Katzjamr, I think that Tacoma (Fife) and Bellevue Lexus are under common ownership although they perhaps have separate allocations of vehicles. We have put a deposit down with Bellevue and the indication is that it could take 60 days although they hold out a bit of hope for earlier. Hope your guess at two weeks or less is correct. Sounds like you had a good experience with Tacoma.
I would not recommend Seattle Lexus in Lynnwood. Very un-lexus like sales service imho. Much runaround about the 400h and too many wasted trips to Lynnwood. I can't conceive of giving them a deposit.

They are the same owner. When i called Bellevue august a year ago they already had a list of over 200, Tacoma made me number 28 when i drove down with a check. Because they are more out of the way i think they try harder. The sales people took alot of time with me, let me drive the demo three times in addition to the car i finally purchased in july. One sales man who had the most knowledge on the 400h told me to buy an RX 330 if i did mostly freeway driving. I appreciated that, however when i drove the 400h i was sold. I have no financial relationship with them however i would buy a car from them again and have sent other people there. I called the Seattle dealership and was in close contact with a sales lady. She was helpful however at that time they would not even put me on a list as they were reserving cars for 'previous customers'. Oddly enough she called one day after i purchased the 400h from Tacoma and said she had a car if i wanted it. Im sure Bellevue will take care of u, its my feeling Tacoma will get u a vehicle faster.

Sorry, don't remember the salemans name but he is stationed at the repair center next to the old Bellevue Journal building. He quoted me 7 top 10 day delivery if I could accept what was available in transit. Six to 8 weeks otherwise.

Tacoma has indicated they are three months out on their orders. You were smart to be ahead of a lot of people and I am a bit late to the party.

When those cars come in they need to move them and the people on the list are not always ready or available, or they pass for some reason like color and options. Every saturday lexus takes an inventory of what is sitting on the lots and the dealers want those cars sold to keep their allocations up. I would actively call your salesperson and cultivate a relationship with one salesperson in tacoma also, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. good luck

Hope this info helps
I think you need to rent out your services to those that are paying MSRP for the RX400h. Good luck and welcome to the forum. Keep us posted as to your experience with the new vehicle.

ah, you're lucky. I bought mine at Warnock, too. However, color, is the issue. Unfortunately I didn't want the colors they have. However, they are the best when it comes to service! Good luck with yours.

FYI JM Lexus in Margate Florida is quoting $3000.00 off all RX400H's in today's
local paper. Not a salesman or connected with JM. I got $1000.00 off 4 months
ago from them.
