Depends on the state law. Some states have MANDATORY cooling off laws that allow up to 72 hrs for someone to return the car. Some don't, and it is "as is" time.

Check with your DMV before you "take the car back!"

Otherwise, it IS his problem unless you voluntarily take the car back.

Items 3-4-5 are dinky stuff. I would think 1 and 2 are where the money is. While you probably have no legal necessity to say anything but "too bad" to the purchaser, you have to sleep at night, and so does he.
If it were my car, I would see if I could negotiate some kind of amicable price reduction based on a share of the cost of fixing the RMS and the strut.
Sounds like the car is substantially as represented, in spite of having a few problems.

On a private sale? I doubt it.

Depends on the state law. I don't profess to know all 50 state DMV laws, do you?

That is why I suggested he check HIS state laws.

Just the facts ma'm.
