Hello,
I recently purchased a used car from a private seller the ad stated the car is in good running condition, I test drove the vehicle approx 10 minutes in total and it drove ok, the deal was made. On my way home (approx 40 minutes) the car ran hot and I had to pull over, I called the guy and asked him if he had any problems with the car running hot and he told me he did have an issue about a week or two ago and I asked him why he didn't disclose this and he stated I'm sorry. He would not accept the car back. I asked him if he would consider given me some return on my money because the car was not in good running condition as he stated. Long story short there is a major repair that has to be done and I want to know if I have any legal recourse in recooping some of my money for the repair because he lied about his ad?
