Default Purchasing a 2014 CT 200h

Hi all - I'm in the market for a comfortable and fuel efficient daily driver. I'm currently looking at a 2014 CT 200h with 67k miles on the dash. The asking price is 17,500. Is this reasonable or way too high? Any issues to look out for? I've read the hybrid battery will eventually need replacing and this will be a couple thousand (please correct me if im wrong). Thanks in advance for reading and helping!

Seems reasonable enough. That's low miles for a 10 year old car. And yes, maintenance is a thing, batteries don't last forever.

​​​​​​With any used car, maintenance history and an independent mechanic inspection are required to be sure you are getting a reliable vehicle. Review through the threads here and try some searches to learn more about the issues with this car as it has been discussed a lot.
Do you have a CarFAX report? Who is selling it? What is their warranty, if any?
​​​​​​
You can go to the Lexus drivers site linked below, join for free and enter the VIN of any Lexus you are considering to buy used and then it lets you see the dealer service history and the car build sheet that shows its options. The site is a bit cranky and does not always work, so you may have to try a couple of times. https://www.lexus.com/My-Lexus/account/create-account

​​​​​​To see the service history at Lexus Drivers do the following:
On the page that lists the car whose VIN you entered there will be a line that states
Vehicle Health Report
Learn More - click this box
Then on the next page it will state
My Service
On the right side it will state Service History
View History - click this box to see the service history
Then it will slowly take you to a page you need to scroll down to see the service history
Each entry will be a line, click on the + at the side to see more about each entry
