Nulux & leather Trim

[j1stealth]

Is interior leather a free option on the premium ct? When I configure the car interior, it doesn't show any price difference between leather and nuluxe trim.

Leather package is $1330 plus you also need to purchase the premium audio package for $1125.

Leather will cost you $2455.

When I did the "build your own CT200h" on Lexus.com, I was allowed to select the premium audio ($1,125 - that was Package A) without selecting leather trim. I started with the premium model.

Maybe that's only in my area (TX)? I hope the website isn't wrong. But if it is, I won't be getting the premium audio, then, since I don't want leather seats (they'd get all scratched up....my pets...plus I just have never cared for leather seats in cars...in the TX heat they seem like they're melting after sitting in a parking lot for an hour in 100 degree heat).

The Lexus 'Build your CT' site seems to have dropped a few options over the last few days. Not sure why, either its a program problem or the higher end ones are a very limited build from what the dealer said, with the majority in the mid price range which would mean less option choices at some point. I did one the first of last week and 3 or 4 of the same options were not showing on Friday.

It seems that Lexus is changing the options & accessories price everyday!!! a remote start engine accessory was $375 and now it's $240. Wheel locks were at $79.. now it's $43.. ... at least in san jose, ca.. what's going on??? the nav package was $2445 and now it's $2680..
Are they testing out the prices and what people are willing to pay??

J1stealth-
Evidently only you and I are getting the same interior trim options on our online build. I have asked the same question on another thread and no one else seems to know what we're talking about.

I went into the dealer to see if their online build also had the leather seats priced same as the NuLuxe, and they did. It doesn't matter which package I selected, A or B, both had the Black and Water Gray leather seats as an option with no price difference from the NuLuxe. However, on the C package you get "perforated" leather seats. The only thing the sales person and I could figure is that the regular leather seats (priced same as NuLuxe) are not perforated. You have to go with the C package in order to get perforated leather seats. I'm planning on going with the leather over the NuLuxe for the same price. If I knew more about the NuLuxe I might give it a try.

When I do a build, the leather is the first option before the package page and its basically a stand alone option.

[tchris]

Kostamojen,
Yes, exterior color, then interior trim options including leather are the first selections for me as well. are you getting a difference in build price with leather vs NuLuxe?

[Kostamojen]

Of course, Leather is like $1500 more once you click it. Nuluxe is the standard material.

The "perforated" leather shows up in the expensive packages, but I don't recall seeing a difference.
