I'm confident he knew, as he was careful with his choice of words. He also didn't want to deal with me at first because I was long distance, until he couldn't get the car sold locally. At least he sent me pics of the bad stuff after being pressed for it. I don't think he would have liked me very much if I had flown down there and found the stuff in the pics and not been told about it. He is obviously hustling cars, but I don't care about that. I just don't want to get jerked around or screwed if I can prevent it.

Biggist problem I am running into is that when the car is long distance(as most are), they sell quickly if they are in decent shape. The ones that are a pos seem to hang around and I don't want a pos. This is quite difficult to find a nice, clean car at a fair price(or just about any price for that matter) where the seller will work with me to make a deal long distance.
