Is this used Lexus RZ a fair price?
Enter the year, kilometres and asking price to see where it sits against typical prices.
Tip: the ad usually lists the features. More extras than most ads for the same year means fully loaded.
An estimate, not a valuation. Why
It compares the asking price with typical November 2026 prices for that year (carsales/RedBook and Glass's Guide). Condition, options, service history, battery health and where you live all move the price. For a formal valuation use RedBook or a dealer, and always do a PPSR check for finance owing or a written-off history.

The warranty runs from when the car was first sold, so a 2023 car has about 5 years left and a 2025 car about 7 years left. Ask for a battery health (state of health) report before you buy: how to check the battery, including independent tests from about $200. Got a reading or the range at 100%?
