Hey all, wanted to give some information that would have helped me out quite a while ago had I known about this dealership.

I have been on a list with my local dealership here in CO since April of '25. They originally told me 6-9 months which wasn't great but they also were selling at MSRP with no mandatory dealer add-ons. So I gave them a call in November to check up as we were in the window of what I was told. I am not exactly sure what changed, lower than expected allotments or if my salesperson misspoke (I had written down what I was told in my research spreadsheet) but it had moved until April of '26. I had been calling every dealership within 500 miles since summer to see if I could get one quicker. As we all know most dealerships were the same with long wait lists and others had shorter timelines but there were mandatory add-ons and/or market adjustments which I wasn't willing to do.

After I got the updated date I poured over this site and miraculously found a reference to Pembroke Pines Lexus in FL and that they had a very quick timeline and the dealership experience was great. While not expecting much I gave them a call in early November. They told me 60-90 days which was much better so I got on the list. About a week later I got the call that they had one allocated that matched what I wanted (LUX or LUX+ in several different colors). Car should hit the dealership in about a 10 days. This dealership has no market adjust, add-on's, etc.

So if anybody out there is looking or you are on a long list and you are ok buying out of state and shipping a car, give Pembroke Pines a call. Super easy to work with thus far and they had no issue selling out of state.
 
That is good info.

I joined this site a few years ago as I was possibly going to buy a GX550 for the wife. With all of the delays, dealer markups, reported engine issues early on, and after waiting it out for about a year, we went a different direction and bought a used GLE for cash. (we handed down her 2017 infinity QX60 with only 33k miles to her son) She obviously doesn't put on many miles a year, so the GLE checks every box for us. (We went with a 2017 as we didn't want the newer model with the electric assist in the trans, or whatever they have these days)

I just decided to check in here today, as I'm still interested in the GX550. I'm shocked that there are still waiting lists and dealer markups or add-ons. There still may be a GX550 in our future, but after browsing the threads this morning, it will apparenetly be in the more distant future.

I do like these GX's, so I'm going to try to stay tuned in. Thanks for a great site.

2017 GLE43 “baby AMG” here. Bought new, I think we have about 55k miles at this point. It would have been really nice in Germany back in the day, but I still manage to get some 99+ cruising in at certain places at certain times. Hope yours works well for you. 😊
 
I had the same issue last year.
So I contacted few dealers in Florida, and they had few cars available, however they warn me that it will be in issue to register car with certain counties in Texas, not sure what is going on. And i was lucky to be in those counties. LOL.
Then i contacted dealers in New York (lexus of queens) and got my White Premium plus within 2-3 weeks.
It was tiny marked up, but it was worth it, DM for more details, i can give you salesguy information.
Maybe they don't have Mark up anymore.
