The median 2018 Lexus RX in the Canadian market sits at $34,644. That's your anchor. Most of what's listed lands between $33,870 and $37,100, so if you're staring at a price outside that band, you've got a reason to ask why.
The typical range here is tight. Only about $3,200 separates the low end from the high end, which tells you sellers are pretty aligned on what this year is worth. A tight spread works in your favour. You don't need to chase dozens of listings to figure out fair value, and a car priced well above $37,100 needs to justify itself with something concrete, not just a nicer photo.
What the odometer costs you
The median car on the market has 90,674 km on it. Every extra 10,000 km knocks roughly $531 off the price. So a 120,000 km example should run about $1,600 under a 90,000 km one, all else equal. Run that math before you fall for a low sticker. A cheaper car with 40,000 more kilometres isn't actually cheaper.
Flip it around when you're negotiating. If the odometer reads well above the 90,674 km median, that's real dollars off, and the $531-per-10,000 figure gives you a number to point at instead of a vague feeling.
