That is pretty profound. On the one hand, I could see the guy thinking that "I'm sure not going to have that problem" so he is quite surprised. On the other hand, I could also see him being upset, and thinking that he bought someone else's problems. Which he kinda did - that is what we do when we buy a used, out-of-warranty, car.
I mean, my 2200 mile ride home from Arizona in my car was uneventful, but had I had trouble, I'd not even have called the seller.
And I didn't call the seller when, three weeks after buying it, the ignition locked up and I had to be towed home on a flat bed.
My only advice is: Don't take advice from me, a guy who was married for less than four months to a crazy woman!
