK hack. Who knows. Ultimately I'll push for manual paperwork if it's not sorted by next week.
Our Canadian luxury taxes and how they apply to provincial and federal tax calculations is somewhat awkward, so I wanted to be sure it was all calculated correctly, for my own peace of mind. After seeing my calculations, my dealer did have to make some corrections to his numbers.

Their whole "numbers system" was fried.

I special ordered my Bespoke LC.

Mind DMing me on this? I'm also in Canada (Ontario), and want to make sure mine is being calculated right. I have a pic of my bill of sale I can send you I'd you want to cross compare.

I went to order my bespoke convertible this morning, but they're not sure I can get the red top. I was surprised, but assumed it was due to it being so late in production for 2024, but the dealership said it just wasn't something I could get not at all. They're going to contact the regional factory rep and follow up with me, but I'm confused. The red top is an option on the website. Are the color tops un-obtanium or something?

I'm set on getting a 2025 LC 500, but should I wait for some official announcement before talking with a dealer? How long does the Bespoke route take? I'm ready to buy, so the waiting game feels rough.

The dealer told me 3-5 months, possibly 6. I went to order mine yesterday, but now I'm waiting for them to confirm I can get the red top. I'm not sure what the hold up is. I also don't know if I can get a 2024 or if it will be a 2025 at this point.

US timelines are about 3.5-4.5 months from day of order to delivery, Canada more like 4.5-5.5 months. Jfyi that past experience and timelines doesn't mean it'll be the same for future timelines, particularly since they're probably going to start producing 2025 models shortly.

Not so fast.
I assume you already have your wish list of what you want.
Keep an eye on that real time inventory tool online (That I'm not smart enough for I guess
) or like I do, do searchs on Cars.com, Autotrader.com, Cargurus, et al. I actually enjoy that.
Things happen to folks. Deals die. Cars pop up.
I came real close a month ago, '23, CBG red, low miles but, waa, waa, waa, it had the CF roof. That's a dealbreaker for me.
But you never know. I found my '18 on line and got a killer deal just before the Covid freekout.
