I feel you on the seller thing dude. I was just in the same type of headache.
Long story short: Guy wanted to sell his Evo for an ungodly price(severely upside down) . Said take over his payments and pay a little extra on top because he lost his job. I agreed to pay him $2500 to pay the car off and give him plenty extra for the trouble. I got to his house to pick the car up and turns out the motor is blown and the trans is damn near shot as well!!! He still wanted me to hand over the cash and get the car towed because he was set on the money. His reasoning for keeping it a secret; He didn't think anyone would bite if they knew the truth.
A**hole
