Hi All. Looking to buy a 2017-2021 RC 350 F Sport Model with the ML sound system. I've noticed these are not very easy to come by in the used car market (I am in Mass), but have found a couple locally. Just wondering what you think about the following deal:

2017 Lexus RC 350 AWD F Sport
ML Sound system
43,000 Miles
$39K

Seems a little high to me, but thought I'd get the thoughts of the experts. Thanks so much for your help.

Just food for thought, mine's a 2015 with the same mileage, RWD with non-ML system. I just got an offer from Carvana for $29K, so I don't think you're that off on price...plus you might be able to get them down (possibly). Good luck with your car hunt, that's the funnest part!

Also, buy a CAI and install it yourself, super easy to do...it will change the motor tremendously, in a good way.

Seems fair considering new 2023s are going for $59-61,000

Price seems a tad high. Try to get it down to mid 30s, especially since it may have been sitting for a while. But I agree, fully loaded RC350s are hard to come by, especially if you want a specific color combo. If budget is a concern, don't be afraid to go for higher milage either since these cars are pretty reliable. Just be sure maintenance has been done.

My thoughts are to go for the less expensive RC300 F sport and take it to RR or TTFS and have the detuned engine turned back up to 350 specs.
Looking at buying just that and getting it dialed up.
Correct me if I am out to lunch, but isn't that the main difference?

Used cars are still expensive...heck, everything is still expensive. I have a buddy that just paid $150K for a 3 year old Super Air Nautique wake boat with 99 hours on it. If he bought 5 years ago when he originally thought he wanted one he could have saved over $50K.

Also, on the RC300 tuning thing, might be less money to buy a stock 350 and less hassle, and time to get it to the spec he wants out of the bag, with some warranty still.

I just purchased my 2021 Blackline RC350 F-Sport AWD with ML in the Chicago area for $45,059 with 12500 miles. I'm a day in but loving it.
