Again, I think the dealer should be the one to take on that responsibility.
You NEVER sell a used car and represent is as "issue free". A used car is sold As-Is, and a buyer who doesn't understand that does so at his own peril. Get it off your chest and tell the buyer that 30,000 miles ago it ran for twenty miles with tranny fluid in the crankcase and it seemed fine after that if it lets you sleep at night I guess.

Again, all of this paranoia is based on a feeling that something is wrong with the car now. Zero evidence anything is actually wrong with the car. Feelings don't depreciate cars. Damage depreciates cars. Get back to me when they find any.
