The median 2021 Lexus IS in the Canadian market sits at $37,828. That's your anchor. If you're staring at an asking price, measure it against that number first and everything else second.
Most of these cars land between $35,218 and $43,340. That's the typical range, and it's a wide one. A car near the bottom is usually higher mileage or a plainer setup, while the top end tends to be low-kilometre examples or loaded ones. Anything much above $43,340 needs a clear reason, and anything under $35,218 is worth a hard look at condition and history before you get excited.
What mileage does to the price
The median odometer reading here is 71,988 km, so treat that as the baseline a typical listing is priced around. Kilometres cost roughly $657 per 10,000 on this year. A car with 40,000 km more than the median should run about $2,600 cheaper on that basis alone, and one that's barely driven earns a real premium. Small differences in the odometer barely move the needle. Big ones absolutely do.
