Hey everyone, I'm looking at a used '13 ESh and a used '14 CTh. The ESh is a "ultra luxury with nav and mark levinson. The CTh is a F Sport. They are about the same price and ESh has 10k more miles....please help me with this decision!!!!

Unless the difference in mpg sways you, I would go for the ES300h, more room and more power.

ESh no brainer..

Definitely ES300H. CT does not even feel like a luxury car - no real leather option, tiny NAV screen, slower that a Prius (even the "F Sport" one).

As for the difference in MPG it is negligible in this range (50 mpg vs 40 mpg saves you the same amount of money as 15 mpg vs 14 mpg).

I was thinking in this general way when posting but don't know anything as to the possible issues the ESh is having as i can find near nil on the CTh. I headed to the dealer to look at the vehicles this afternoon.

I am not aware of any issues other than a stinky AC system and even that does not happen most of the time. See other post on the stinky AC. Happens a lot to many cars these days.

The ES and CT are entirely different cars with a different target market. You really need to drive both and take a close look at which best fits your needs. With that said, the ES fits our needs the best and is a terrific car. We test drove a CT and it was just way too small and noisy for our needs.

the esh must be pretty cheap or that ct is way overpriced. last tome i checked, 10k mileage wasnt enuf to put them close

The ESh is a '13 with 50k miles. Price is 24k w/ ultra luxury package.

That is less than half of the MSRP when it was new and it is only 4 years old. If the tires have been replaced and the body and interior are in good shape, clear carfax, etc, I think it is a decent deal.

yeah picking ESh itself i can understand the debate and considerations of all the factors but between CT and ESh esp around the same price, it should be a no brainer.

Well everyone, I am at the dealer finalizing paperwork on my new ESh!!! Pics to follow (Prob here and in a new thread). Thanks for y'alls input!
