Let it go! Dead or alive, you're on the hook. I've never known of a private sale of a car that came with any warranty. I can imagine that there might be some kind of claim for fraud, but "buyer beware" is the primary rule when purchasing a car from someone. Consider it a lesson learned and move on.
