i didn't read the whole thread cause Im in a rush, but I think I can help. You live in MA where there is a law that says you have 3 business days to return an automobile after purchase if you find the vehicle not what was represented. so do some research and get a lawer if needed but down just roll over and take it.

Let me tell you something from an attorney stand point.
When you purchased the car from the dealership, you most likely purchased it "as is", right?
Well when you buy the car "as is" and sign the very last line on the very last page, the dealer is no longer responsible/liable for the car.
Seeing some of the threads about "smelling a lawsuit," I WOULDN'T take any of there advice. You have no lawsuit. You would waste a lot of your money just filing in court fees, attorney fees, ect...
However, I do have good news. Depending on your state laws with returning the car, you might want to check them out. Each state has different laws in returning your car. If is has been more than three (3) days, most likely not. But that doesn't mean that they won't.
Good luck!!

ebay has numerous buyer protection programs
check them out. I purchased a "nice and clean" set of rims that came with 5 LARGE dents..
I got my money back through paypal and some more through ebay. (i got to keep the rims too, two were able to be sold)
Agian, paypal and many other money services will help you, also you can file for internet fraud, and even with the police to help get your money back or send the seller to jail (revenge is good).
Instead of coming here, you should spend your time talking with ebay, via internet and phone and with the company you sent the money through...good luck

I hope you don't try to bargain on price etc, and shoot yourself in the foot.
YOu have a good case for refund . This car was abused, moded, has no warranty.
Demand a full and immediate refund - don't get stuck with car if you can help it. There are others.

talk to the owner of the dealership you bought it from. tell them you found out that your warranty is voided. then see what they have to say about it. ask for some money back or tell them that you will need to take further action.

dude, you bought a car off ebay never having driven it and you don't even run the vin# through a Mitsu dealer to see if the warranty is still good? not very smart. hope this story has a happy ending, but just the BS you have to deal with from now until then will surely suck *****. I would never buy a car off ebay unless i can get it to a mechanic first.

That what I was thinking. Anybody recognize the car from any meets? The previous owner may no longer be on Evom after selling, but if he is he's probably
staying silent. He could have been the one who misled the dealer when he sold it. The dealer knew the car was a 2003 and they saw the odometer was less than 36000. Little did they know that 
voids warranties like nobody's business.Just being Devil's advocate. Ignorance is not an excuse. You should have recourse (within 3 days) if dealer advertised a voided warranty. Go get 'em!
