Wow, $10,000 for that? That's way to much, you could have definitely got a better deal for 10k, there are other used cars out there that are more recent in terms of years, and with less mileage that would have been even less than 10k.

What's done is done though, if your happy with it then get your money's worth and enjoy it for as long as you can.

There is no dealership in America who would keep a 15 year old car on their lot, even it if were lower mileage. If they took a car that old in trade, they would wholesale it off, not try to sell it. Most dealers have a cut off age limit on the used cars they keep, and it's more like five years, surely not 15...!

You have no recourse.

You signed a contract knowing full well what you were getting. They didn't hide anything from you.

You were not under duress, there was no fraud.

You have no case.

But then again, I seriously doubt this is anything but a joke.

If they have to put more then 600.00 in one it goes on to the wholesale,"totanote"lots.

Sound like You must be really young and the salesman took you!!!
Sorry to say but I wouldn't give more that $500.00 for one like that!!

You got took that is all there is to it. No judge is going to award you damages because you mad a poor choice. What are you going to do stand up there and tellhim that you are a retard and you should get your money back??? I mean really. Put a nitch in your belt and move on. If you really want to make a difference make sure that no one makes the same stupid mistake that you did. I wish you the best of luck with your court case but I will bet you that you are going to loose and they you are out 10,000 for a junk car and how ever much the lawyer charges. With all that you could have bought a new car.
