Motor Vehicle passed inspection on harzardous car

[netangle]

I purchased a 1994 ford escort for 2895.00. I took my car to a state
inspection auto repair garage for $35.00 because I got off from work
to late to take my car to a inspection station. I told the mechanic
that my car suddenly did not feel safe and the dealer kept saying the
car was fine. I asked him to look over the car because the dealer said
that he would fix whatever needs to be fixed or refund me if he can't
and my car fails inspection. The mechanic said my car was fine and
slapped on the inspection sticker. A month later I found out from a
repair shop that did my oil change that my car was a hazard and was
issued a drive at my own risk. My frame has rusted away and will break
apart anytime causing my wheels and steering to lose control and it
cannot be fixed. I'm a single hard working Mom who was sold a car in
this condition. Now I'm without a car and $289500. Can I sue the
Repair shop for approving the inspection and causing me to lose my
exchange or refund?

Have you at any point in this entire process taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic for an inspection?

You paid over twice what the car was worth to begin with.....

Maybe she's in Cuba, where a 94 Escort would be worth that. (hint, hint)
