Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Minnesota

Hello, we purchased a used 2010 Cadillac Escalade with 33,000 miles on it. We originaly found the truck on the dealers web site out of state. The add listed it as a pre-owned certified Cadillac. Now 10 months, 14,000 miles later we brought the truck into my local Cadillac dealer to have some warranty work done. They say the factory warranty has expired but i told them that the truck was certified and i had 23,000 or 2 years to go. They said it have not been entered from the dealer i bought it from. So i called the original dealer and asked them to check it out. They called me back an hour later to tell me that they never certified it and forgot to take out the certification card which is signed by the dealer. Also the 172 point check was never done. No suprise that they offered my $1200 to make up for their mistake. I told them that the problem i am having the truck will cost me $1200 plus to fix, the i have to hope nothing goes wrong in the next 2 years or 23,000 miles. The insisted on talking to my son so they could perswade him into the cash and let them off the hook, i told them they have to deal with me instead. The Escalade new window sticker was over $87,000 and we paid $50,000. The labor and parts cost are very expensive that why we bought it with that longer warranty. By the way we drove 8hrs one way to get it. Can i some how make them buy it back. I dont trust them anymore. I hav'nt heard from them for 3 days. Please advise. Thank you, Tim
