So girls and older folks don't work on cars? Gimme a break...if there's people that naive in the world, I can't imagine them being able to drive a car or truck...anyone without mechanical knowhow looking to buy a used vehicle takes it to their mechanic/garage for an inspection, I see it every week. And if they don't, it's their own fault...what if this truck has some safety-worn front end part that the seller doesn't know about? The buyer takes it home and breaks a tie rod on the way, losing control and injuring someone...is the seller liable? Of course not, it's a used vehicle! It's not that hard to understand.

Get stuck with what? You're basing your argument on the possibility that the engine is gonna break...there's nothing to say that it will or won't...but like the above tie-rod comparison, there's no covering up anything...it has a noise that may sound the same for the next 75,000 miles...it's a used vehicle, people need to take responsibility for their decision to buy a vehicle without a warranty, and they need to take responsibility for not having it thoroughly inspected before buying it.

Thats not what I said.I said KNOWINGLY selling a car that has a fatal problem is low down and Dirty....BOTTOM LINE.There isnt anything left to argue about its wrong.There are problems that can be hidden.Like filling the crankcase with lucas or some other crap to quiet it down.The buyer would be unaware.And since it was done onpurpose it is wrong.If you sold a car and something you didnt know about broke.There is no way it is your fault.I sell cars and I have a damn good rep.I can smell the bad cars and trucks at auctions.There always the dealers who carry a bad name.And it doesnt bother them.
