That's a tough one - while you have all the documentation that implicates the seller as deceptive, you signed away any claims with the "no guarantees" verbiage in the contract.
A good starting point is to send him a carefully worded letter (email or whatever) that states ONLY the facts and leaves out any emotional comments that would paint you as reactionary. In the letter, don't dwell on the fraud but point out that the frame damage was not disclosed and that the a/c issue was not as described. The accumlator is, unfortunately a non-issue since it failed after you'd taken possession. Also make mention of some potential settlement options including a full return of the purchase price as well as transportation costs. Don't end the letter with a "if you don't respond, I'll get my Italian brother-in-law to fix you" (although I have some Sicillian friends in Chicago if necessary) - instead simply state something to the effect of "I await your response". I doubt this will get you much but it's a start. In the meanwhile, try contacting a lawyer that's savy in the Internet world to explore more expensive but effective options. If you don't get a response, send the same letter via certified US mail and make sure to CC your lawyer. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
