there are a couple of cars with similar mileage being sold on Autotrader. One in Ontario with 148k kms for 25k dollars (2013) and another (2011) in Quebec with 143k kms for 15k dollars. Keep in mind that BC vehicles are favored because of our mild weather and lack of salt. We're like the California of Canada when it comes to car seekers, so our prices will be higher.

Thanks for the info! I really, really don't want to sell my car but it is nice to know that some are listed for a decent amount. ...maybe I will try listing it for more than it's worth and see if anyone bites... like they always say, the best time to sell is when you're not desperate to sell!

No prob. Also, CT's are relatively rare, so that helps too. When we were looking for ours in December, there were only two in all of BC for sale.

A recent price check showed my car is worth around $25k USD if it had 10k miles. At 200k miles it was worth about $11k USD.

210k???? In 2 years? That's crazy man

Bought mine with 100'000km and I am now hitting 155'000km. Nothing to report

When did you do things like the coolant and transmission fluid?

Did you replace brakes and rotors?

Just hitting 110k on my 2011 CT. Have done all maintenance per Lexus schedule and have never needed any other service, other than tires, wipers, and fluids. My car has never seen a repair shop or dealer after the initial free maintenance services. Replaced tires for the second time at about 100k. Still running original brakes. 43.3 overall MPG over life. All in all, the most reliable, easiest to maintain car I've ever owned.

Shouldn't the CT last as long as a Prius? I read where the Prius last 200k to 300k miles. Even read about a taxi with 600k miles.

This is a very, very late reply. I guess this thread must have been pushed down a bit and I lost track of it.

I replace both coolants at factory mileage intervals. One is to be replaced at 50k, the other at 100k. Both are to be replaced every 50k after initial change. I've been doing that but now am switching to 100k intervals for both since I put so little wear and tear on my CT due to constant 60mph highway cruising. This was recommended by my mechanic after looking at the coolants.

Transmission fluid was changed around 46k miles, then again at 103k, and again at 186k. I am switching to doing this at every 100k, starting at 300k miles, again because of the less wear and tear my car sees.

Brakes have not been touched. They still have plenty of life left.

Hello everyone,

My Lexus CT200h 2013 recently started making a knocking sound from the engine and it shakes a lot cleaned the EGR pipes but it had nothing to do with that. Also the exhaust takes white smoke out that smells like fuel.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this before or similar problem. The car has 203000 miles by the way. Thank you in advance.

Engine heat gasket is blown, you did the EGR thing too late

stelios132

can I ask how much will this damage cost me and if it’s fixable?

Trexus

It is fixable and can cost around $3K - $5K to repair. I would have it diagnosed first to confirm what is the problem.

TobiasSing

yeah unfortunately the repair is very costly, and sometimes just replacing the whole engine is cheaper.

I would vote high quality used engine replacement. A repair is only as good as the person doing the repair.

While the replacement is out, have the mechanic do the EGR service on the used engine

At 200k miles though, sure the engine could've ran longer, but honestly it served out a full life. 3k for a replacement isn't bad money spent if it lasts the same mileage.
