Do you have it in writing that the car is rust free?
If this goes to court, here's the key point:
Rust free, if in writing, could be a win for you...
The negatives:
Car was as is. You had a chance to inspect it, and it's across state lines...
If you paid $25k for a pristine car, might be worth a lawyer.
If you paid 8 grand... That's a different story, and the car is probably yours. Take your time, fix it.
Good luck

Thanks. The ad on Samba states RUST FREE, but I'm not sure that qualifies as in writing.
I paid $27k for the car and was assured it was a solid car with no issues. I know it's a bit high but it was close enough that I would save transport for something farther.
I did inspect the best I could when I actually put my hands on the car but short of jabbing a screwdriver in it I wasn't going to see much, and I was going on the assurance that the pans were replaced and other issues were addressed.
I don't believe I was intentionally mislead because I don't believe he ever really looked to the extent I did when I got it home and on the lift. That said, he shouldn't of advertised it, or verbally confirmed the car was indeed rust free. Or at least that how I see it.
