The 2021 Lexus RX sits at a median of $40,900 in the Canadian market right now. Most cars land between $38,995 and $44,900, so if you're looking at anything inside that band, you're paying a fair price. Above $44,900 and you'd want a reason, either very low kilometres or a loaded trim.
The median car has 77,603 km on it. That's your reference point. A car with noticeably less should carry a premium, and one with more should cost less, which brings us to how mileage actually moves the number here.
What mileage costs you
Every extra 10,000 km knocks about $1,119 off the price. So a 2021 RX at 110,000 km is worth roughly $3,600 less than one sitting at the 77,603 km median, all else equal. Run that math before you fall for a clean-looking listing. A low sticker on a high-km car isn't a deal, it's just the mileage doing its job.
The trims tell an interesting story. The Base trim medians at $38,995 and clusters tight, from $38,995 up to $40,741. The Luxury trim actually medians lower at $34,988, with a wider spread up to $40,995. If you can find a Luxury car at the bottom of its range, you're getting more equipment for less money than the Base commands. That's the value play, assuming the mileage checks out.
We've flagged 8 deals on this model year in the last 90 days. Not a flood, but enough that a patient buyer working the market shouldn't have to overpay.
