Looks like they preyed on you, my comrade. I know we are in the "should've/could've" phase now so I'll add this: should've brought your parents or a trusted friend/other family member along who has past experience in buying cars.

I brought my parents along more as morale support than anything else. Still asked for their advice regarding numbers and looking over the contract. Would a second pair of eyes have helped you here? Who knows. But now you learned your lesson. Life experiences!

To parrot what others have said here, if the car works fine now, keep it. I know you want something else but a potentially costly court battle vs selling vs keeping the car - which one be more wallet sucking for you?

Well, like mentioned above, now you have gained an important life experience.

OK, you are 21 and you like (liked) the FR-S. So, it had a few bangs and got a new engine. Does it look good? Does it run good? Can you still fit your family in it?

If so, I suggest that you continue to drive it for a few more years (or until your family outgrows it).

Kind of like stocks ..... you don't lose any money until you sell.

Don't let that "bad deal" wreck up your enjoying the car.

Just be thankful your purchase wasn't a house, that you found out later was sitting on top of a sinkhole.

You forgot "make an alcoholic drink" at the end of your advice. I am disappointed, kind sir.
