Used vehicles are sold "as-is" for the most part. Did you have a mechanic inspect the vehicle before purchase?

Private party sales in Washington when it comes to used vehicles, especially older vehicles, are considered as-is. It was up to you to have the vehicle checked out prior to purchase, not after. Better get that title transferred soon too.
