   Honestly who is going to buy it with all those problems. To fix them your talking more than the cars worth. Get ya chin up and a haynes manual and use it as a car to learn on and get some second hand parts on it.

   Pretty f**ked up you want to sell it like that mate if you did that to me I would bring it back and demand my money back witch I would be in my rights to. If you refused you can get taken to court and loose your money and car.
   
   Best bet then is to sell it as spares or repairs or sell it as parts. Not really fair to sell your problems on to a unknowing party.

   +1 in that situation you knowingly sold a car that wasn't fit for purpose.
   
   won't be too much to fix it all if you do it in stages. and save up bit by bit.
