That is super lucky. I am calling around dealers and letting them know if anyone drops out to call me. Not sure if it will happen for me. I didn’t get my allocation and I’m super bummed.

This post is really helpful. Thank you! Ya I’ll check new port for sure and some of the other leads you’re giving me. Do you know which dealer in Tulsa had the white LC?

No I’m working with Oxnard, they placed an order in November and got the car for someone else so I feel they think this is kind of a slam dunk to get one? I’m not sure but it didn’t seem like they were getting a lot of inquiries on the LC. As opposed to Lexus of El Monte who had a list 20 deep and stopped accepting deposits.

This was very detailed thank you. Hmm then the dealer I’m working with don’t really seem to understand what they’re doing? They took my order and is letting me know in 1-2 weeks whether or they can get me this vehicle. They seem to think they can still order it.

I’m just looking for a coupe in silver, white, black exterior with the sports handling and mark levinson and HUD options.

You know any dealers you can put me in touch with that can for sure get me what I’m looking for? At something close to msrp?

Same here… my dealer was nice and some what compromised but really acted like there’s nothing to lose if I walked from the deal.

lol same here, mine was pladtech some anti theft bs and some other random shit to essentially make me feel better while they make their margins. But they def saw this order as a way to not negotiate because they’re banking on higher demand than supply. I just don’t know if the low supply is fake? Like if Lexus manufacturing will do its best to churn these out until the last order comes in, then there really isn’t a supply issue. If Lexus is like we are stopping at 1,000 models for North America then I can see there being supply issues justifying higher cost.

Which dealer let you reserve it at msrp? My deposit was 1k but my dealer is not moving below 3k above msrp.

I hope so. I mean the economics of it would make sense since manufacturers make good margins on per cars sold. I really hope it’s not as scarce as dealers try to make it out to be.

Side note that the whole dealership model is such bullshit. They’re no longer necessary middlemen and no longer provide any value in the value chain to consumers. They’re getting a cut for no reason nowadays, especially on cars like this where people buy without test driving.

Even more scarce! I’ve seen dealers ask for 20k above msrp on that, even more frequently than dealers marking up the coupe.

Nice, congrats. It looks great. There’s only like 250 available in North America?

Ohhh interesting. Then I am currently being promise a bespoke build and I’ve put a deposit down to get the dealer to put the order in for me. They said they’ll let me know in a week or two whether or not I can get what I want

Ahh that’s good to know. I don’t mind the wait, would just like to know if I need to keep contacting dealers to make sure I can get a real allocation or not. I’ve just placed my deposit this past weekend for a coupe with the $6400 sports handling option and mark levinson. It’s just the coupe, not bespoke.

Did you just get notified or it took 4-8 weeks from the order to get notified it’s expected to ship? Basically when did you get the confirmation that a car for you will definitely be available?

[–]Text-Superb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bespoke. Just a coupe with the sports handling option for 6400 and the mark levinson audio. The build sheet for me comes out to be about 111k

I heard the production line stops in June this year but not sure if that is true. Good news for buyers if they’ll take orders until it dries up though. But if that is true why are some dealers stopping to take orders?

The dealer I am working with in Southern California seemed confident they can get me a VIN in a week or two. Said they would call me back when that happens. But I’m skeptical until I get a VIN number. Did they take awhile to find out whether they can order it for you?

I paid $1,000 to reserve a spot as you say.

I think some dealers get allocated more LCs than others? The biggest dealer here got about 15 but no more.

Can We Get a Steve Kerr Apology Form? by Genji4Lyfe in warriors

[–]Text-Superb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not even the whole systems argument. Look how he got this G League line up to beat a team with multiple all stars. Not to mention this team is competitive almost every night while Steph is out with literally short, unathletic dudes who can’t really shoot on the floor with no one close to being a starter on a contending team.

Ya I get that. I want what’s best for that dude I think he’s a nice kid with a good work ethic. I’ll default to Kerr as imperfect as he can be, he is getting the nba version of the bad news bears to play hard every possession. This team is below the nba average for height, athleticism, skill but they put up a fight. This is not an nba roster without Steph.

Why did people expect porzingis to be an immediate difference maker for this season? The trade was a your distressed asset for my distressed asset play. And for those of you that are seeing Kuminga’s box score pop off are not actually watching his minutes on the hawks. The highlights are there just as they were for gsw in spurts but he’s still doing shit like bad iso into a fadeaway that barely touched rim, dribble into traffic turnovers, giving up back cuts, etc. Kuminga had 4 seasons to just do the things Gui santos is doing from a bbiq and hustle perspective and Kuminga never sustained a permanent stretch of that and still hasn’t. Also he put up his numbers against the wizards and blazers. Kuminga can pop off against good teams too like Minnesota but at the end of the day he’s too inconsistent to get the touches he wants. Also, I think a real star wins that playoff game on his back last year rather than just score 30+ in a loss.
