opinions wanted; car sales gone bad

How does a buyer miss bald tires and BLOWN struts...did he test drive it? Sounds like he didnt quite know what he was buying, and I wouldnt trust a seller about the car history anyway.." Yeah, its got a salvage title, It was wrapped around a telephone pole and I welded another front clip on with my 110V mig and got the rest of the drivetrain from a flooded wreck...." They wont tell you this.....Buyer beware.
