                  Caveat emptor

                  Without documentation that gives you legal recourse, you pretty much have to depend on the sellers eagerness to protect their reputation. You then run a risk of committing Defamation.

                  Contact the seller and see what they can do for you, conditional on what you find out from a 3erd party eval. If they're not willing to do anything, chalk it up to a learning experience. Review your business practice and keep going. Good luck.

                      It was only 150, could have been worse. I bought a Pro back in June for 350 and didn't see that there was a sh-t ton of rust near the rear trailing arm. I stole what I could from the car and junked it for 200. so 150 to learn to be more thorough when buying cars, I'll take that.

                      Just have to be more careful I guess.
