under "Build your Lexus, RX330"...

when i try to configure a new AWD RX, the Mark Lev package does not appear in the option list (at least in my zipcode - North Carolina 27104).

when i switch to the FWD version, i can find it using different zipcodes...like "90210". figure beverly hills would definitely get the Lev, but not need the AWD.

sigh. i waited to order an '05 just so i could get the Mark Lev, bluetooth wireless and XM radio. now i can't tell if ANY of these are actually available on an AWD.

anybody got any clues?

The builds generally just show the way they're SENT OUT to the dealers ... you can special order everything else, but what you see on the builds is how they're being sent out to the dealers as of now. At least that's how I understand it per the dealer.

While there are option packages that Lexus will not let you combine no matter what, you can factory order any combination that Lexus WILL allow. Assuming no changes since my last factory order, plan on 3-4 months, depending on how close to the order transmission date you do your deal.

Therefore, my GS430 has every option except NAV (or chrome wheels or tacky gold kit), tho it was virtually impossible to find one in that configuration otherwise. But I did wait almost 4 months..................

Dealers usually don't mind factory orders since they don't have to floorplan the car and it also does not count against their Lexus-determined allocation of cars for the month.

I was told by the dealer here just yesterday that special orders get processed on the 25th of each month, so if it was processed on Sept 25th it would be built in October and delivered sometime in November ... pretty vague but that's how he explained it.

I was at a dealer here in California and was shown a blue mica with the mark lev , Bluetooth etc. so it does come that way....
