The Lexus IS debuted in the US for 2001 as the IS 300, a direct competitor to the BMW 3 Series. It featured a rear-wheel-drive platform and the coveted 2JZ-GE inline-6, instantly earning a reputation for its balance and tuning potential. The first generation (XE10) is remembered for its distinct style, including the chronograph-style gauge cluster, and it laid the groundwork for future performance models.
Collectors prioritize the first-generation IS 300 with the 5-speed manual transmission, a rare combination that offers a pure driving experience. The durability of the 2JZ engine makes these cars popular with tuners and preservationists alike. Later, the IS F, powered by a 5.0L V8, carved its own niche as a reliable and potent Japanese muscle sedan, and clean examples are now highly sought after.
The current market is very broad. While top-tier IS F models and manual IS 300s fetch premium prices, the average sale price of around $17,500 reflects the high volume of newer V6-powered models (IS 250/350) trading as dependable used cars. The wide price spectrum shows the IS serves both as a daily driver and an emerging collectible.
Prices for the Lexus IS range from $710 for project cars to $75,250 for low-mileage, high-performance models.
21,308 Lexus IS vehicles have been tracked across auctions and listings on Hypercars, with 8530 currently live. Sold prices range from $500 to $9,750,656.
