Default Re: People that sell problematic cars and don't disclose?

Sounds like a naive purchaser to me, blowing all his money on his first car with nothing in reserve? Not a good idea. Being his well experience mate you should have given better life advice to him.

When I bought my first car it was $4500, I had a spare $2K just incase and it got used, first service was $650, needed tyres not long after etc etc. With any car you always need some contingency for minor issues.

IMO there is no way of knowing if the seller was pulling a shifty, the seller could have been totally unaware and the problem literally happening 1km after taking it off the concrete. Recently after a 1500km trip I parked my car up for a few weeks, jumped in it, brakes were stuff, failed master cylinder while just sitting there.
