jeeze,, I know. I feel like I want to vomit!
This is my “advice” for better or for worse. Obviously, try to get back your money or get the car but as one Freeper posted, maybe the car was involved in something sordid so maybe not such a good idea.
Don’t beat yourself up over it. We all make mistakes. All of us - some of us get off easier than others. Some mistakes are money and some last a lifetime.
People spend a lot of money to go to college to “learn” and you learned something. Meanwhile, I’ll say a prayer that you get back your $. In my mind, that’s a lot of dough and I’d be heartbroken plus you still need a car, right?
Wish I could help you.
