Strong resale value. Good brand image, I live/work in Beverly Hills and still holds it's own against European rivals for much less. However, some brand snobs will throw their nose. Eh, who cares. see full Lexus IS review

Lexus cars in general are rock solid. There is definitely a return to investment quotient, in design, features, performance, and reliability, which translates into high resale value. see full Lexus IS review
