    SOrry man, you just learned a tough lesson.

    Its called BUYER BEWARE not SELLER BEWARE. It is up to you to inspect the car thoroughly before purchase. The issues you listed, those are all things a simple once over from a mechanic could have spotted or figured out. Once you purchase a vehicle all problems are assumed by you. So in that regard, while he may have lied or stretched the truth, that is not "scamming" anyone.

    Scamming would be saying it had a brand new engine, or a clean title, and neither of those being true.

    As far as the parts, i cant say this enough. If someone is throwing something in on a deal or "owes" you parts but doesnt have them with him at the time of the sale, you can pretty much assume you will NEVER SEE THOSE ITEMS.

    You better have a bill of sale and have it notarized , but even then what are you going to do sue him for $200 in parts?

    When are people going to learn. Do not buy something used unless you fully inspect it. Do not pay anything until everything that is in the deal is there. It gets to a point where I do not feel sorry at all because the red flags were everywhere.
