Wait times

[GaoKS]

In June for a prem+, I was told 4-6 months by Co Springs, 6 mo by Greenwood and initially 8 mo by Stevinson which was updated to three years when i called in August to get an update by a sales person who was angry as soon as I said GX waitlist.

I was hoping for a December arrival with that unlikely, I will likely wait until January and start shopping out of state.

I've lived a lot of different places and bought a ton of cars Denver was one of the worst in terms of dealers doing deals - on specialty vehicles - anyways. When I lived there I always bought out of state - KS, NE, IA, etc. I tried to join Greenwoods list when the GX was first announced and they were hell bent on charging for their security tracker/add on package.

They are indeed. $1000 for a tracker that I wouldn't want for free. Hoping the Springs dealership can get me what I want. Appreciate their approach so far.

I talked to a few dealerships in KS and they were only doing local sales then. But I'll be looking a few states away after the 1st of the year.

The springs dealer is where I ordered in May, and the OT+ they're getting next is what I'm allocated. I've been checking their site occasionally and they've been having a roll of 15 GXs in various states of order. Of course they're all spoken for.

Looking at the Facebook groups, you can start calling out state now, question is would you rather wait for a 2025 MY instead of getting a stragler now. It seems like Deep south states, Florida have stock coming that's no spoken for. I've already seen a few posts "we got 3gx coming in, who wants one".

Yea the Toyota and Lexus loyalist are strong here, GX is ideal for Colorado roads and weather. But I didn't expect GX550 to have these crazy wait lists akin to the G Wagon 5 year wait list crisis of 2020.

Maybe it was Green Wood village or another, more towards west Denver. But the 2 year wait won't last. By next summer it will dissapate. The LACK of used GXs is contributing to the wait times. I figure 6-7 months, we will get a lot of used 2024s for normal prices, as people switch to the new hotness of 2025(with their 1in lift), the sheeple first time GX buyer dissapointed that's it not a BMW X5 ect. Also 6th Gen 4Runner will eat away section of market, people canceling orders ect

Same dealer contacted me about a used OT with 7k miles for almost 90k, not even an OT+ haha. Yeah no thanks.

I will be very picky until after the 1st of the year for a MY24. I will get by just fine this winter with my current vehicles. If I somehow didn't have one by May, I'd probably jump ship for a Yukon or a LC, really want it for summer rafting and overlanding which my current vehicles don't handle.

How was your experience with the Springs dealership? Did they let you edit port options? Dealer add ons?
