Walk away.

Simple process is you make offer, they accept offer, you put down deposit pending a good inspection, inspection is scheduled, if issues you either back out or a new round of negotiation happens.

Them evading the inspection says to me one thing, they know something bad, which an inspection will find. Black mold, powder post beetles, structural deficiences, code violations, ect.

There is always another home that you will also like, id move one, and get a lawyer to get your deposit back
