Wow...I just read the entire thread. I can't believe the seller didn't know some of the things were wrong with this car before he sold it. I have bought and sold more cars than I can remember. When I sell a car, I start off with the "bads" of the car. Meaning, I tell the new buyer what the imperfections of the car are. I don't want him coming back to me saying I screwed him. I then tell him the goods. The bad thing is that the car is bought "as is" and sometimes buyers get the bad end of the deal. Case in point: I drove across state lines and drove a blown 95GTS. The car drive fine at the time. I paid cash. Drove 3 hours (with my wife in the car so no I didn't "get on it") and the motor went south in my buddie's performance shop. We tore it apart and found many things wrong with it to include none of the port work as promised (up/low intakes, heads, etc...). Now the guy did send me a little cash for the port work that was claimed to be done, but it was minimal. And his creditability was blown to shit then. That car ended up costing me thousands to get right...hell, the supercharger blew up next, and other things went. I ended up selling the car before I went to Japan because I couldn't deal with it. I learned a big lesson. Don't trust anyone and if you don't know a whole lot about a motor (like me), to get it checked out first. A couple of hundred dollars taking it to a reputable shop would of saved me thousands.
My integrity means a lot to me. I do think the seller owes it to the buyer to help try and resolve this. Once you lose your integrity, it can take a lifetime to get it back. I don't know if he knew about the crack, but come on...some of that other stuff he would of known about. Even me being stupid on some of this stuff would of known.
