The 2014 Lexus IS is not on our list of model years with a widely reported mechanical or electrical problem. That is a point in its favour, not a clean bill of health — this car's own history still matters, so check the VIN report and get it inspected.

The verdict
The 2014 Lexus IS 250C Convertible RWD is listed at $19,745 with 80,945 miles. The Caboose score is 9.0 out of 10, built from three things: how far below market the price sits, how much of the 200,000-mile target is still ahead of the odometer, and how often this model reaches 250,000 miles in the iSeeCars study (17.5% of Lexus ISs do).
The asking price is $1,623 (7.6%) under the CarGurus expected price of $21,368, which is a real discount rather than a rounding gap. That puts it in the top group of cars on this site, so it is worth a same-week inspection before someone else books one.
