Would you buy a '06 with a p2096 code?
So it seems like we finally found a good replacement for our mini that was totalled last July now that we're on the east coast but it has a p2096 code. The guy said he's replaced the o2 sensor and just hasn't had the chance to get the code cleared.
It has about 80k miles on it. What are your thoughts?

What state are you in?
Kinda makes a difference....some let you pass with one item not ready, etc...
I would consider the fact that the o2 sensor might not be the cause...
Often a bad gasket on an exhaust, or cracked header pipe, etc is why there is a code....work it into the price...

Maybe. But a code reader from AutoZone is only around $60, which will also clear codes, and you'd think a seller would do so before making promises on finished repairs. Also, it's good tool to have around.
That's the hard part...it needs a pro level tool...or this..

Even program new keys if you have the patience to learn how.

I've had a P2096 since installing exhaust. I'm sure it's a leak somewhere but haven't had a chance to really track down. I'm really use to driving it with that light on.
If it works for you, I'd talk him down. You may still fall under an O2 warranty and the dealer may take care of it.

Sure...sometimes a cheap aftermarket o2 sensor can cause it...but it's a different issue in most cases.
