That's HIS fault. They can argue all they want that you are not selling the car, but the simple fact is the car wasn't fully HIS to have inspected!
Who the hell inspects a car for problems AFTER they buy it?
That's kinda bass-ackwards, doncha think? You're supposed to get a used car inspected by a mechanic before you pay anymore than a fully-refundable deposit (which many people will require before they let you drive off with it to get inspected) down on it.
If you go to a bank to get a loan for a used car, the first question they're likely to ask you is "Have you had a Mechanic take a look at it yet?"
