Buying a Lexus from a dealer or an owner
Comparing the same model year on both sides — 19 years of listings, 3,262 from dealers and 2,579 private — a dealer-sold Lexus asks 19% more than one sold privately, 1.19× at the median. That premium buys reconditioning, a warranty in some states and paperwork someone else handles; whether it is worth it depends on how much of that you would rather do yourself.
Drawn within each model year on purpose — a flat comparison would put the Lexus dealer premium far higher, but only because dealer stock is younger, not because the markup is bigger.

How we count
All Lexus figures on this page come from 8,627 live Lexus listings — asking prices, not sale prices. Sellers ask more than they get, so treat these as the top of the range, not the bottom.
Percentages here are never plain averages: each listing is first turned into its ratio against the median for its own model year, and those ratios are averaged instead. Without that step the numbers lie confidently — average every Lexus listing by seller and the dealer premium looks far bigger than the honest 19% above, purely because dealer stock is younger. Slices too thin to survive the test are dropped rather than dressed up with an error bar, which on Lexus leaves 16 models standing out of the 16 tracked. The full method, with the traps it avoids →
