True Special Order Dates

Btw, my RX 450 F sport ultra white/rioja red just rolled in to the dealer today! Woohoo!!!!

Not sure how these orders work. I ordered a 450h in Nightfall Mica w/Noble interior, Triple lights, Luxury Pkg, Towing pkg, panoramic monitor, etc. Just after Christmas. My dealer says they "allocated one" that is scheduled to build the week of 1/25 and deliver by the end of February....how long does it REALLY take? Does anyone know how the system works? - how long to build, how long to ship, do they notify the dealer when it ships???

Every dealer gets set allocations of vehicles. They usually order the most common specs that will sell in that paritcular region. If a special order comes through, they simply change it based on which allocations have not passed the point of allocation.
For instance a couple dealers I went back and fourth with, said I could get the vehicle in 1.5 months while others were solid 3-5 months. All depends on regional allocations, waiting lists, pricing.

And I believe based on the build date, the dealers know an ETA of how long it takes.
Mine said 4 months. I'm thinking sooner which means I may get it end of March.

Talk about a horrible tracking experience when special ordering a Lexus...did you all know that since back in 2002 you could special order a Mini Cooper and they will update you constantly and you can even watch it via multiple webcams being built. Lexus, nothing.
