Typical price by year — tap a year to pick it
Same generation, different year: a 2007 typically runs $-4 less; a 2009 about $0 more.
Colour = generation (same body and platform). Black tags mark facelift, new-tech and first or last years.
How did the dealer quote it?
2008 Lexus IS, used · 2nd generation
A fair price at 60,000 km is $11,015 to $17,216 (estimated), from 13 similar cars in Canada this month (1 already sold).
Right in line with the market. You might get a few hundred off, but there is no big overcharge here.
Only 1 2008 IS listed near 60,000 km, so this is estimated from the nearest listed mileage (75 to 100k km, 3 cars) using how 2nd generation IS prices fall with mileage.
Hi, I am interested in the 2008 IS listed at $14,995. Comparable ones in Canada have been selling between $11,015 and $17,216 at this mileage, typically around $14,115. Would you take $14,115? I can come in this week.
454 used ISs (2006 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.
Tags use the fair range for the region selected above. Hybrids and plug-ins tend to sit above the all-powertrain range until the powertrain filter is live. Prices as listed by the dealer; no photos, no dealer-paid placement.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $11,015 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- 1 of the 13 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 3 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.
