I'm glad you got value out of it, thanks for stopping by!! 🤙🤙

You have NO idea how lucky you are! These low mile CT's are selling for more than they were at sticker lol I sold Lexus during the time, can you believe we had trouble selling them? Even with a $7k discount off sticker

Any issues with the hybrid battery after 10 years so far ??

​​@@monirmualla i believe it can vary depending on what climate you live in and where it'll be driving the most will probably play a huge factor in the longevity of the toyota hybrid life battery. Also, depends on the history of pass owners if they have been taking good care of it such as basic maintenance on time, etc. If it has been in an accident I strongly recommend taking a closer look at the vehicle such as a record of its history and maybe have a mechanic look at it before purchase too

Thanks s'much!

I love that color! I wish they made a wrap to color match it

That's awesome! I've been considering buying one again but the market is too hot for them. How's the rental gig for them?

@@gsgcarreviews It’s always gone! Just rented it out to a Toyota Corporate Project Leader while he’s in town visiting Toyota plant.

Much appreciated 🙏

I appreciate it! I've since sold the car and I regret it lol.

The HEMI engine is the size of the CT, lol! I'm so glad you enjoy the switch because I love every bit of this car. I'm surprised people are still tanks around

Way to go! Which gas guzzlers did you get rid of? Haha yeah it's very under powered

I’m on the same time. I’m not poor or in need of money but i got tired of constantly feeling up my gas card every 3 days I do a lot of driving

Appreciate that!

Thanks man! 🤙

Whoa. Never heard that stat before. Thanks

Maybe because it has lower volume? Not sure but that's a good point!

How many miles did it have? How much did you get it for? Any regrets since you bought it?

@@MrMan-fx3ow No regrets! Got it for about 12K at Carmax. Has around 100K on it, but is in great condition. Getting 43mpg in an urban area on the last few fill ups. Needed a cheap commuter for a couple years and its not bad spending a couple hours a day in it.

Now that's a good deal considering what I've seen them sell for! I truly think it's one of the best "overall" cars I've ever had

i am going to buy a 2012 CT , single owner , mint condition, all lexys services records, no accidents, 1,50k kms for 15 grand in canada. Would you recommend it? Any specific things I should look for?

@@savjottoor7910 Go for it! Mine had similar stats when I bought it and its been a great car

Thanks!

Thanks Ji!!

Awesome how're you enjoying it??

Get a 2014+ you'll be fine 🙂

I just bought 41k 2014....egr issues on this year?

My CT's mpg fluctuated often because I'd always get a misfire. The 2zr is a very sensitive engine and I kept chasing the check engine If I drove the speed limit I'd get in the 40s, it'll quickly drop to 30's if I went over 80

The hybrid battery is the best in the industry! It's the same off the Toyota prius and they're known to go up to 500,000 miles. The higher the miles the healthier the hybrid battery (because it's mainly hwy miles where it doesn't use the battery). Yes this car is a dream to drive! It handles tight corners well and saves a lot of gas... if only it was a little bit faster

Overhaul or replace the engine doesn’t exactly encourage me from buying this car. Now I have second thoughts about purchasing one.

Look into a 2014+ and you should be fine. These issues were addressed

Oil consumption is the direct result of not cleaning the EGR (will post a video about that soon). Best years is after 2014 as they fixed most of the inefficiencies. I have a solid mechanic in the LA county if you're nearby

@@gsgcarreviews thanks for the reply. I live 4500km from L.A. so... I don't think it would be possible. Thanks anyway

Literally have the same question! I’m looking at a 2015 and a 2013 but just concerned about it’s longevity

Hehe

Right on brother how are you enjoying it??

i am going to buy a 2012 CT , single owner , mint condition, all lexys services records, no accidents, 1,50k kms for 15 grand in canada. Would you recommend it? Any specific things I should look for?

Yeah I've noticed a massive increase in views since gas prices increased lol

It's a 2012, thanks!!

I'm usually in and out of the car. How you liking your CT?

It'll be the best 3 hours of your life lol. I'd say 👍👍👍

You're a smart man for being proactive! Same here I plan to take this car to half a million miles I'm curious to know where you reside?

What is the recommended interval for dismantling the egr? It did it recently at 170k it was 95 percent clogged. Now the car is with better mpg.

The thing is there's no recommendation. Lexus hasn't acknowledged this to be an issue and isn't in the manuals (from what I know). I'm glad it's running better, reminds me that I should be clean it soon!

What year is your CT200H?

@@gsgcarreviews Oregon

I recommend a transmission fluid change it makes a huge difference

Hahaha it happens

Pretty easy my man. I recommend cleaning the hybrid fan so it doesn't overheat

Really depends on what you're going for. I'd say no IF you have tall passengers, want fast acceleration or if you are buying a 2011/2012/2013 model (check link at the end to find out why). I honestly love this car and I've owned a lot. I put some Michelin Pilot Sport tires and it handles as well as the Porsche 718 Boxster and the Alfa Romeo I drove. But since then my mpg has dropped to an average of 32 mpg. Here's a video where I talk about what I hate about the CT. I want you to check out the comments because it'll help guide you to a decision kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5unnLugl52zYYE.html

I’m looking at a 2011 is it worth the buy?

I owned a Prius in the past 2004 and it just died on me after all these years, I been told the Lexus is great for what I’m looking for especially being a past Prius owner. I just want to know honestly since you own one of these vehicles.

Yes but you're running the risk of buying one with a blown head gasket. I recommend buying a 2014+ because they made the necessary engine adjustments. You'll save more money and hassle in the long run

Thank you really appreciate it!

Yes please! Lol

Thats awesome! How are you enjoying the CT

@@gsgcarreviews i have had the Car for 6 years now and now problems , i only do irregular service . The speed and acceleration is more than adequete. People just dont get this Car . It is a fanstic piece of engineering when all things considered . Keep up the good work

@@retardrobo9427 i am going to buy a 2012 CT , single owner , mint condition, all lexys services records, no accidents, 1,50k kms for 15 grand in canada. Would you recommend it? Any specific things I should look for?

@@savjottoor7910 that, sounds great, I have had to remove the aluminum panel underneath, because the bolts corroded and began to rumble. Other than that no problems.

@@gsgcarreviews i can’t get rid off it. Get value for money

Aerodynamic like a bullet but as potent as a water gun

Definitely a risk!

@@gsgcarreviews why ? Please help me

@@mariogpx2990 all explained here! Main reason is because of the design flaws for the years prior to 2014 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5unnLugl52zYYE.html

Same lol!

2012

It's a toyota prius in disguise

@@gsgcarreviews like a super short back lol

Engine & transmission are the same as in the prius, but the wheelbase is 4” shorter.

👀

The engine is but the exhaust manifold/EGR valve in the 2011-2013 causes all those engine failures. The car is worth every penny though:)

@@gsgcarreviews why only the 2011-2013 models? Isn't all the ct200h designed the same and will give problems if the EGR is not cleaned out?
