You could try to sue him in small claims court to get all or part of the selling price back, or repair costs. But if none of his false explanations are in writing, I would learn to live with the losses and either sell or repair. As long as nothing else emerges in the short run this might be manageable if you have skills or the willingness to put in the time to learn. How do you know the AC compressor is fading? The black interior sixth gen Civics were hard to cool in really hot climates like where you are. My 1998 Civic's AC was always a big disappointment, even after we had it serviced at the dealership (it was a certified used car purchased under warranty).

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
