What affected the price?


Several factors determined the final sticker price of a 2021 RX 450h.

Key considerations for used buyers

  • Regional taxes, fees, and registration costs


Prospective buyers should compare listings across multiple dealers or marketplaces and consider a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s condition and ensure pricing reflects its true value.
