I don't mean to sound shrewd, but that's not your problem. I bought a used Explorer a year ago and realized that it needed a new transmission shortly thereafter. I had no legal right to run back to the seller and request my money back, so I just chalked it up to a very expensive lesson and sold it for $2000 less than I paid for it (with disclosure, of course).
Same for this guy -- he has two choices now: pay the $5k in repairs, or sell it and likely lose money as I did. You weren't aware the problems existed, you completed the deal and the transaction, so that's his problem; not yours. Go cash your check and buy your new car, and don't worry about his problems.
