Sounds like previous owners poor maintenence is coming back to bite you in the ass. It happens, not trying to be a douche. I made the mistake of buying a car out of impulse. Car jumped timing within 10miles of driving. Went through and checked things out, just to find shotty work done by a previous owner. Stuff like this happens, it sucks, but it does. You get what you pay for, sometimes you get a whole lot less. Sounds to me like twack isn't much to blame (this an outside view, not involved so it's just an assumption). He just sounds like a guy that pointed out a car for sale, and is getting a bad wrap because of some other guys bad work and shady dealings.
