Problems with your CT's? Education req'd
And... TSB's are still valid no matter what branding a vehicle has.
What's the point when all the kink's are worked out and if I really want to fix an annoyance I'll bite the bullet and buy a new car.
Not to mention these are simple, it's prius and those have been around since the early 00's...
Not too worried. My current [145k mi] 01 ES is a rebuilt, my dad's [90k mi] 04 RX is a rebuilt and this one will be too. Had other makes that were rebuilt with no big issues.

^Plus, most luxury/high end cars get "total loss" for items that don't affect the function of the vehicle. Take the S2000, for example, people steal seats out of those all the time. Even if they take one seat it's a total loss. I'd take one of those "rebuilt" (because they put in a seat and a new top) any day of the week for a significant price reduction. I can't imagine how many simple things are on the CT that would push it into "total loss" territory without touching the body/powerplant/suspension. I say go for it if you find a GREAT deal.
Back on topic, though. That latch thing was an issue with ours when we bought it. The dealer replaced it before we took delivery at no cost so keep an eye out for that. There's nothing else to add about this car, really, except we plan on keeping it for a loooong time. The short time it's been in service for us it has been awesome and has performed exactly as expected.

I can't post the pic, but basically the 'body' aspect is two headlights, new rad, hose, new rad support, hood and it'll be good.
The PO smoked an SUV/truck at low speeds and literally just nudged the front end enough to trigger the finicky sensors [Lexus is putting in more and more of these in their cars last few years] so it was written off, not due to 'actual' damage, but those damn airbags... one knee airbag is 1000$

The CT desperately needs some kind of front lower lip that is not body colored. My CT can't make it up the In-Laws' driveway, so I have to park it on the curb. I remember scraping up my front lower bumper even before I got my plates trying to go up that driveway. Also rashed up the front lower corner pretty badly somehow...
