Here's Kentucky law on car buying:

Note:
Quote:
What rights do I have if there is a problem after I buy the car? - Check the FTC Buyer's Guide which is required to be conspicuously posted. It will tell you whether the automobile is being sold "As Is". If there is a warranty, it will spell out specific details of the warranty. If sold "As Is", then you will not be able to get your money back or the auto repaired.

If you can prove very specific misrepresentations, you may have a claim for fraud or a private claim under KRS 367.220 for violation of the Consumer Protection Act. You might be able to revoke acceptance under the Uniform Commercial Code (KRS Chapter 355). You will need to consult a private attorney on these matters, however, as the Attorney General cannot represent individuals.

Edit: Sounds like you should call a local lawyer as the car was misrepresented to you. However due to the length of time since purchase and that people buy bum cars all the time I would be surprised if you got anything significant. There's all sorts of legal things you can do to make sure you actually get the money back and the lawyer doesn't swallow it all where lawyer fees are included in the settlement etc.
I've caught some articles by Steve Lehto, seems like reasonable advice, he may have already addressed it somewhere as well:
