opinions wanted; car sales gone bad

as long as your sellers report says "as-is" your golden. in my opinion it is up to the buyer to look over the car. the seller is motivated to sell and is not going to trash talk the car he is trying to sell. sounds like you told the guys what it needed and he didnt do it and now he wants to pass it off on you. i would tell him that he is welcome to give you the car back but you will need 29.99 for every day he had it as a rental fee. what the hell do you expect for $1200?
