I hadn't realized until people commented here that the car is that old; it looked newer, but of course that's just judging a car by its cover. Pennsylvania has laws requiring disclosure of known problems for used cars, but not lemon laws. (Those only apply to new cars.)
Around here sometimes mechanics also do a side business in used-car sales. Some customers probably see it as one-stop shopping: I already trust this mechanic, he can get me a car, score! But it does remove the independent review that buyers should be doing. I didn't find anything about whether this business does that; Google results are about their repairs, and they don't seem to have their own web site.
