Default I think we've reached peak used car price insanity

53k for a 2015 with 33,000 miles.
Having shopped for months for my 2017 (which I paid 49k for) this could be the highest price I've ever seen on a 2015.

Three years ago I bought my 2015 RCF with 17K mikes exactly like that one for 47K. My RCF was like new inside and out and I felt like I paid on the high end at the time, but the condition was so good. Now I have over 30K miles and I could maybe make a few thousand. Good for me...LOL

That’s just way over priced. I paid same amount a month ago for 2017 11k miles white/red performance package. I hope no one get suckered into that price.

I don't know if it is over priced, the used car market here in California is over the top. I was looking for a used small suv for my wife the last few months and the prices for used ones were as much as new ones. The wife ended up liking the Mazda CX-5 Signature the best, so that is what we got. We went brand new.

Some of these dealers get a used RC-F and lose their minds. I've seen 2017's recently for close to 60k!
Just nuts.

It really is. I couldn’t believe some of the prices I was seeing when I was shopping. I’m just fortunate to have found the specs I wanted and what I think is a good deal when in comparison what others are listing 2017s low mileage performance package.

I think it is just the overall market. I sold my RX400h for $3000 profit after looking at the comps. I kept it for about 1.5 years.

Another example of similar spec RCF as mine (carbon/TVD). It is exactly the same spec and mileage as mine at this stage (17K KM). The asking price is $64,0000 CAD (MSRP for carbon/TVD was $96,000 CAD). I paid the same in a private sale when it had 13,900 KM in 2017. Though, I paid well below market at that time considering the low mileage. Still, this dealership is now asking the same price I paid 4 years ago with higher mileage.

Another one is a 2020 with 32,000 KM and $90K CAD asking

Carmax has the only 2018 I've seen in a while. And all things considered, not a bad price:

And the 2015 looks like an auto auction vehicle, plus no warranty. For $20k more one could go to their sister store which is Wilde Lexus and purchase a 2020 RCF CPO with only 2,200 miles.

Yea I heard more people are just buying used cars and it’s driving the demand and prices up as inventory gets limited. Last time I went to my Lexus delearship the lot barely has any new or used cars and the lot looked kind of sad. I’m sure the chip shortage has something to do with that as well.
