If you had only done your true due diligence and had a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) done, you would not be in this mess. So, unless the seller is a business entity, or a trained mechanic, I think going to litigation, or even threatening to do so is a poor choice on your part. Again, your own words posted above are against you, you were honest in making the initial post, but it shows that you went in to it with your eyes wide open, so legal recourse is really not an option, unless you want to sue yourself for making the purchase in the first place. At this point you have three choices, sell it with "full disclosure of what you now know", attempt to piece it together, or part it out in an attempt to recoup your initial investment.

In closing, and of course this is a little late for you, but there is a link in my signature line that outlines the basics of buying a used Cobra, I suggest you read and reread it so you do not experience buyers remorse again.

Sincerely,

I agree if you could not see it in person a pre purchase inspection is a must.

Maybe you could figure some way to feel out the seller on the issues. I'm too literal a person and it would be putting fuel on the fire. Legally you could write anything but "as is"...means just that.
