This happened to me once. The guy asked for an extra $20,000 on the side (that his wife couldn't know about) after we had already worked out the deal. I paid the extra money because the car was a once in a lifetime find.

With so many questions regarding the engine I wouldn't be so quick to agree to his ever-increasing prices.
