Now, you can fight with the seller to get a refund, but the best you could ever hope for would be to pay $500. to ship it back to him and then get your $950. back.
Doesn't seem to make sense to me. If you really don't like repairing it, just sell it the way it is. I'm sure you'll get more than $450. for it unless the engine and transmission are shot.........then it's truly a parts car and is not worth even that.

In reality I paid $1450 (950 + 500) for a vehicle that should be scrapped. I agree that it makes no sense to send it back and pay for shipping, that is why I am insisting that the SELLER pay for the shipping back to him. It was his misleading ad that made me buy the car in the first place. If I received what was in the ad, I would have been happy. Heck I would have even been fine if the car has a couple of problems in addition to the ones he mentioned, but it has many many problems that he didnt mention which he should have. The car does have a decent engine and the bumpers are in good shape, but that is it. I am not a parts dealer or a mechanic, and dont really feel like going through the trouble of trying to take it apart peice by peice to try and get some of my money back. I really think that the seller shouyld take responsibility for ommitting very important things (bald tires, cracked windshield), and flat out lying about other things ("immaculate interior", "no rust" and "excellent paint"). Regardless of the price, I should have gotten what was in the ad, not this rusted out old beater. I will try and get some of my money back from him and sell the car for whatever I can get (hopefully $500).
