Can they sell a vehicle with no headlight? Isn't there something in the inspection report that forces him to get it fixed?

Is his verbal agreement binding? Perhaps some of the lawyers here can chime in on that as well.

What recourse do I have? I have thought about going to small claims court or I even have some media connections that may want to do a consumer report on used vehicles that could stick a camera in his face and scare him into saving face for his company. (He is the owner)

The crappy thing in all of this is that he was a great guy to deal with and was up front with everything. He wasn't your greasy salesman type.

Thanks

Like Ironhorse said get anything that is supposed to be done to the car in writing. saves a lot of hassle and bad feelings on both sides.

My only real suggestion would to be sit down with the guy and lay it on the table give him a chance to make it right if he doesn't go after him

BTW we are all greasy salesmen types..lol
