Lexus RC keeps an estimated 72% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #133 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Lexus RC retains an estimated 72% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #133 of 684 cars we track. That is 16 points above the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Lexus RC sheds about 0% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $45,620 it falls to around $32,709 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,911, about $7.07 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Lexus RC bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
