| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |

That can work in your favor if you’re shopping used, since recent and older examples alike are showing some price relief. One model year is essentially flat to slightly higher, which stands out against the broader pattern.
The 2016 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.
The 2016, 2021, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Lexus IS now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −3.66% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −3.11%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 37.4% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 38.3%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $41,098. The Lexus IS offers a sporty, premium driving character with a planted chassis and a finely trimmed interior.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The latest IS 350 has a 3.5-liter V6 engine making 311 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, and it is EPA-rated at 22 mpg combined.
- Tech: Two 12.3-inch displays, the latest Lexus Interface infotainment system software, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto headline the latest cabin tech.
- Safety: Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 adds lane-centering assist, evasive steering assist, traffic-sign recognition, and Proactive Driving Assist.
- Starting price: The 2026 IS lineup ranges from $46,895 to $63,095.
If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Lexus IS test drive
overall
The 2026 Lexus IS blends a fun drive with luxury and reliability.
Lexus refreshed the IS for the 2026 model year, infusing it with the latest digital instrumentation, infotainment, and driver-assistance technologies. It also updated the exterior and interior, re-tuned the steering and suspension, and refined the driving experience. However, the lineup loses the IS 300 with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine and the IS 500 with the thundering 5.0-liter V8, leaving a V6-powered IS 350 with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) as the sole model.
Verdict: The 2026 Lexus IS 350 is enjoyable to drive, exudes quality, and boasts a long-standing reputation for reliability. For those who want a small sports sedan with such characteristics, this is the car.
