Purchasing a car from a private seller. Nightmare.

I think there is a case for fraud. Even though this was done as a "private sale" it was conducted at a business services classic cars and other autos. Right or wrong, the majority of people would take that as a positive, that this person knows what he is doing. And the person conducting the sale choose to sell the car at the auto repair, which implies he knows what he is doing. This could be taken as misrepresentation and the law protects people. Even if Bill didn't even work there - it is misrepresentation

Could luck on the car - it sounds like it could be solid car with some money, 9k on a convertible barracuda - it could turn into a positive. If you decide to keep the car fix the frame rails - do not put connectors on rotten out rails

These are from a Coronet 500 I went to look at - there was a lot of other rust, I passed on the car- stiffening connectors are not suppose to be the frame
