Select Motor Auto Sales

My boyfriend and I are first time car buyers. When we pulled up on the lot, no one came out to greet us, so we went inside. After telling him which car we were interested in, he handed us the keys to go check it out. We looked at the car for a while, took it on a short test drive and brought it back.
The tires were very bald, the body was nice, and as far as we knew the engine sounded good. We negotiated the price based on the fact that the tires needed replacing.
We got a lemon from them.
After purchasing the car, we had about an hour drive home. That was when we noticed the smell coming from the engine. After further investigation, we determined the car had been sold with a blown head gasket. Blah, blah, blah right? We will skip all that…
When we called them for advice, and possibly some help, he just kept repeating how we had gotten a «intensive vehicle inspection from a mechanic» before we purchased the car. Which was NOT true.
We have gotten no help from the dealer, and I fully believe that they were aware of the blown head gasket and the fact we were first time car buyers.
