Hey everyone I've just joined to seek out some advice from people on what to do.

I purchased a Toyota mr2 mk2 1991 rev 1 from a private seller over two months ago now.

At the time of purchase I had a look around and basic stuff. To my untrained eye it seemed to be sound. Unfortunately in my stupidity I didn't look well enough before I signed all the paperwork and played 1750 for it. Ive had to have the exhaust repaired costing 200 pounds. As well as dodgy lights fixed. Both front brakes turned out to be binding quite badly. However when I bought it they seemed fine. And I wasn't informed of any of the problems. Anyway I drew a line under it and took it to a specialist who informed me that the car is 'rotten' the sills have been botched together out of bubble wrap cardboard and had a fibreglass sill cover stuck on. As well as that, bushes are all on their way out, rust everywhere to the point where things have just fallen off! The list goes on. Heart breaking to be honest! And to top that off, between me and the specialist we had a dive into the online MOT history available and discovered that it had been clocked at some point in 2012. It was advertised as 107000 miles and was actually on 226000 miles in 2011 then suddenly dropped the next year... No mention about any other mileage at all!

I've since been trying to contact the guy who, prior to this, text me back straight away pretty much before. Now he is not answering his phone or replying to texts. I have his address so I could always drive there if needs be but I'm not sure if that's even a good idea?

I just want to know where i stand, what rights I have and what I can do.

Thanks in advance! Pretty heavy introduction!
