the Lexus sealership that I am using have told me that they would not swap out the tires on this car if it has the wrong tires on it . So I do not think they are going out of their way to do any thing extra. But that ok with me I will have an Toyota dealership change the oil and other things on it.

Hard to walk away from a special order that list from almost 63k and got the car for invoice of 55k

The dealer may not want to stock that RX with that sticker.
Offer to pay the labor charge to swap the tires.It would be worth to me to get the Michelin Latitudes.

However, if they do not have another 450 in stock with them then om it they would have to remove the tires from a 350 and placed them on my wheels and just do not see them doing that at any cost

Just bought a 2011 RX350 Starfire Pearl/Light Grey Interior. We wanted it with black interior as well, but was also told they do not have that combo in stock and is rare to get. But they checked the records and it said they had 4 only in the west coast. We also wanted a fully loaded one, but again the dealer said that their fully loaded cars were out of stock and needs to be special ordered.

I just bought a white w/ black interior 2011 RX350 in CA about 2 weeks ago. I was also told they didn't start making this color combo til 2011. I got the comfort package, premium package, parking assist, 19" wheels, navi, 12 spkr premium, towing prep, wood & leather trimmed steering wheel & shift ****, preferred acces package. At the time, there were only 2 cars in CA with these specs and another on the way.

I have a 2010 RX in Starfire Pearl ("white") with a Black interior, and it wasn't at all an uncommon combination. At least, among Canadian-market 2010 RXs.

We recently purchased 350, were also looking for white ext & black int. All of our cars are/were black or red leather interior, so we searched for the same for our RX. After 2 weeks searching with AMEX, carsdirect, and several dealers, nobody couldn't find one. Now I am a big fan of parchment/black two tone interior, but still it's so weird that one of the most common black interior is not available with white exterior. Maybe it's Japanese thing, since the same is true with MDX/RDX.

Sales manager where I bought wanted to sell me white/parchment, which he had in stock, but I wanted white/grey. He agreed to do an exchange with another dealer, so I signed, gve him a big deposit, took a loaner and left him my trade after we registered the new VIN to me and switched the plates to the yet to be delivered vehicle. When I came back in two days to pick up the white/grey combo he claimed there was a problem and tried to get me to take the parchment interior. He claimed "color doesn't matter, you'll get use to it." He also claimed the grey interior with white was very rare and couldn't be ordered. There's more to the story about this ridiculous sales manager, but after talking to the dealership owner and Lexus Corporate, the sales manager "found" the vehicle I wanted. I'm just tired of parchment/cornsilk,etc. interiors and the grey stays much cleaner. Don't let them try to tell you something is rare or not produced--check another region if you have to. They make every color combo in the book. If white/grey was so rare they wouldn't be using that color for the 450h displayed recently in the Washington auto show.
