It just seems to me that you are stating the same opinion over and over again, just with a different scenario. We get that you think the dealer will try to tamper with the car.
 
It's not impossible to cut a run-flat at the sidewall, but I'd imagine it is time consuming...at some point, even the worst vandal must be thinking "why am I doing this again"? I mean, it's really a task better suited to Angle Grinder Man.

Anyhow, I think this issue is largely dead...the thought that the dealer would sabotage the car is quite ridiculous.

Not only that, depending on the severity of the damages they would be looking at a fairly large lawsuit.
 
Perhaps a snip to the brake pipes with some pliers/cutters would be more suited?

Ok, guy tries to brake and crashes. What do you think happens then? Totally un-suspicious that a just sold car has faulty brakes. And depending on the pick-up method he could crash in the dealer lot. :ouch:
 
Im sure every motor journal publication naming the specific dealer and the specifics of the event were invaluable for the customer in securing the deal after winning the bid. Fact is 4 to 6 thousand dollars would never be enough to reverse the damage to that dealers reputation, Im sure the dealer owner regrets everything from buying a used gtr as a Honda dealer, listing the car on ebay (allegedly) forgetting a reserve (more likely expected bids to easily beat 55k), and finally denying the sale only to be blasted industry wide. Hopefully they learned the lesson here... Stealerships need to keep their dealings private to avoid being exposed as cut-throat salesmen willing to bait and switch.
