You would have received a $500 credit at closing or a property disclosure. If you received the credit it would have been up to your inspector to discover the problem. Otherwise you have no grounds to sue. You should look at your inspection report and/or look at your closing statement regarding the credit. If you received the property report and it didn't disclose you may have grounds to sue.
Those don't sound like very expensive repairs. Just pay for the repairs and forget about it. What goes around comes around; the sellers will pay for it eventually in some other way
