Discover the 2010 Lexus IS and its value in today’s market

When you first set eyes on a sleek 2009‑2010 Lexus IS, the colour, curvature and the whisper of its engine hint at a premium experience. Yet, for many potential owners, the key question is how much the Lexus IS price should be today. What is a 2010 Lexus IS worth?—that’s exactly what this overview addresses. By looking at core specs, depreciation trends, and comparable models, we help you make an informed decision without any guessing around price ranges.

Understanding Lexus IS depreciation

The Lexus IS is known for its fine balance of performance, comfort and brand prestige, but it still follows the typical patterns of automotive depreciation. Here’s a realistic 5‑year outlook:

  • First Year: 15–20% drop from MSRP
  • First Three Years: 40–50% total depreciation
  • Five Years: 60–70% depreciation from new‑car value

So, while a freshly built—what would be the ?Lexus IS 2010 price?—might have cost around $35,000 in 2010, a 5‑year‑old model today is often worth 30%–35% of that. However, specific conditions—maintenance history, mileage, accident record—can shift the market value substantially. For a thorough check, data from multiple dealerships and service records should be examined together with the basic specs.

Comparison context

The Lexus IS sits in the compact luxury car segment, competing directly with the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes‑B Class, Audi A4, and Acura TLX. Here are a few benchmarks:
