Fraud/False Pretenses - Need Opinions

[Dizzymagoo]

Alright guys and gals I have a question for you.

Recently I purchased a 2002 Volkswagen Golf GTI 337. The car has been built and was in great shape for being 10 years old. About 4 days after purchasing it the coolant return y valve split and caused a bunch of major issues. When I contacted the seller(We had been in contact the past couple days) I said "Oh hey just so you know you had a bad coolant line." he simply replied "Yeh on the passenger side return". I'm really pissed that this guy didn't even mention that the $11 part was broken. Keep in mind the guy had told me about the fuel pump problems and I was still more than willing to purchase the car. Do you guys think there is anyway that LEGALLY I could go after this guy for selling a vehicle under False Pretenses or Fraud?

My reasoning behind this is that he knew about the issue and failed to even briefly mention anything regarding it. Also on his bill of sale he didn't put "As Is".

Thanks in advance!

No, unless your state has a lemon law and you can return the entire vehicle.

You bought it, it is now yours, thus your problem.

Thouroghly check vehicles during purchase as well as during ownership. He is a D bag for not saying anything, but not against the law either, just karma you hope gets bcd at him.
