FREE Buyer Beware: 2013 200 in Memphis TN, I would not buy

I know the previous owner of this vehicle, comes from a family full of LC fanatics.

After having windshield replaced, it leaked. Multiple dealers weren't able to fix the electrical problems that resulted. He turned it in, (maybe traded it, not sure) the Toyota dealer sent to auction and now at this place I guess. According to Toyota.com dealer service history, it doesnt look like it was resolved. Notes "all warning lights on" and "found corrosion on wiring harness". Unless its been sorted since then, Id stay away. Id buy a 200 with 4 previous accidents before Id buy one with these kinds of electrical issues.

On a side note, I seem to have heard of multiple 200s that have had their windshields replaced and they have leaked and caused electrical problems. If you have to get your windshield replaced, we need to figure out a way to make sure they know what they are doing.

This happened to my 2011 which is now totaled. I wrote a post about it. Watch out for any 200 with non OEM windshields. Good heads up

just read that story. My goodness what a mess that was.

Mess is a good way to describe it. I have now heard of a few of these cases. Seems like a HUGE design oversight, that a windshield replacement gone wrong can destroy an 80k vehicle. Who knew?

I've had dealings with the guy that owns that dealership. He knew I was driving half a day to look at a car he was selling, and when I arrived there were several issues that were not mentioned. Not deal breakers, but things I specifically asked about. He was out for the day, when I confronted him about it he says "just forget it then". In the end, he made it right but not the experience you want when driving half a day to look at something.

Car business is tough. That thing looks great and probably passed the post sale inspection at the auction. Hope it turns out well for someone because it will be bought soon. Hope the guy sells them an extended warranty.

Wow, had no idea about this. I have 181K miles on my '08 LC and still has the original, albeit a bit pitted, windshield. Barring any cracks, I think I will just put up with it. Yikes. On the other hand, I have replaced all the normal stuff, radiator, starter, clock spring, etc. What a great and wonderful beast this has been. Arizona car since its birth has helped. Not a speck of rust anywhere.....ANYWHERE. Undercarriage bolts are still good as new. But I digress.....
