2001 camry

[Zain]

okey i looked around for a topic but cudnt find it thats why i am posting a new one
i am sorry if its a repeat. mods may delete it after i get a few suggestion


okey i have a 97 corolla dx
ive been looking for another car and came across this 2001 camry le with 67k miles original
irs a blueish green kind of color not my fav but i dnt mind if its a good car
now one thing i noticed the transmission fluid color was dark yellowish, i tought they are red but it wasnt red for sure
also the check engine light was on and he said tht there was a rust near catalytic converter and the mechanic just used i pipe or something to fill that space. i mean replaced it with a regular pipe.

also the passenger side window motor wasnt powerful enough to lift the window back in one press

umm other than that there was nothing major that i found with the car,
i am just concerned about the color of brake fluid and that thing with catalytic converter.

Worried about brake fluid or transmission fluid? There's usually a flex pipe which I think is just before the cat. Is that what was replaced with regular pipe? I would want to know why it had a check engine light as well. Might be worth having a mechanic check the thing out.

i am worried about the transmission fluid
which i thought should be reddish but it was not

and he said the check engine light was on due to O2 sensor that's what he said
ill still check it out by a mechanic

does 2001 camry LE comes with abs braking?

If you're describing that the ATF looks like dirty brake fluid, the transmission fluid is due for a change. Also, it is a 4cly or a V6? either way, a catalytic converter must be re-installed.

ABS was optional on the 4-CLY but standard on the V6.

Carfax won't tell much of a vehicles condition. But if the owner replaced the catalytic converter with a straight pipe, who know what else he done to the car.
