L/Certified 101: Why Lexus Models Depreciate Less

When you invest in a luxury Lexus vehicle from the L/Certified models in the inventory at Lexus of Valencia, one significant factor in the total cost of ownership is depreciation. This is the rate at which a car loses its value over time. Year after year, Lexus vehicles are renowned for holding their value over time and depreciating less than many competitors. Here is an overview of why this is the case from the team at Lexus of Valencia.

Lexus Quality and Reliability

The foundation of why pre-owned Lexus cars retain value so well starts with the automaker’s fundamental principles of reliability, build quality, and durability. Lexus often ranks at the top of dependability studies, meaning owners experience fewer unexpected problems and greater satisfaction. In fact, J.D. Power ranked Lexus highest overall in its vehicle dependability rankings for 2025.

The highly trained engineers at Lexus build every model using high-quality materials and precise manufacturing standards, resulting in vehicles that look and feel premium for years. Finally, Lexus vehicles are engineered to last, making them trustworthy for the original and subsequent owners.
