The dealer informed you the car had been in an accident, you didn't request a Carfax, and honestly, you paid too much for the car (knowing it had been in a collision). On top of this, you traded in a car that put you underwater on your previous loan. If you tried to pursue legal action, you have no way to prove in court what the dealer told you the extent of the damage was, and even if you could, legal fees are expensive.

In my opinion, your best bet is to keep driving and enjoying the car until the point where the depreciation/lost value doesn't matter much, and consider this a very valuable lesson learned. We all make mistakes sometimes. Lord knows I have. What matters is that you learn from them.
