Your paperwork controls, if any was executed. The ad does not necessarily form part of your bargain. IF you bought it "as is" than you may be stuck with the bargain. If there was fraud in the inducement of the sale, than you may have other claims against the seller. Seek some legal advice with all your paperwork.
