Tap any dot on the chart to see its scores.

Brand reliability: Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength: 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set: Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants: The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict

Lexus mid-size sedan — 2.5L 4GR-FSE V6 + 3.5L 2GR-FSE V6 + 4.6L 1UR-FSE V8 (GS 460) + GS 450h hybrid + GS 300h hybrid options. Cars now 13-20 years old; aged-luxury items dominate. 2GR-FSE V6 is bulletproof Toyota V6 family. 6-speed automatic mature Aisin. GS 450h hybrid uses the matured Toyota hybrid family. Older Lexus build quality is exceptional.

Asking: S$27k–53k
Median: S$38k
Decay: —

What's good

2GR-FSE V6 (GS 350) or GS 450h hybrid with full Lexus service — bulletproof Toyota V6 + matured hybrid family. Boring durable Lexus choices.
Documented Lexus dealer service + closed recalls — older Lexus build is exceptional; documented service is the durability signal.

What to watch

A hybrid 8+ years old with no battery-health report — universal aged-Toyota-hybrid concern. Reconditioned packs S$3-6k locally.
AC compressor / air-suspension issues at 13+ years — universal age-related items. Budget if present.
