Post the screenshot. If he advertised it as such, and it is not (depending on the wording of the ad) you MAY be able to recover something. As said before though, probably not going to be a huge recovery unless you can bully him in to workIng with you.

That is basically what I was thinking.


OP, Have you checked out the rest of the car to see if anything else is mis-represented?

 

Just reinspected the car to see if I missed anything. He said the car came with a 6 disc CD changer. I haven't gotten the disc cartridge to eject from it. Partially my fault for not checking that out before buying the car but it's there, just doesn't work. I also noticed that my radiator cap doesn't say Mugen on it and that ad says it comes with a Mugen radiator cap. Doubt there is a way for me to check if my transmission is actually from a AP2. I checked everything but the bumpsteer kit. It's too dark for that right now. Everything seems fine. I also believe I found the kid's home phone number from the invoice of repair work he gave me. The invoices he game me only add up to $3000 but in the ad, he said over $4000 in maintenance. The biggest thing I'm holding grudge for is the hardtop.

So two things: hardtop, radiator cap

 

Welcome to buying a used car from a private seller.

And who gives a fuck about a Mugen radiator cap? Come on man, start using your brain. It's a $40 part.

 

Caveat emptor!! Buyer beware!!!!!!!!!

There's nothing you can do...This baby is yours next time before you fork over some money, or sign a "as is bill of sale" get it inspected, looked over etc etc.

 

Virginia is a buyers beware state. You have no rights or grounds to do anything. The only safe guard Virginia has, is for vehicles being sold with a salvage title. All sales are as-is-where-is unless stated otherwise. Looks like a nice car so who really cares.

 

I purchased the car in Maryland if that makes a difference. The Seibon hardtop is about $2100-$2600 more than most Mugen style hardtops. It's looking like it may not be worthwhile hassling this kid for a partial refund. But who knows. I did buy the car way below KBB value in fair condition.

 

lol lolyers

 

People still buy these cars?
