The agent is entrusted and does not guarantee unless he is negligent or exceeds his authority. If he was not negligent in inspecting the car and shipping it, it is not permissible to hold him liable for anything, unless he willingly agrees to it. However, if his negligence is proven, he guarantees the resulting damage. It is not permissible to hold him liable for hypothetical profits on the amount.
