I would have an issue with that far as the dealer was concerned. So the dealer takes it on trade and resells it and passes the issue off on an unsuspecting buyer. That is (in my opinion) not an honest dealer.
The 'pass it on down the line' mantra is what pisses off people that don't know any better. 'Buyer beware should not have to be that.
