A 2014 Lexus IS runs about $17,925 in the Canadian market right now. That's the middle of the pack. Most of what's listed sits between $16,600 and $19,749, so if you're seeing a clean example priced inside that band, you're paying a fair market rate rather than a premium or a bargain.
Anything below roughly $16,600 deserves a closer look before you get excited. It could be a genuine deal, or it could be a car with a story the odometer and history report will explain. The median example on the market has around 167,584 km on it, which is a useful anchor. Compare the odometer in front of you against that number, because it's the single biggest lever on what you should pay.
What mileage does to the price
Every extra 10,000 km knocks about $484 off the asking price on this year. So a car sitting 40,000 km above that 167,584 km median should cost you roughly $1,900 less than the typical listing, all else equal. Run that math before you negotiate. If a higher-kilometre car isn't discounted to match, you've got a clear opening to push back, and the seller's own competition proves your point.
Our system flagged 8 deals on this model year in the last 90 days. These are the listings that came in priced below what the numbers say they should be. Not a flood, but enough that a patient buyer who watches the market for a few weeks can reasonably expect one to surface rather than settling for a listing at the top of the range.
