Good luck, hopefully everything works out for you! When I was searching I just cold called every dealership within a 150mile radius and was able to find several vehicles with next to no wait. McGrath told me there was an unknown wait time but it would be several months min.
I ended up at Bergstrom Lexus of Madison and I removed every PIO. It may have worked out because I secured the vehicle just as it loaded the boat from the factory, so all the PIOs were still configurable.
Glad to hear it was straight forward for you. I pretty much reached out to all the "locals" [Rockford, McGrath, Arlington Heights, Naperville, Orland, Schaumburg, Peoria, 2x in Indiana, Madison]. This was end of last year around October/November timeframe.
Some wanted aggressive down payments...
Ahh it's hidden under package and not as an individual item, strange. So perhaps my initial thought was still correct, it is simply a PIO or DIO option.
Mats are all PIO's or DIO's. I was fortunate enough to be able to change all the PIO's/DIO's prior to delivery so I removed all the OEM mats, since I knew I would end up purchasing aftermarket (weathertech or 3dmats).
You can always try to ask your sales person if they would be kind enough to...
