Thanks for the opinions guys. I know the car can be a bit thirsty although I am a calm driver so I believe I will be able to achieve a wallet friendly MPG. 1 US Gallon of gas costs 5.2$ here. Not cheap, but bearable.

As for the errors:
Thermal oil-level sensor defect - easy peasy, I'm planning a full Oil change after purchase anyway (5w50).
8B/44 - Output thermostat - I'm not sure about that one, is there a way I can check if the PO went with 88C thermostat?
There is also one thing that makes me wonder, in the engine bay there are two hoses going from the radiator (I think) to somewhere... What do you guys think that is? A oil cooling? Engine cooling overhaul?
