Im planning on buying a used car soon. Can an ultra gauge (preferebly) or similiar obII reader determine if any codes have ever been sent, vehicle history so to speak? I would hate to buy a car with a problem that a code reader could easily alert me to. Any tips on buying a used car and error codes would be most appreciated. thanks friends!
