Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2013 Lexus Is worth?
A 2013 Lexus Is has a median retail value of $9,694, with most appraised between $7,943 and $11,516. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $1,300 across 27 recent sales — the middle 50% between $425 and $2,325.
Why is the 2013 Lexus Is so cheap at auction?

For the 2013 Lexus Is that gap runs about 7.5× — $9,694 retail against a $1,300 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.

Prices reflect live Copart and IAAI sale data from the last 180 days. They are most useful for: gauging salvage rebuild margins, comparing private-party asking prices to the auction floor, and spotting overpriced dealer listings. For a clean-title retail estimate use the depreciation calculator.
