Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2011 Lexus Is worth?
A 2011 Lexus Is has a median retail value of $8,649, with most appraised between $7,120 and $11,275. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $1,650 across 30 recent sales — the middle 50% between $1,075 and $2,500.
Why is the 2011 Lexus Is so cheap at auction?

For the 2011 Lexus Is that gap runs about 5.2× — $8,649 retail against a $1,650 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
