I'm searching for answers, and I hope that I have some recourse in my unique situation.My daughter purchased a 1986 BMW with a lot of miles on the odometer.Prior to my daughter purchasing the vehicle I insisted that she have the owner get the car inspected prior to purchacing the vehicle.The owner insisted that an inspection was not necessary because the vehicle had been inspected in the recent past.He also mentioned that although he was currently a realestate agent, he was an auto mechanic in the past and was certain that the vehicle would pass inspection. My daugter and wife trusted his input and He accepted a check for the car and asked my wife and daughter to keep three hudred until the inspection was completed. He mentioned confidently that we would be returning the $300.00 once the inspection was complete.Well it turns out that the car has several things wrong with it and will not pass inspection without putting $2,100.00 into the car. This is $300.00 less than what my daughter paid for the car. Is this going to be just a hard lesson learned or is their a way out of this. Would my daughter have any chance in court.

BMW'S are nice cars & we always want to trust people...We need to CYA ( Cover Your A**)..Doesn't matter who heard the discussion, nothing in writing, car sold as-is**************BOTTOM LINE!
