FROM
$11,000

The 2013 Lexus IS range of configurations is currently priced from $11,000.

Our most recent review of the 2013 Lexus IS resulted in a score of 7.6 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Deputy News Editor Tom White had this to say at the time: Smooth, cosy, quiet, the IS looks and feels better than ever, but without a doubt this hybrid version is a car best suited to cruising the dense metropolis of Chiba at midnight more than it is carving up a bunch of S-bends in the Australian countryside on the weekend.

Lexus IS 2013 FAQs

Do trade-in valuations consider added options?

The trade-in valuations generally don't take options into account, that's consider covered by the range that goes along with the valuation. The trade-in guide on your car is $28,000-$31,500. You should also remember that it's a guide only, and there's no reason why you shouldn't negotiate a better price, and to shop around to get the best price you can. You are better off buying a higher model with everything fitted to it than a lesser model and then optioning it up. It will always be the lesser model, no matter what's fitted to it.
