Lexus IS-250 keeps an estimated 52% of its recent market value after 5 years — #350 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Lexus IS-250 retains an estimated 52% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #350 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Lexus IS-250 sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $32,500 it falls to around $16,802 by year five — a five-year loss near $15,698, about $8.60 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Lexus IS-250 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.

It keeps an estimated 52% of its recent market value after five years — worse than most among the 530 cars VINdown tracks (ranked #350).
From about $32,500 when new it drops to roughly $16,802 after five years — a loss near $15,698 (52% of its recent market value retained).
Around 2 years old: that is just past the steepest depreciation, so you skip the biggest drop while the value curve is flattening.
