Yup. In most states you'd be SOL even in court, typically private party purchases have no warranty and dealers are required to provide the standard form stating no warranty. Unless the seller explicitly provides a warranty, written or verbal, then there is no warranty. Your only other recourse is if the seller blatantly misrepresented the item, which is not the case here.
