More details to this question:
I bought a used 1994 Jaguar in Florida that dealer stated (in print and verbally)the car was in pristine condition, driven by the owner etc.. I did sign an AS Is clause. The salesman stated the air conditioner and convertible top pump were repaired which I found out after the car was purchased were not. The knob for the climate control even fell off when turned (had been glued on). The brakes had a complete failure while driving. I have spent over $5,000 dollars in repairs and expenses

If you bought a 20 year old car "as is" you will have to expect it to require some repairs. Otherwise you should have demanded a warranty. In either event, absent fraud, terms like pristine condition are subjective and you should always have such a car inspected by a mechanic of your choice prior to the purchase.
