Hi, my name is Jae and my wife is interested in CT...I just got few questions for you guys.

There is a great leasing deal for this car in my area (Virginia). about $260/month... My question is, can you negotiate this price even though it is a special deal/promotions?

I know this car is getting discontinued but how is the reliability on this? I know this is kinda stupid (Lexus!) but I just don't see these cars around my area.

Never had an experience with Lexus purchase so... Is it hard to deal with lexus dealers? I heard their attitude is usually, take it or leave, I'm just hoping this is not true for CT since It's not a volume seller like RX.

Has anyone leased this car recently? I would love to get some info.

Does it have a soul? I know it's lexus hybrid and but it does look sporty and sits pretty low with bigger rims than traditional ugly looking things. I really don't care about big engines as long as the car is well balanced.

Thank you.

I actually saw the car yesterday, it's a very good commute car. Many people report 45 mpg.
Got a quote of $415 out the door on 36 months lease with 75k per year, included the $4000 discount from Lexus promotion May 2017
Trying to get it down to $335 per month out the door, let's see if they accept my offer.

Too high or too low?
thanks

Don't expect to come onto a CT 200 site and have people say it's a horrible car lol. Many like me will say they love it lol!!! I have 4 cars, each with it's specific purpose. I love to stack the miles on with my Lexus as a commuter. 1000 mile road trips can be done with less than $50 in fuel. I have personally sat in the car for 9 hours on one tank of fuel, 500 miles. Some of it was traffic, still managed to get 50+ mpg.

With that in mind, the lease deal is pretty strong considering a comparable Prius is more expensive. But CT is based on last generation Prius. I'd never own a Prius but will own a Lexus.

Based on my research, the 2017 models production was stopped and getting ready for 2018
This is probably why Lexus giving away $4000 to people to lease.
I am going to lease then use the buy option to own the car.
The residual value is 49% after 3 years, set by the bank, told to me by the sale.
Going to pull the trigger this Memorial weekend May 29, 2017

Actually the CT is now dead. 2017 will be the last year of production in the US. It will keep going in other markets.

Thanks, I I will stop the CT200h search, I need a daily Lexus commuter car that can go 40MPG, any suggestion?

If you're talking new, you only have 2 options at 40 MPG: either a new 2017 CT, or maybe a new 2016 if anyone has any, or an ES hybrid, which gets just about 40 combined, compared to the 42 combined rating for the CT.
