Dear Scotty,

Thank you for your wonderful videos.

Should I consider buying a 2016 Toyota Camry 2.5 liter 4 cylinder at 50,000 miles with the following Pre-purchase mechanical inspection findings (done by my mechanic) from an used car dealer lot? Happy New Year and thanks a million for your help.

The carfax report showed 2 frontal impact accidents 2 years ago, but was subsequent fixed. Road tests was okay. The engine oil was changed regularly.

The Pre-purchase mechanical inspection showed the following findings:

The battery failed the load & performance tests

The transmission fluid is dirty

However, the high level scan tool detected the following historical trouble codes:

Antilock Brakes current code:

C1441 brake booster malfunction

C1331 Open circuit in Left Front Wheel sensor

Engine history codes:

P1604 start ability malfunction

Transmission History codes:

P1604 start ability malfunction

 

Airbag History codes:

B1650 Occupant Classification System malfunction

B1656 Seat Belt Buckle switch (left)

B1821 Open in side squib (right) circuit

B1826 Open in side squib (left) circuit

B1856 Open in rear squib (left) circuit

Body Control Module History Codes

U0101 Lost Communication with TCM

U0151Lost Communications with Restraint Control Module

Heating & Air Conditioning Module - HVAC History Code

U0100 Communication Malfunction (Engine ECU)

if I buy this car, how much potential repairs will I be looking at due to the trouble codes obtained from the scan tool? Are these serious issues?

Thanks for your expertise sorry for the trouble.
