Needing reassurance on purchase

[Rainer]

Great, glad to hear you're not feeling as bad about the car. I agree with the general consensus here. The initial bad taste the car left you with will fade as you roll up your sleeves and undo some of the shoddy work and do the car justice. It deserves it.

Don't misunderstand, I'm still PI$$ED. It's just that a week has passed and I am finallyable to sleep at night. I have had lots of encouragement from here and at home. That doesn't take away the sour taste I have in my mouth. I feel as though I have been severely ripped off. Where the bulk of the blame lies is up to speculation. The point being is that I paid good money, in good faith (handshake deal-paid in full up front) and didn't get nearly the product that type of money would warrant. This was supposed to be a drive-enjoy-tinker(the small stuff) type of adventure, my dream car. It has turned into a financial nightmare, with the prospect of spending thousands more on a car I may never love.

Has the seller offered to reimburse you for what you feel may have been misrepresentations. The seller has made it sound like you and he have discussed that possibility.
