It does not matter really if the car is or isn't what you said it was.He was not obligated to trade.If the car was as described and he wasn't serious then yeah he would be a crumb bumb for letting your son drive that far(not saying that was the case...just saying IF) but either way, he looked at it and didn't want it so it was his right to pass on it.I would never agree to a trade sight unseen. I don't care if I had 1000 pics I would want to see it first. jmo Sorry your son went through that.
