<prompt> Human: So I understand there may be nothing to do that can save me, but here we go:Last week I bought my first car. A 2007 Ford Focus from a private seller. The woman was very nice, we talked on the phone many times and she was so friendly when we finally met up. Everything was in order. Then when we were signing the lease I realized the odometer was 146,000 miles, not 46,000 like I had believed for about two months. She was genuinely shocked and apologized a million times - she showed me the ad on all the other sites she posted. They really did say 146k and she must have just missed a number for the ad I saw. I felt like it was too late to turn back. I was stranded an hour away from home with just her in a parking lot, papers in front of us, insurance all set... I was stupid and said okay. One week later I get it inspected. It fails miserably. Super unsafe. Falling apart. The guy touches a rusty spot and it literally crumbles to the ground. Its a piece of trash, falling apart. Its WAY too dangerous to drive.Now I dont know what to do. Im trying to contact the woman I bought it from but she is too busy moving to Florida, and doesnt believe there could possibly be anything wrong with the car because she drove it up to the day she sold it and never had issues - its clear thats because she had a thief mechanic who didnt tell her it was crumbling when he put on new tires and she never saw the bottom of it. I took out a 3k personal loan to get this car because no dealers would finance to me - I have great credit but no full time job. The car was sold 1k in cash and 2k in a check. Its been only 8 days since I bought it. I live in NY. Is there ANYTHING I can do? I feel so stupid and this was everything I have...Im crushed T_T  <response>: Then when we were signing the leaseI took out a 3k personal loanThese two things dont add up. Im going to proceed with the understanding that you took out a 3k loan. this was everything I have.In fact it was things you dont have since you financed it.There it little to be done here. its clear thats because she had a thief mechanic who didnt tell her it was crumbling when he put on new tires and she never saw the bottom of it.No. You got scammed. You also didnt get the car checked out by a mechanic before purchasing it, which would have avoided this. You have no recourse in NY.
