Absolutely not. You bought a 13 year old car and didn't check it out first. My SVX is very similar, if not worse. I'm not suing the 90 year old lady I bought it from. I'm very happy with the car!

In fact, I'm having a very hard time believing a judge sided with you regarding a car which you presumably purchased "as-is". I don't see any rust in those pictures which causes anything more than an aesthetic concern.

Cars in this area, for the most part, are at the end of their usable life after about 10 years. Of course, if the car is taken care of well, there are obvious exceptions. I sell cars for a living, and I drive 7 hours away to buy all of the cars that I resell. I learned quickly that local cars CAN NOT be sold to buyers on the west coast who don't understand what our cars are like, and as such have completely unreasonable expectations.

The definition of "rust free" is entirely different in Cleveland than it is in Las Angeles.
