I didn't sign it and I think I'm still getting the allocation...as of now. Due before end of month.

OT Incognito moonroof delete. Might bail if I don't feel like paying for the HUD, coolbox, and traffic jam assist after seeing it. The latter is likely going to be on all - I'd love to hear if anyone has an allocation without it.
And I'm 70th on the list...lol
Bougie boomers around here all want moonroofs I guess.

In the case of Toyota, the allocation means it's been built and is on the way I think.

Update: I took the Wind Chill Pearl LC250 Premium. It has no port add-on BS and the white grew on me when looking at the other colors. Should be here in about a month.
For what it's worth, I contacted 3 dealers in the NOVA area and all of them had allocations available with refundable deposits at sticker price. Seems these aren't going to be as hard to get as everyone thought.

Looks like I'm going to have to sign it if I want to buy the GX. They (the dealer) holds title for the first 12 months. This is so lame.
I need to hear from others getting GX allocations if they have traffic jam assist, cool box, and head up display.
That is nuts, is that a CA thing or just the dealership? I think I would pass just on general principle.

Not sure.
Although, I might have found an easy out once I see it in person. Mine is getting the PIO (Port Installed Option) of dashcam..and if it hangs down this low and obstructive..that won't work for this tall guy. The big block behind the rear-view mirror is already bad enough.

Yeah, my Toyota allocation was "Do you want this one?" over text. And the $500 deposit I put down in November-ish.

Yes. That's why it SUCKS.
That’s honestly kind of wild—I can’t understand why anyone in their right mind would be OK with that. Also have a hard time believing Toyota is worried people are going to be exporting a Lexus into a war zone? I could maybe see that for the 250?
The initial GX550 Premium I was offered had the traffic jam assist and heads up display along with several other port installed options. In total close to $4K in stuff I do not value on the GX. I chose to pass and will patiently wait for something closer go my ideal spec. Worst case I go with the Ice Cap 1958 I have a deposit on that will be here in late May.
Other than it would be nuts for anyone to agree to it, I can't see how that would even be legal.

But who gets the title!?
If I pay for it outright I want the GD title. Wife is outraged over this aspect.
We are walking away. We appreciate the dealer doing an MSRP deal but they need to have the legal flexibility to draft a different agreement.
I have established service history at this dealer and they recognized that. But I'm not going to beg and contort for an overpriced new Lexus.

Dealer holding the title for a year is pretty wack I'll admit. I've bought multiple new off the lot toyotas and I've never heard of that.
Yes.
If you turn a profit (with pretty much anything) you will have to report that. This shouldn’t be shocking.
Is this shaping up to be dealer specific or is it a corporate thing? If demand cools for any number of reasons this year, including interest rates potentially staying as high as they are now, I could see this being quietly stopped. Completely laughable and also a non-starter for me.
