The 2016 Lexus IS auction market at a glance

The middle half of sales ran from $475 to $2,750, a 5.8x spread, so the damage on the car matters far more than the badge.

75% still ran and drove when sold; most were lightly or moderately damaged, which props up the median.

The most common primary damage was front end (66% of sales), followed by rear end (16%).

The monthly median moved up about 144% from June to September; medians swing with the mix of damage sold each month, so read that as direction, not a forecast.

Next to neighboring years of the IS, a 2017 brought $700 more at the median, and a 2015 brought $75 less at the median.

The typical one crossed the block with about 114,000 miles.

Wrecked 2016 Lexus IS questions

How much is a wrecked 2016 Lexus IS worth?

Most sold for $475 to $2,750 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $1,200 across 225 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.

Does it matter if my 2016 Lexus IS still runs?

Yes. 75% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.

Should I part out my wrecked 2016 Lexus IS or sell it whole?

At a median of $1,200, selling whole usually wins: parting out takes months, and fees and the leftover shell eat most of the difference.

Can I sell a 2016 Lexus IS with a salvage title?

Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
