That's too bad. I guess your son doesn't watch very many Judge Joe Brown or Judge Judy shows....the burden is on the buyer to get a used vehicle checked out by a mechanic and used vehicle private sales are as-is. I guess I don't really see how this is a Craiglist issue...same thing could happen with a newspaper ad, right?
