Wait times
- Thread starter Jrox
- Start date
I think this question is tough to answer. For example, I placed a $1k refundable deposit down and told the dealer which trim & colors I was interested in. The time between deposit and delivery was ~4 months, however the time between allocation & delivery was only ~1 month.
I've got only 1 spec I'm interested in. OT+ Atomic w/ Black Roof and Chateau Interior. It's been 13 months since I put my name on the list. I've been offered others that are close, but I've turned them down. I'm picky

I finally got my notice today that my Black GX OT will be built in Japan next month and should be here in Australia in Nov. the spec here in Aus is not the same as the US. We only have one spec which is closer to OT+I've got only 1 spec I'm interested in. OT+ Atomic w/ Black Roof and Chateau Interior. It's been 13 months since I put my name on the list.

I put a $1000 refundable deposit on mine in late July and told the dealer that my preference was a 2025. It probably not a big deal, but I’d rather not get the last 2024. No word yet on my production date.
Placed our order for a Caviar Premium + on July 19. No word yet. Was told by the dealer two days ago that their allocation for the first week in October had been cut. Not sure why. Was told it would be here before the end of the year. Not holding my breath.
2024 or 2025? Do you know?
I put my name on the waitlist at one of my local dealers in the middle of June, 2024. I only recently decided to change from an OT to an OT+. I just figured that since I keep my vehicles for ~10 years it'd be better to have the memory seats (and easy exit functions they provide) along with a few other OT+ exclusive features. I'm expecting it'll be another month or two before my turn on the waitlist comes up. I was 20th on the waitlist a month ago.
I just left a dealer in San Antonio. I was told the wait is approx a year.
In Canada here and placed deposit on white OT+ in August 2023 and was recently told that there is no clear date or schedule, they get the production confirmation about 4 month in advance and it will be a 2025 model. I also took a test drive in the General Manger's GX at that time and I definitely going to wait as patiently as needed.
2 Nori Green OTs just landed at Treasure Coast Lexus in Fort Pierce, FL. Spotted one of them while dropping my OT off for the brake TSB. Unspoken for & they only sell @ MSRP. Tell em Broc sent ya
Thanks Broc, talking with them now.
Edit, it was already sold. But thanks again.

Damn really!? No SOLD sign on the car when I looked at 930am this morning. Bummer
Great choice. Congrats!
Enjoy the ride.
Are they still selling them $2500 over MSRP? If so, were you able to get them to come off of that?
Yes, they are sands yes, I was. I was trading in a 2012 FJ Cruiser with 95k miles in good condition. They offered me KBB of $19k on the phone before I went and told me about their markup. Then they knocked $500 off the markup. I told them to absorb the markup and their $888 prep in my trade so they moved the numbers on paper allowing me $21.5k essentially erasing their markup and another $500. I felt it was a good enough deal and just the fact that it was there for immediate purchase…no waiting…not a difficult decision at that point
Should also say it appeared to be a slow day in sales for a Saturday…maybe that worked in my favor?
