Hey scotty I just bought a white 06 toyota avalon with 88k miles from the original owner here in Florida for 5k did I get a good deal or spent too much? The title for the car said 16 miles so I think it's believable mileage.The paint looks sun damage and the rims have definitely seen a ton of curbs over its life The car has only 3 codes, p0441 p0455 p0456 also traction light on and VSC. Any thoughts? Also he gave it to me with a full take of gas WOW
The evap system has problems. Could be anything from a loose or faulty gas cap to a more serious issue.

Apparently problems in evap can cause the traction control and VSC issues on that car (see below). If that's not the cause a professional grade scan tool will likely be needed to diagnose it.

Hopefully, your mechanic checked our the car before purchase. If not, make sure you get a thorough inspection of the car.
The mileage is very low for the age.
A 16 year old car with 88K miles? I seriously doubt it. Sounds like a dealer roll back.
No.
