Drop in values thoughts
What are your thoughts about the new model coming out with all the differences? Do you see or feel the values of the existing RX 350s will drop more since it’s a new model year?

Thanks for the reply. Dealer said the same thing…. His thinking was more like older folks are going to hate it,(I admit I was one) just like when the current model came out years ago and took some time to get used to it….no more 6 cylinders and more tech to go wrong….

To be honest only the people who know cars will want the bullet proof v6, hyundai did this to the santa fe back in I believe 2012-13. They took out the v6 and replaced it with a N/A 4 cylinder and the turbo 4 cylinder. It drastically crashed the pre 2012-13 body styles value. But you might be on to somthing the N/A 4 cylinder was **** poor and the turbo was horrid, they eventually brought back their tried and true v6 in 2017 i think. But then again they are hyundai's and were talking about the lexus.
I believe the 4 cylinder turbo is the same they use in the IS models and also in the NX and the're pretty solid. Toyota/lexus does have a good track record with mixing motors and hybrids but im sure they'll run into some issues but nothing major as the technology for the prius and rx450h has been around for nearly +20 years.

Probably won’t drop the 4th gen resale value as much as the 4th gen did to the 3rd gen.
1) Design from 4th gen to 5th is not as significant change as 3rd gen to 4th. When the 4th came out in 2015, it made the 3rd gen immediately outdated. The 4th gen design is so unique that the 5th gen cannot do much to outdate it. IMO.
2) The V6 on the 4th gen RX will still be a classic engine and always be desirable. Only the price of gas will shun away some people from this engine. It’s not as efficient.
3) Until the inventory improve to pre-pandemic level, the 4th gen resale will hold.
I might just hold on to my ‘17 RX and go straight to RZ when the range is improved after a couple of model year.

I can say that on the RX too. There ain’t much RX350 or 450 where I go.

150?! I can't imagine a dealership having 25 sitting around, yet alone over 150.
The dealership in Evansville, IN had 5 new RX350s when I stopped by yesterday. All were low optioned base models and were grey, except one was blue.
