That is the way it is supposed to work. Unless the seller actively concealed something (and your story is close), then it is part of the purchase of a used car -- at least from a private seller.

Geez. I had a better trip from Port Charlotte to Charlotte Michigan in the $550 W116. Spent the night in northern Georgia, found a low tire the next morning, blew it up before I left the motel, then when I got out of Chattanooga traffic I noticed a vibration in the rear. Turned out to be a dead shock absorber, which the seller masked by running 20psi in the right rear. That was my only mishap though (unless almost looping it in the rain when it downshifted into first in a low speed corner counts as a mishap). And IIRC he told me it needed shocks before I left Michigan. When I drove the S210 home from MA, it lost a lot of air in the left front overnight in Ohio. That leak turned out to be a cracked rim. And no, I never told the seller about it, even though he'd almost surely been airing it up daily and failed to mention it to me. I just bought another rim on eBay for $55 and went on with my life.
