bought a car with falsified inspection.

[bustedchucks]

i bought a car and the vin on the inspection doesnt match the car.

private person, from a classified, i paid cash.

im an idiot, i know.

i brought it to a mechanic cause the spedo stopped working and he informed me of the inspection deal. do i have any recourse? i bought it thinking that it was at least in good enough shape to pass inspection, but apparently thats not quite true.

is this a buyer beware situtation or is the [censored] who sold it to me liable for fraud or some such?
