2-Year Forecasted Depreciation
*Depreciation for the last 12 months of the private party resale value.
Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.

The Lexus LS provides the elegant, upscale interior you’d expect from a luxury car and boasts enviable build quality and resale value. Smooth ride, impressive power and Lexus levels of comfort continue to be LS mainstays. New styling finally gives the LS the looks that make it stand out.
Despite being around for nearly 30 years, Lexus doesn’t have the same cachet as other luxury brands. There are more enthusiast-friendly offerings elsewhere, including AMG-tuned Mercedes and a wide variety of Porsche Panamera options. In addition, some of the Lexus’ styling cues aren’t universally loved.
