What the Lexus CT sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the CT, latest tested year 2017:
The label also prints an estimated $1,500 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 210 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the CT under Compact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the CT's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2011 to 2017. Worth checking before you compare a CT sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used CT sells for now
The label froze the CT price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the CT by model year, from 53 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 14 listings | |
| 2014 | 12 listings | |
| 2013 | 10 listings | |
| 2012 | 8 listings | |
| 2011 | 9 listings |
A 2017 CT asks a median $17,800 today, a 2011 about $7,500. Full breakdown on the Lexus CT value page.

Where to find the VIN on a Lexus CT
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every CT, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Lexus CT all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Lexus CT whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
