Thanks, MSAGRO! I thought so, too. I absolutely love the color and have had so many complimentary comments about it! I looked at about 6 CTs before I decided to get this one. USB was a hard color to find and all the others that were the same color and comparably equipped were at least $21-25k. Granted they were probably in much better condition, but I also saved at least $3,500 which I'm not complaining about!
Yours looked exactly like mine aside from the LaminX yellow fogs. Beautiful GSh, too. I love unusual colors.

2014 F-Sport
Picked up this 2014 F-Sport with 26K, L-Certified for $19.995 plus Tax,Title & NYS Registration in late December. It was a replacement for my 2013 VW Passat TDI which was bought back by VW due to the emissions scandal. Bought winter wheels/tires from Tire Rack, and the TPMS reset tool from Amazon. I commute 80+ miles a day in Central NY where we get 100+ inches of snow a year. With the Michelin X-Ice tires I've had no issues. Love this car and 42 MPG! Attachment 403577

Some shopping tips for those looking at CTs:
Some substantial differences in years:
2014+ :
Aside from the obvious exterior facelift, the engine in this car gets revised intake manifold design. Earlier models are prone to headgasket failure to an inferior/older intake manifold design--but generally at higher mileage.
2015+ (built after 9/14--check the door jamb sticker):
These models get reinforced A pillars, front crash beam, door structures, and modified front rail for front crash protection.
All in all, the 2015 model is the one to go for. Earlier models should still be just fine, except for risk of high mileage engine failure and reduced crash protection involving the front corner/edge of the car (someone veering into you head on).

Picked up a 2012 non-navigation CT200h with 46k miles for $10.5k + taxes. This is a replacement for my HS250h, which was sadly totaled after a driver ran a stop sign and t-boned the car. So far love the CT but dislike the HKS exhaust and HKS coilovers that were installed by the previous owner.

If you like the slightly lowered look you can get some F Sport springs (you need to purchase springs may as well get Lexus ones) and yeah get the stock muffler back.
