How much does a used Lexus Is cost in Singapore?

Most used Lexus Is on the market are around 8 years old, asking roughly S$64k–S$70k (typically about S$69k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.

How much does a used Lexus Is depreciate per year?

A used Lexus Is loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 26% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.

Is the Lexus Is reliable?

In our read, the Lexus Is scores 90 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.

What should I expect to pay for a used Lexus Is with a given mileage?

It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.

Where do these Lexus Is figures come from?

They're worked out from current used-Lexus Is listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.

Price range: P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment: MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability: High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

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's rear-drive sedan competitor to BMW 3-Series / Mercedes C-Class — IS 250 / IS 300 (2GR-FSE V6, 4GR-FSE V6, post-2017 8AR-FTS 2.0T) / IS 300h hybrid / IS 350 (2GR-FSE V6). The V6 NA engines (2GR-FSE, 4GR-FSE) are bulletproof Toyota durables. IS 300h hybrid is the road-tax-efficient choice with matured THS-II reliability. IS 200t / IS 300 with 8AR-FTS turbo (post-2017) carries the same oil-consumption / rear main seal story as Lexus NX 200t — verify the ECU + piston-ring fix paperwork. F-Sport trim cosmetic.

Asking: S$51k–99k
Median: S$69k
Decay: 16.7%/yr

What's good

IS 250 / IS 350 with V6 NA engine (2GR-FSE / 4GR-FSE) — same bulletproof Toyota V6 family powering RX 350 / ES 350 / Camry V6. The NA V6 is the most-confident pick across the IS lineup; no turbo complexity, no hybrid considerations.
IS 300h hybrid (2AR-FSE + THS-II) with documented battery SOH — same matured Toyota hybrid system + Lexus build quality. The road-tax-efficient choice; pull a SOH report at viewing on cars 5+ years old.

What to watch

A post-2017 IS 200t / 300 turbo that's burning oil, with no ECU + piston-ring fix done — same recurring oil-consumption pattern as NX 200t + RX 200t. Lexus issued ECU + revised piston ring fix; without paperwork the engine continues to burn oil. Walk unless heavily discounted.
F-Sport with bushing / suspension component creak — Lexus IS suspension components wear faster on the F-Sport tuning. Diagnose at viewing; bushing replacement S$300-800 locally.

Asking: S$34k–61k
Median: S$47k
Decay: —

What's good

2GR-FSE V6 (IS 350) with full Lexus service history — bulletproof Toyota V6 family. Comfortable to 300k+ km when serviced. Boring durable choice.
IS-F (2UR-GSE V8) with documented Lexus service + low mileage — increasingly cult-collector V8 performance Lexus. Documented service is the durability + value signal.

What to watch

A heavy ex-taxi / ex-private-hire IS at high mileage — wear front-loads on aged Lexus. Treat as commercial-grade depreciation.
Air-suspension issues on IS-F (if optioned) — universal aged-luxury air-suspension item. Budget if symptoms present.
