2024 Lexus RX — factory order status has not moved in weeks

NoMarkupLearner282Community StarterAug 28, 20262024 Lexus RX 350hPhoenix
Dealer gave me an order/reference number but the status has been unchanged for weeks. For people who have ordered cars, what updates are meaningful versus normal waiting between milestones? If I figure it out I will update the thread.

I asked about factory order status has not moved in again and they still won't put GAP/add-ons on their own lines. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.

Get the messy numbers in writing first. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2024 Lexus RX so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. If they balk, that's your answer. On “factory order status has not moved in,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the sequence I'd use. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. In Phoenix, insurance quotes flipped a 2024 Lexus RX comparison for me more than the sale price did. Then the comparison gets honest. No need to make it theatrical. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Treat this like a math problem, not a vibe. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2024 Lexus RX numbers without them. If they balk, that's your answer. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I'd rather be boring and correct. Sleeping on the number either way.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. In Phoenix, insurance quotes flipped a 2024 Lexus RX comparison for me more than the sale price did. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.

Treat this like a math problem, not a vibe. Ask for out-the-door on the 2024 Lexus RX with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. That's the sequence I'd use. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.
