What Lexus RZ do most buyers choose?

The Lexus RZ years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume model years usually draw more shoppers because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing flexibility, and a better chance of finding the trim and condition you want.

What is the Lexus RZ's resale value?

Both model years show price declines, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The movement is fairly modest, and the smaller drop on the newer year suggests it has held value a bit better so far. For buyers, that can mean a more stable pricing picture while still opening the door to savings versus earlier asking prices. The 2024 and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
