I totally agree. The car should have been seen and inspected beforehand, before a purchase was made. Granted, he knew the guy, but that is being too trusting, unfortunately.

On the part of the dealer, however, that is just unsatisfactory, especially in the event that the two knew each other for some time. Although the buyer should be responsible for the purchase that is made, the dealer's actions in this case are very selfish and unprofessional.
