Used Lexus IS: What to Know Before You Buy

A premium executive saloon.

Why people choose the Lexus IS

Executive saloons and estates typically offer a noticeably more refined ride and a higher-quality cabin than mainstream equivalents, often available at surprisingly accessible prices once a few years old.

What to check on a used IS

Servicing and parts costs are usually higher than a mainstream car of the same age — a full main dealer or specialist service history is worth paying a bit more for.

This is on top of the usual used-car checks that apply to any vehicle — see our full pre-purchase inspection guide for the complete list.
