I am buying a 2013 Corolla with a 1.8 L with a automatic transmission. It has 113,000 miles. It has two codes when scanned. A starting malfunction code and a C1422 Master cylinder pressure zero code. Is this anything to worry about? Or is something that’ll stop me from buying. Let me know thanks!
Master cylinders aren’t too expensive and relatively easy to change. It wouldn’t stop me for the right price.
You can get a new one for around $100 on rock auto(a place I’d like to see Scotty hype up). But whoever you’re buying it from must think it’s a big job or they would have done it. See if they’ll come down $1,000.
But I think this is the worst time in history to buy a used car. If you can hold off until prices come back down do that.
It’s $1500 below budget and i know the master cylinders aren’t too bad.
the master cylinder is what lets you brake. Yeah I'd say that's pretty important.
I was looking for more of a repair recommendation or a repair cost. Not the sass Joe 😂
What sass?
The brakes don't work. Don't buy it! {black}:crazy:
The brakes worked well, that’s not particularly the problem. The brakes weren’t spongy. The master cylinder wasn’t low either and no leaks.
alright. Good luck.
Thanks for the response though! Much appreciated. I’ll keep my options open.
It would certainly stop me from buying it.
I would pass on this car.
Is it something that you can fix, yes. Why would you even want to have to deal with it? There are other vehicles out there. Just walk away.
If you want to buy a Corolla it's a very common car and you can definitely find good ones out there. Pass on a car that you already know has problems.
That’s a good point. The problem at hand seems to be a common problem as well from my research.

This video will be helpful in finding good/bad years of both civic and corolla.
Wouldn’t be something that could be fixed?
I'm confused ... were you shopping for a car, or a problem?
I would not buy it. That generation of Corolla was just not as good as the other generations from quality, reliability, and driving experience. I just flat out hate that generation. I would look into a 9th or 11th gen Corolla
