Vinny Gambini lists his 1964 Buick Skylark for sale in Craiglist. Vinny says in his Craiglist post that the Skylark is in excellent driving condition, has been serviced regularly, and recently passed a 100 point safety and full mechanical inspection including a check of the transmission and differential. Billy is interested in buying the Skylark and asks Vinny if he can take it for a test drive. Vinny agrees. While Billy has the Skylark on the test drive, he takes the car to his cousin, Mona Lisa Vito, who is an expert auto mechanic. Billy asks Mona Lisa to give the car a thorough mechanical inspection. After two hours, Mona tells Billy the car is in very good condition and worth the asking pricer Billy drives back to Vinny and purchases the Skylark for $8000. Two weeks after Billy bought the car, the transmission fell out and the differential failed causing the Skylark to vibrate and make loud clunking noises. A mechanic says by looking at the condition of the transmission and differential, it appeared the tranmission and differential had been damaged in a auto collision and the damage probably occurred within the last six months. The mechanic also told Billy that the Sklylark could not have passed a 100 point full safety and mechanical inspection given the condition of the transmission and differential. Billy seeks to rescind the sale citing misrepresentation by Vinny. Does Vinny have any defenses to Billy's claim of misrepresentation given the condition of the Skylark? Why or why not?
