Hi, Olin --
Sorry as can be to hear of your experience; in the worst case, just
grimace and chalk up that $3K difference to "tuition."
You'll want to check SC law, of course, but here in Georgia, the owner
could verbally represent that the car had just had a ground-up
restoration by the factory, and there wouldn't be {much,anything} you
could do about it. Do you have anything in writing?
I hope that you can take some comfort in the fact that your experience
may save others from a similar or worse loss.
Best regards,
