RC, I hate to hear stories like yours and it seems too common. I have had significant misrepresentations on every used car I have bought, but not as serious as your situation.
I only looked into it once. Although the seller had specifically told me the '90 Mustang drove perfect and had no engine or trans problems, the trans was bad and I had to replace it for $2K. Not a fortune, but I was angry he had misrepresented it.
I spoke to two attorneys in PA and they both picked me apart as the buyer for not taking due care to protect myself by having a mechanic look at it. They explained it was a "buyer beware" situation and it was my fault and I had no case.
Even though it didn't work out for me, I certainly hope you pursue your case, especially since you have documentation, may go with an attorney that specializes, and you are going after a company.
Good luck and keep us updated. It is an important topic for us.
-Doug
