The second-generation Lexus IS directly challenged its German rivals with refined styling and potent V6 power. It remains an affordable and reliable entry point into the modern Japanese luxury sport sedan market, with the IS 350 being a particular enthusiast favorite.
Typical sold price of a Lexus IS 2nd Gen ranges from $2,000 to $12,000, based on 9,793 sales tracked on Hypercars. 2,871 currently for sale.
The second-generation Lexus IS, launched for 2006, was a complete redesign that elevated the model to a direct competitor against German sport sedans. With a larger, more luxurious chassis and a new range of V6 engines, it offered a compelling blend of performance and Toyota's hallmark reliability. The lineup included the IS 250 with a 2.5L V6 and the more powerful IS 350 with a 306 hp 3.5L V6. The introduction of the V8-powered IS F in 2008 solidified its performance credentials.
Collectors and enthusiasts appreciate the 2nd-gen IS for its timeless styling, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and strong aftermarket support. The IS 350 is particularly sought after for its robust 2GR-FSE engine, which doesn't suffer from the carbon buildup issues that can affect the smaller IS 250. While the high-performance IS F occupies a different market segment, clean V6 models, especially in RWD Sport Package configuration, are becoming increasingly desirable.
The market for the standard IS models remains highly accessible. With an average sale price under $9,000, these cars represent a great value. The low end of the market consists of high-mileage IS 250s, while the upper end, approaching $22,000, is reserved for low-mileage, well-maintained IS 350 examples. It's a car where condition and maintenance history heavily influence value.
Based on recent sales, prices for the second-generation Lexus IS range from $710 for project cars to $21,900 for well-preserved examples.
9,793 Lexus IS 2nd Gen vehicles have been tracked across auctions and listings on Hypercars, with 2871 currently live. Sold prices range from $500 to $9,750,656.
