    Snap Shades

    Folks, I ordered about 4 weeks ago -- be warned, there is a supply issue here. I finally received an update from the company as follows: "Due to changes in international shipping it is not clear right now when it'll arrive but we are experiencing extensive delay of greater than 30 days."...

    💸 The 'official' I put my deposit down list...

    Ouch! That is a longer time than I expected. I'm in the Cincinnati area, I was told 3-6 months when I made my deposit (Feb 22), but based on the allocations happening MUCH slower than I anticipated, I'm now thinking 6-9 months may have been a better estimate. And yes, it seems the days of...

    Impact of proposed new tariffs on foreign built cars?

    Is anyone else seeing allocations continuing to decline? Maybe it has to do with the way Lexus manages their production runs, but it seems like the OT and OT+ allocations have been reduced to almost nothing in my area --- Ohio/Kentucky. Seems like there are more Premium+ and Luxury+ being...

    Impact of proposed new tariffs on foreign built cars?

    Insightful & logical @deadlikeme . I am seeing the allocations drying up as well, and I think your narrative makes a lot of sense as to why. And I'm 100% in the same position you are. For now, the Lexus dealer has $2,500 from me. I'm not really sure I want to up that ante at this time.

    Impact of proposed new tariffs on foreign built cars?

    I'm on a waitlist and just checked in with my dealer this week on whether there would be any impact. All they are saying right now is that its "business as usual" for now. For me it's really simple -- if there's is a Tariff that raises my price by even $1K, I'm out. I've had my 4runner for 14...

    💸 The 'official' I put my deposit down list...

    I am no expert, but what I am seeing in the Cincinnati area is that a monthly allocation for a dealership is in the 8-12 unit range (varies based on the dealership), and that is across all models. So, depending on what model/color you are after, a waitlist of 250 seems really long to me. I...

    💸 The 'official' I put my deposit down list...

    Just got an update from my dealer that I'm #2 on the waitlist for Overtrail / Overtrail + in Atomic Silver. (also #2 for my backup selection, Nori Green). I'm assuming this means ~2 months before an allocation and then ~1 month inbound. Does that seem about right, based on others experience?

    My dealer was at sticker price, no more, no less.

    💸 The 'official' I put my deposit down list...

    OK, I'm in as of today, on the OT+, $2500 deposit. After thinking I was sold on the Nori Green color, I decided to go with the Atomic Silver as well. My salesperson could not have been less clear on where I stand on the waitlist, so we shall see. Based on a previous discussion with a...

    👋 Welcome to the Lexus GX 550 Forum! Please post an introduction thread!

    Atmos, that's my top choice -- Overtrail + in Nori Green / Black. Like you, I plan on visiting many national parks with it! Overlanding might be a bit much for me & my partner, but definitely look forward to getting it off road on some trails. Would be very interested in your early...

    👋 Welcome to the Lexus GX 550 Forum! Please post an introduction thread!

    Hello, new member from Cincinnati here. Not yet a GX owner, I was looking at the new 4runner, but, considering the price and concerns about the new powertrain, I'm now leaning heavily toward the GX Overtrail or Overtrail +. I am nearing retirement and hope to do some serious road trips (with...
