The LEXUS IS (2008-13) IS250 4DR SALOON 2.5 V6 SE-L SNAV AUTO6 is a premium compact executive saloon, offering a more refined alternative to a family hatchback. Its V6 petrol engine, automatic gearbox, SE-L equipment and sat nav give it an upmarket, relaxed feel. It competes with the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. mycarcheck.com records show 11 checks covering seven different VINs, so these figures offer a useful snapshot, not a complete market picture. Checked cars averaged £6,400 in private-sale value, 61,000 miles and 4,000 miles driven annually; the average keeper count was about 2.6. That modest annual mileage may appeal to buyers seeking a commuter or a car for couples and families, though rear space and running costs matter more than in a hatchback. The IS250 is known for its quiet, composed drive, quality cabin and generous SE-L features; check service history and condition before buying.
