First off I created this thread to get help on what course of actions I should take for the idiotic move that I made on my part of purchasing a vehicle that looked great on the outside but got totally owned in the end.
I needed a vehicle asap because my other one crapped out and I needed it for work. So without any due diligence and little knowledge on cars I purchased a Corolla. I took it for a test drive and it felt like the engine was pretty solid and the body seemed fair for a rebuilt status. Anyways it died on me while I was on the main road then I had it towed to Toyota where they notified me after inspecting the vehicle that it should not have even been on the road and is unfit for safe use. It would require about $3000 worth of repairs for it to be safe for the road again. The tech even told me that whoever approved this inspection should lose their license.
When talking to this family man who appeared to be a honest man told me that nothing would require fixing and is in working condition but really is a piece! I had called and left messages but have not spoken to the individual that sold me the vehicle yet.
What course of action would you advise I should take or did I just lose all my money in repairs because of stupidity of making a rash decision.
