More details to this question:
I bought a car 10 days ago "as is" from a private dealer. Now I went to my mechanic to get it checked and found out it has a bad engine and can break down anytime. I have not received my title for the car yet. I paid 1500 cash. Is there anything I can do to pursue legal action since the car was sold to me defective? The dealer said it has nothing wrong with it bought it when i band their cars are all checked prior to selling. I am sure he knew what was wrong.

If you bought it AS-IS, thats exactally what it is. At $1,500.00 its likely not worth suing over as it costs about $600.00 just to file a suit.
