Hello ladies and gents.I'm seriously considering buying a used ct,i don't really know much about them so i came to the experts to advise me on what to look for and be aware of before purchasing.Mostly i would like to know of issues and problems mechanically first and then you can give your overall opinion on what you think about the car.I'm looking forward to hearing from you and thanks to all for your feedback.

Maintenance records are the best thing to look for. There really don't seem to be any common problems. Since the CT200h is a 3rd generation Prius powertrain, you can also check Prius forums. Had a coworker put 250K on his before he traded it - still running fine.

Thank you for your feedback,i expected more than just one person.The ct crowd is no way the same as when i ask for help in the sc or gx section.

Part of the reason why you're only getting one response so far is because you haven't given us enough time yet to get on here and post. Remember that there aren't that many CT owners compared to any other Lexus model.

Another reason is that this question has been asked many times before on multiple forums, and many of us remember posting some kind of answer at some point in the past, so we don't naturally respond because we think we've done it before. Some Google searching should take care of this.

This question gets asked a few times a month. The make new post button should be enabled after 10 posts. That will cut down the I want to buy a ct, how long do the batteries last, how much does it cost maintain, is it good on gas questions and force the search function to be used.

Less so on here, more rampant in the Facebook groups. That's like a daily question

I like my 2013. Just got it a week ago and I tank average around 43 - 44. They have truly top notch reliability ratings. I think the suspension is tuned a bit on the harsh side considering who buys these cars. Going down or with a 16 inch wheel & 195/55/16 Pirelli P7 plus should help a good amount. This is my plan. The 45 sidewall on the 17's don't do so well for rough road. ​​​
