Back on topic- Astra, how long did it take for your dad to take delivery of his lexus, or did he buy one off the showroom floor?

I'm glad you're so philosophical about the whole thing- I would be asking questions....:mad:

uhmm, he was going back and forth for ages deciding on colour, but at the end, i think it was relitively short time... from start to finish i think it was around 4 weeks? it was at the dealer for 1 day

docbeemer · 03-07-2007, 06:48 PM

^The lexus usually comes fully loaded so the options list must be short, so all they had to do was find one lying around in the right colour (they couldn't build and send one in 4 weeks). Only 1 day at the dealer- impressive!

astra · 03-07-2007, 06:49 PM

apparently, it was built not long ago anyway... we know it was an 07 atleast... forget the build date though

When I purchased my Toyota Kluger, The car came out from Kyushu factory in Japan on 14 January 2004. I take the car home in Brisbane on 18 February 2004. 35 days only. Impressive!

Japs have very efficient production lines. Quality of the car is another issue though being efficient manufacturers could mean quality cutting in some cases. I know Honda is very good with both factory efficiency and quality.
