I tell him lets go back to his office I want to talk to the sales manager. SM comes in and straight away starts making excuses. I tell him if I buy it I want the OE exhaust installed. He refuses. Says that passed Va inspection. I said no it shouldn't - your guy completely missed the wipers. I say I know what's required because I'm a state inspector (show him my license). Not bugding.

Certainly gives the appearance that they are not being forthcoming with you.
My interpretation was that the car was inspected and passed. Maybe it should not have passed, but it passed. Was it inspected by a third party? And did the salesman lie to him? You imply that the salesman knew it either did not pass or should not have passed. I don't read the original post that way....maybe I missed it somewhere?
