The median 2015 Lexus IS in the Canadian market sits at $17,850. That's your anchor. If you're staring at a listing and wondering whether the number is fair, this is the figure to measure it against.
Most of what's out there falls between $17,125 and $19,471. That's a tight band, which tells you the market has a pretty firm opinion on what this car is worth. A price near $17,125 is at the value end. Cross much past $19,471 and you're paying above what the typical car commands, so you'd want a reason: lower kilometres, a loaded trim, spotless history.
What to actually pay
The median car has 171,263 km on it. That's real distance, and it's baked into the median price. So when you see $17,850, picture a car with roughly that mileage. A cleaner example with fewer clicks can justify sitting at the top of the range or a touch above.
