19,000?? Holy cow. I was hoping to possibly get 12,000 for mine if I sell it next year.

Depending on year, miles, condition etc these hold their value pretty well. There are a lot of IS 250's on the market in my area, but not a lot of clean low mileage IS 350's, most I saw were over $24K. I searched Carvana, DGDG, carmax, dealerships and Craigslist (most were modded, I wanted fully stock) and I think I got lucky as this had only 1 owner, no accidents and he babied it. There were some 2006 and 2008 models that were around $11 to $13K, but most had close to 200K on them

The pic below are 2 IS 350's for sale on Carvana, a 2010 and 2014, both are nearing 100K miles, and as you can see their pricing is very close, although one is 4 years older. both will probably be sold by next week

Both you and the OP have found great examples of low mileage , babied cars. Which are far and few between. A guy I know found a one owner 20k mile (I think) IS350 last year. I bought mine with 38,000 miles about four years ago. So they’re out there! It’s worth waiting for the perfect car instead of settling.

damn see your guys mileage on your 2is makes mine seem like it has way to many miles lol i got mine with 124,661 and for being a 2006 lexus is350 i thought that was low miles lol i saw many is250s with under just 100k miles but i wanted an is350 and the one i ended up buying i thought was low enough miles knowing that these cars can go well over 200k miles if treated right.

You are good on the miles as long as it was properly maintained. Most Lexus owners I know are religious about it. They easily go past 200k

The 2010 is a Convertible, hence the pricing.
