Not an F Sport. Yes has Nav and premium sound, sunroof. No leather seats. Only year for atomic silver which I think is beautiful it's like silver with gold metal flake.

Oh, I thought the atomic silver was only on the special edition f sport. Heard it’s beautiful in person. Hard to capture in pictures. So you were around 13% off kbb. That awesome for a loaded car with only 13k! I mean the MSRP on that was at least 38k. Prob purchased or leased for 35k.

Yes it came with window sticker which was $38K+. And yes it was leased. Believe it's a great time to find a CT 200h bargain since they discontinued US sales.

Nope.

Not sure where you got that.

These cars don't have transmissions.

Isaac1208

Think he was just comparing it to transmission rebuild. Basically if the batter ever does have an issue it’s less than a trans. I haven’t heard these having any transmission issues. Toyota’s cvt is pretty rock solid.

They don't have transmission issues -- remember it's the same setup as the 3rd Prius -- they almost never fail. It's not really a transmission -- like one thinks of a traditional or CVT. There are some good videos around. We have many Prius go way over 200k w/o issue. We do the fluid at 100k intervals.

Having bought many CPO cars from Lexus --- can tell you they don't deal as much as other makes. They will drop the CPO ... as they have to pay that to corporate. Most times they wait until someone wants the car to do the certification anyway ... so they have not spend anything getting it ready. Not that 13k mile car is going to need anything.

I extended the lease 6 months and then bought our 15 w/ just around 40k for around 18k last month -- it's a low optioned car. Black/tan

1. Philadelphia, PA
2. 2016 Lexus CPO/F-Sport w/ sunroof, satellite radio, dash screen(no nav) Special Edition
3. $21.8
4. 31k miles

Is this a fair price?

E46CT

As far as fair price. you failed to mention the year. Seeing as its an F sport, i imagine 2014+. I'd say that's a decent price. I got my 2015 F sport w/38k miles for 18k a year ago. wasn't CPO only because it wasn't sold by a Lexus dealer. but the records showed it was serviced at Lexus.

phillymac

Thanks for the reply, its a 2016.

E46CT

ok that's good for a 16 w/ those miles. try to get them down a bit.

phillymac

Thanks again!

E46CT

Keep in mind 2015 is the cutoff where you get no additional features by going 16 or 17. So if you want the best value, go for a 15.

phillymac

I am partial to that special edition atomic silver and crimson/black leather interior. Is that in other years too or just the 2016?

E46CT

the core car itself matured in 2015

2016 saw a new chrome trim on the front bumper. but that's about it, cosmetic wise. and as said maybe a new color i'm not aware of. the special edition i know of.. not sure about the interior.

but you'll pay more, a lot more, cause of the year being 2016 (vs 15) not cause of any colors.

Hi guys,

new to the forums as well.
Based in Europe, planning to buy a 2014-2015 CT. I will have to buy and import one from another EU country because the market in mine is very small.
Since I would have to travel, inspect and buy the car all in one day, I wanted to buy a scan tool first, in order to be able to get some idea about the car status before actually buying it.
So that I could just quickly plug it in during the test drive and see if it has some hidden major faults.

I've searched the forums, but most of the posts concerning were quite old, I am wondering, what type of scan tool / app / software combo would you recommend?

Thanks!
