Lexus

Lexus arrived in 1989 with the LS 400, a car resulting from Toyota's secret F1 project to build the world's best sedan. It immediately challenged the German establishment with its incredible refinement, build quality, and reliability, setting a new standard for the luxury segment. Over the next decades, Lexus expanded its lineup with coupes, convertibles, SUVs, and performance-oriented models.

While the brand is known for dependable luxury, specific models drive collector interest. The V10-powered LFA supercar is the ultimate halo car, representing the pinnacle of Lexus engineering and design. Enthusiasts also seek out the V8-powered F models like the IS F and GS F, the 2JZ-equipped SC 300 coupe, and rugged, Land Cruiser-based SUVs like the GX 470. Even early, well-preserved examples of the original LS 400 are now gaining appreciation as modern classics.

The Lexus market is incredibly broad, reflecting a diverse model history. The low end of the market consists of high-mileage sedans and parts cars, while the seven-figure sales are almost exclusively the LFA. The average sale price of around $27,000 is supported by strong demand for performance models and highly capable SUVs like the GX and LX series, which maintain excellent value.

Prices for Lexus vehicles range from as low as $100 for project cars to $1,625,000 for the LFA supercar.
