The key is that in Doug's case, both seller and buyer had the same understanding of condition, thus perfectly legal.

With the story told, where the buyer had more information than the seller, but hide the truth to gain profit, then it's a bad thing...(just learned this with the business law 105...)

on tthe other hand, I also agree with the point someone made that it is probably more often that seller failed to disclose on some of the car's existing condition....

This is not a perfect world...
