Legal Question in Consumer Law in Illinois

I purchased a used car from a private party in Morton, IL. It is a 2006 Honda Civic Si Coupe, the seller advertised the car as having a bad motor, I agreed upon a price with the seller and sent him payment, I arranged to have the car picked up and delivered to FL. Once I get the car I come to find out that not only is the motor bad, but also the transmission is also damaged, which the seller did not disclose. I contacted the seller and he texts me back stating the transmission was fine when he shiped it to me, I then explained to him thats impossable since I can not drive it due to the bad motor. Also the seller stated in his ad that the body was in perfect condition, once the car arrived in FL there was a big dent in the roof of the car. Lastly the seller in his ad mentions the car comes with a factory Honda Body Kit also he has pictures of the car with the Honda Body Kit and also sends me addtional pictures of the car with the Honda Body kit, once I get the car here in FL, the car did not have the body kit on it, it appears he removed it and then shipped me the car. The factory Honda body kit costs about $1,500 + paint and install. Do I goto small claims, or do I hire an Attorney. What can I do, please help.....Thanks

Hire an attorney.

If you would like to pursue this guy, you may be able to get a judgment against him or even return of the vehicle and refund of your expenses.

I handle matters of this nature all the time, but I also bill an up front retainer.

Contact me if you would like to discuss further.
