I'm a 60 year family dealership owner. CountD is totally right. Be nice nice nice.
1. Consult a local lawyer because I'm not from your state .
2. Insure the car fully
3. Bring it back ASAP and park it on his driveway. 150 miles is peanuts. Bring a ride home, leave it there.
4. Be nice and try to obtain a refund. It's a bit like a store, don't talk refund without bringing the car back that's just dumb.
5. Do it immediately, don't waste a moment.
5. Leave it there for some days while you try to work it out (it's insured).
6. Pray for success.
7.Expect to fail, as is is as is if the seller wasn't a dealer, you test drove it and agreed to pay. You should have used the cars jack and lifted it on the jack point , that's what it's for.
8. If the seller is a dealer - sue him in small claims court without a lawyer. In my town judges often help the "little guy" in small claims court. Your state may not have that.
9. Best of luck. I've only bought back one unit in the last 20 years and it was when the guys lawyer wrote me a letter and I decided not to battle him.
10. At worst you have a car you can resell on eBay and get some money back or keep and drive till it breaks.
