2008 Lexus ES, used · 5th generation
A fair price at 60,000 km is $15,888 to $19,483 (estimated), from 9 similar cars in Canada this month (2 already sold).
Right in line with the market. You might get a few hundred off, but there is no big overcharge here.
Only 0 2008 ESs listed near 60,000 km, so this is estimated from the nearest listed mileage (100 to 150k km, 2 cars) using how 5th generation ES prices fall with mileage.
Hi, I am interested in the 2008 ES listed at $18,995. Comparable ones in Canada have been selling between $15,888 and $19,483 at this mileage, typically around $17,686. Would you take $17,686? I can come in this week.
250 used ESs (2007 and newer) in Canada right now. Here are the 20 most recently listed, each checked against the fair range for its own year and mileage. 1 looks like a good deal.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $15,888 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2007 saves about $3,882 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 2 of the 9 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 2 cars at the nearest mileage). Prices are per vehicle; the same car listed at several rooftops is counted once. Sold cars are kept in because a car that sold at a price is evidence about that price.
