Bought a used car from a dealer through phone calls and email
exchange. I signed the contract "AS IS", paid all and then noticed a
major defect never mentioned by the dealer. The car is almost
undrivable however he described it as "perfect, drive like dream" and
confirmed "no problem I need to be aware of"


It's a '99 car and does not have manufacturer warranty.

I have been contacting the dealer to either get the problem fixed at
his cost or return it  but no response. I don't mind to go to court
but questions are:
1. Based on the situation, what's the possibility I can win? 
2. I am in VA and the dealer is in FL. What is the process? 
3. Do I need a lawyer for the problem?

Need answer within 2 days. Thanks for your help.
