opinions wanted; car sales gone bad

so your mechanic that checked it out first is a con artist too ??? very possible ... well , i dont sell cars. but i have watched people lay down cash , get the paperwork done, drive it away without ever having it looked at. then try to sue people 2 months down the road after the thing takes a ****. its a used car with no warrantee... buyer beware. do your homework, take it to someone that knows cars before laying down the cash ..easy
if the seller isnt willing to that .... walk away .. even easier
Again this is true, but not the issue I see. The issue I see is the question of whether or not the car was misrepresented, and like I said, seems to me this may be the case here, from my perspective.

I could be totally wrong. Or not. Still waiting for the OP to answer my question and plead his case...

Why get it inspected if he wasn't selling an "inspected" car?"
