TLDR: my opinion is seller is dishonest, car is very sub-par, worth low to mid 20s.
I read thru the thread.

So the PPI does an incomplete job on the leakdown, doesn't look like it included a test drive but finds a laundry list of nits. Based on that, you demanded a $15K discount and the seller rejected your offer.

Other than the leakdown question, the car is already driver quality now. The interior looks good, better than driver quality. Take those newish vinyl seats that you didn't like, they can cost a bundle if you have them reupholstered at a shop. The paint looks fine from the pics. Rust free, pretty good for a FL car. The wheels look great.

If the car doesn't need the rebuild, asking for a $15K discount for the other issues is not reasonable and perhaps the seller reacted badly to you. And now you are making an outright claim the seller is dishonest even after others have advised you of the PPI flaws in that thread. I think it's time to move on.
