CT200H Buyers Advice

CT200H F Sport - 2012 Model

I am looking at buying a CT200h with service history.

It has 55000 miles and is approx £10k.

Is there anything I should look out for..what service items are needed at say £60k miles ?

Hi Nick

 

There is lots of info on this site that will help to answer your questions. I think at 60k it will need new spark plugs as part of that  service. As what to look for I had an issue with wear in a joint in the steering that caused a knocking sound but that was at 120k or there about, so if the car your looking at has only done 55k then that's nothing to worry about  yet. Last week I had to have the heat shield that is above the exhaust system reattached at the front end with a bigger bolt because the shield  corrodes and its was rattling on the exhaust.. the dealer at Chester did that for free and only took minutes.....however my 2013 model has done 149K now. 

I'm not sure about values as prices differ as you know depending on whether  the F-sport is at a dealer or carsupermarket. I think Honest John, Parkers and Autotrader all do a car valuations on their websites which may help. I am sure other members will help with advice on here.

Thank you for the advice. I think the car is worth it at £10k for a 55k mile F Sport with one owner and FLSH.

I agree. I paid a bit more for my 2014 Advance Sport with 58k and full Lexus history last October, as a comparison. Mine is the facelifted version though but the spec is less that the F Sport, so price seems about right. 

Always haggle on price. Find similar models online and then suggest a price match (assuming there are cheaper ones elsewhere). Good luck 😊
