Did you view lots of detailed pictures of this vehicle inside and out before agreeing to purchase it and have it delivered sight unseen?

Was there anything stated in the auto trader ad that is a lie or mistake?

If you answer no to the first question you share some blame here.

Now regarding both questions, if the pictures are not the same vehicle or doctored in any way, it is considered false advertising, even if they claim this was a mistake. If the ad states the vehicle is equipped with any features that are missing/non existent, or anything non functional that the ad claims works, that is also false advertising, which is illegal in every state, and will give you possible recourse.

Granted you most likely purchased this vehicle "as-is", but this implies no warranty. So if the engine blew up in a week, you have no legal recourse. But false advertising is a scam and illegal regardless if the vehicle was sold "as-is, or with a warranty implied.

You state the vehicle "looked great" which I guess was the picture or pictures in the ad. Did these pictures not show the damaged parts and filthy condition? I have bought and sold cars sight unseen but this was always done with pictures of every detail of the vehicle at different angles and lighting, and emphasis placed on any damage or imperfections so no one is "surprised" when the vehicle arrives. Typically photo-shop or similar is used to circle and highlight any imperfections or damage, even a scratch the size of a fingernail or a valve cover bolt the wrong type or missing..details, details.

On a side note which does not help you now, when you or anyone purchases a vehicle that is too far to see in person before purchasing, you can still pay a pro to check it out first, and/or use an escrow service such as "escrow dot com" which will hold the payment and give you time to inspect the vehicle. If it is not satisfactory you ship it back and the funds are returned to your account. Granted you may have to eat shipping fees in the worst case, but no legit dealer wants a vehicle they sold to be shipped back and they don't get a dime. If a dealer agrees to escrow, it usually means they are confident you will accept the vehicle and that they can be trusted. They stand to make nothing if they lie or scam in that case..the paperwork alone would not be worth their time if they were attempting to defraud and could not get away with it since the buyer is protected.
