Scam artists! Lot full of attractively priced lemons

First off the dimwits on Jersey Shore could run a more professional business. The guys were dressed like they were headed out to a club. They were prank calling people, playing football (and dinging cars on the lot), just clowning around like frat boys. But still i purchased a Jetta 2.5 from them and have had nothing but problems. Little things at first... The radio not working, the trunk latch not catching the first 5x i'd shut it. A leaky sunroof. Shaking like a beast when idle... This was all within the first 6weeks. A little further down the road i noticed my gas mileage getting worse and worse. Then it was having trouble accelerating. I finally brought it to my mechanic at Legit Auto in Hollywood (i HIGHLY reccomend them, very honest) when it started backfiring followed by the engine seizing up and then only puttering along at 15mph top speed. When they replaced the ignition coils they were so eroded and in such bad shape that they also had to replace the melted connectors and my spark plugs. I was researching VW thinking this was all there fault when 2 weeks back on the road the car started acting even worse. Now it needs a new transmission and possibly a new engine. Ridiculous.

I should have known they were sketchy by how quickly they promised they'd get me financed. I only live in CA part of the year so i refuse to become a resident, i also own my company so i was having an impossible time getting financed anywhere. But Andy, Brian and Johnny assured me they'd have nooo problem. And they didn't; because they lied to bank about how much i was making per month. They told me exactly what to say when the bank called me and how to basically fake my address because when i'm in LA i stay at my stepdads place and have no bills here in my name.

They also didn't disclose a discrepancy with the mileage on the Carfax report... Overall shady shady dudes. Has anyone had luck in small claims court with them!?
