Lexus CT 200H

Ziggyj30

Anyone ever had any issues with these?
Was looking at a nice blue 2012 one there with relatively high mileage, not sure how the high mileage would impact on the hybrid system in terms of wear and tear etc

They are not a huge deal different to the IS300h you have or had other than being smaller.

I wouldn't be too mad on those colour/fabric seats, you can also see near door side of drivers seat is beginning to deform.

Lovely colour combination. I wouldn't worry about mileage if it has full service history. I guess belt should have been done (assuming it has one!).
Have you driven one? Suspension is quite firm and boot is small.

Wouldn't consider that high mileage at all, 7 year old car with less than 10k miles a year on it. As mentioned, once it has service history and proof of any maintenance done (there's no belt on these it's a chain with no specified life expectancy) you should be fine. Get a mechanic to check it over if you've any concerns.

Sorry to drag off topic, but how did you get on with the sale of the 300h? I remember there being complications with selling it due to possible damage.

I ended up negotiating with the dealer to sell it on my behalf and got a good price for it in the end. Cheers for all the advice here on it.

@Atlantic Dawn - When you say near door of driver seat is beginning to deform what do you mean?

@Blackbox - i have driven one yeah I think they are a lovely car. i like the blue as well.

The seat bolster is squishing. That’s what’s deforming.
Very common on Lexus unfortunately.

Those cream alcantara seats are horrendous looking at the best of times and wear very badly.
