It could very well be a deception by the owner and if so, I agree with you. On the other side, we don't have any facts at all.
what difference does it make (to quote old what's her name) if it is a manufacturing defect or a defect caused by poor maintenance? a defective unit is defective, period.
and since the first inspection or walk around was the one at the buyers residence, a slapped together fix was obvious at that time.
