Lexus IS-250 Depreciation & Resale Value

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.
