Accuracy of Arrival Date Estimates ?

[luxpow]

How (in)accurate are the delivery estimates on lexus.com.
For eg. would the car(not mine) below really arrive by 9/15 or should one assume X weeks delay ?
Dealer is being too diplomatic and evasive.

There is a reason they are being diplomatic - because they don't have an answer Ours showed up on their screen as arrived at NJ port 2 weeks back. Checked with our sales advisor end of last week and it was still pending US customs clearance. After clearance, next would be QC check and installation of port options (and hoping they have everything in stock) before train/truck to dealership. Sometimes you are lucky and it arrives earlier but more often, they are going to be late.

We were cross shopping LC250 and same thing, I saw one "arrived" at the port. Sales manager told me that it could take more than a month or two to get to them.

Wow. So I better add 1 month to that estimate.
More time for cross shopping I guess :-|
