Located in Northern IL I picked up my ‘25 Luxury+ in Nori Green on Black Friday, 39 days after putting a deposit down. It boarded the vessel on 10/20 and reached the dealer late the day before Thanksgiving. The dealer was absolutely great to work with and would highly recommend them to anyone local. I was able change the PIO’s (I actually removed all of them), there was no required extras or ADM. I must admit it was strange paying msrp for a vehicle though, fist time ever.
So far so good, got it just in time for the crazy snow storm that hit us. So far we have had more snow already than all of last year.

I’m from Illinois, St. Charles. What dealership did you get yours from? What PIO’s did you have removed? I didn’t think that was possible.

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.
 
That’s great. I’m still waiting for one. Hopefully the wait won’t be too long. I’ve owned almost every Lexus model and have a good relationship with McGrath in Chicago. I was told I’ll be pushed to the top of the list for being a loyal customer. I’m hoping this works out for me and I’ll get one soon. Congrats on the new GX!

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.
 
Same - McGrath (both) have a never-ending list and wait, however other dealers in the area will have available allocation. I found several just by calling around to other local dealers.
 
Welcome! I got mine at Lexus of Arlington - they have a good team and been with them for numerous cars.
I was actually one of the first GX owners in the NW Suburbs 😎.
