💸 The 'official' I put my deposit down list... (2 Viewers)

I put a $1,000 deposit down at a Northern California dealer. They told me probably 6 month wait.

Last month I was on vacation in Palm Springs. I saw they had the 25 OT+ in Earth that I wanted, but it said "pending sale." I called the dealership and they said the truck was due to be delivered in 3 days and it was not sold. I told them I'm on my way to the dealership and I'll buy it. I did.

They told me that they listed it as "pending sale" because they get about 50 calls a day from other dealers trying to get their hands on it.

Congratulations.
 
I put a deposit down ($1100) at a local dealer for a Incognito / Black Onyx OT+ in January, and after declining a couple of different colors (black , then atomic silver), I got a call this past weekend that mine will come at the end of August. I'm excited...

It initially came with some PIOs, but the dealer was transparent and asked what I want to remove - so was able to remove whatever I wouldn't have wanted myself - getting it at MSRP..

Welcome to the forum and the waitlist.
 
Trying to get a list going of people that have put a deposit down. Hopefully we can track the production once we've got dates and times of builds, etc... If you've put your deposit down, please let us know in here!
Put my deposit down about a month ago, dealer called and they have one due in mid August.
 
Looks like GX is showing on Dealers Site:
Deposit down on 4/6 for OT+ Incognito / Black interior.
Only asked for ML Speakers, Digital Key, Black Emblem...
Keyglove and Ball mount were added. no other extra's.
According to dealer should have by/in August.
 
$1000 in ABQ

Wish it had the black roof, but beggars can't be choosers at this point (I've been on the list at 3 dealers since Jan).

$2500 02/2025 in HTX for Base Premium no options Atomic Silver
Got a call 2 weeks ago saying car will be delivered end of August 2025
 
I put a $2k deposit on a Luxury+ in early July after scouring local Chicago dealer website inventories. MSPR price with no other dealer markups (they tried, but I rebuffed). Salesman told me a late September was the ETA, but noticed their online listing with the same VIN as mine still shows as "In Stock" and doesn't have the the ETA date like I noticed some other cars do in their inventory.

Should I be concerned that the dealer can sell my VIN to someone else who might agree to their markups? Also I expected that after I put down the deposit it would be removed from the website, but it's still showing up in the search results as "In Stock". My chronic anxiety is not helping me here (lol) and I keep worrying they'll do the bait and switch last minute like I read on some other posts here and on Facebook.
 
My wife and I just put our 1000 down yesterday in Fife Washington. Really excited. Currently leasing an Acura MDX. Lease is up in 6 months hoping we have a Gx 550 by then.
 
Man, all these dealerships making people put $1000 or more down on a vehicle they have a long list of buyers for.
My dealership said there wasn't any need to, since they couldn't guarantee when it would come in and if I decided not to buy it they'd just go to the next person on the list. Guess that's the benefit to buying in a small town.
 
I'm a sales consultant at Houston, TX area Lexus dealership. We have a few incoming GX 550 available to reserve it. We still have a wait list going on but these units are no match for our wait list customers. They are available to reserve it only for Texas residents, management don't accept out of state deposits. Right now 2 Luxury trim and one Overtrail Plus available to reserve it.
If you are interested in, my cell phone number is 281 236 3860 ( Brian ). I can give you details.
 
Just ordered my OT in Titanium Carbide (Australia name for Incognito) with Black Oak trim. AU$5k deposit and I’m 11th on the build list so approx delivery in August 2026. Can’t wait! First Lexus and upgrading from 150 series 2021 VX Prado. When I took the OT for a test drive I knew it had to be mine and it was the first time I was so happy with everything it offered since buying new cars every 4-5 years since my first new car when I was 19 years old. Now 44 with Adult children I am so looking forward to continuing 4x4 and off grid camping with the wife in our new off-road caravan, good times coming 😁

Put my name down at the following dealerships. Can't wait!

Park Place Lexus Plano on 1/25/25
  • Earth OT with Chateau
  • Estimated 4-6 months

Sewell Lexus of Dallas on 2/27/25
  • Earth, Eminent White Pearl, Atomic Silver/Black Onyx OT with Chateau

Did you get your vehicle?? Or still waiting .. I am on their list too with same choices ..
 
I was on 3 different dealers lists and the first one came through @ 11.5 months.
There’s only one Lexus dealer where I live. Lexus of Adelaide. I’m 11th on the list for GX’s and this dealer gets one per month arriving from Japan. Bit of a wait but it’s what I want. Patience is a virtue as they say
