Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia

I purchased a 2003 chevy aveo with 29000 miles for 12,000 in feb 09 in newport news, va. In June of 09 i had my vehicle checked because the breaks started shaking the month before, it turned out my car had no break fluid and now my breaks and roders are completly worn. Also just this week my collant leaked out of the car causing my car to overheat and my theromostar to blow apart. Now the thermostat is covered under warrenty but te breaks are not, so i would have to pay to get that fixed myself, i dont mind paying its just that i feel it should be the dealerships responsibility since i just bought the car 6 months ago, i just dont know if i can legally have them do that. On top of all this as i said i paid 12,000 for my car but i kelly blue booked it and it said the suggested retail should be 7,000, making me pay an additional 5,000 for this vehicle, im feeling pretty ripped off and im thinking thak cant be legal???

The dealership will only be responsible for what's covered in its limited warranty and very likely nothing beyond that.

As far as your way overpaying the Blue Book value of the vehicle, that's something you should've checked out long before you agreed to purchase it.
