That's what we thought! They have had a $10k price drop on the new models, and it has really hurt those left with the 2008-2011 RX350's worse than that. Bad for people trading or those left with secondhand ones in yards, but good if you want a used one. To be honest, you'd have rocks in your head to buy one of these when you can have a Kluger for $40k less - they are essentially the same thing. My mrs simply didn't want a 7 seater bus though! What I have come to realise about these though is you get all the perks of a European car (like better/longer warranty provisions, great after purchase service eg free wash every 2 weeks, loan car when servicing plus much more etc) but without being fleeced on servicing and extended warranty prices. Annual (or 15,000kM) services are about $350 (so about twice Toyota's 6 months cost - i'll do oil and filter at 6 months though, these use Toyota filter and Synthetic so $100 cost @6months). They come with 4 years new car warranty (so this car has over 3 left), and another 3 years factory warranty after the 4 is over is less than $2000. Being a Toyota I have access to Toyota Insurance, which is only about $1100 - cheaper than NRMA, and includes full use of genuine Lexus or Toyota parts (lots of aftermarket bits around for these that NRMA etc will use). Plus it is a proper luxury car, pretty much the equivalent of BMW X5 and other such peers, just without the (for example) $3000 40,000kM service! Replaceable items like genuine catalytic converters are Toyota prices, not $3,000 a piece. If I do the oil changes myself at 6 month intervals it won't go into limp home mode and have to be taken back to the (for example) VW or BMW dealer! The only downfall is a semi-small front ender will probably see it written off as headlights are $5,000 a piece, radar grille badge is similar, and as it is a "used" vehicle (not a demo) it is not covered by new for old, so we'd get paid out the insurance amount and have to find another.
