I would review and consider the following:

1. What exactly does the Purchase and Sale Agreement state wrt curing conditions?
2. Cost to repair vs. Loss and expenses incurred, time you spent and materiality of the issue.
3. If seller is not obligated per the written agreement then from a practical standpoint is it really worth the brain damage and expenses incurred to pass on the deal?
4. As noted by other commentators it comes down to the facts and your risk appetite.
