What are NY state's lemon laws

I purchased a car from a private party. The car was advertised as needing specifically needing little work. When I looked at the car the owner said it will be a great car once a little work is put into it, and they were not sure exactly what it needed. They said the car had sat for 6 months and led me to believe it may need a tune up. I purchased the car for 5000. II took the car to a shop to get a tune up and looked over. The shop came back and said that the car would need an entire motor rebuild, new steering system, among a few other larger things. They said the car had been run without oil, but looked as if someone just added new oil.

A shopped around, for a rebuild and the other things that it needed. It was going to be around 10,000 dollars to repair the car!

I have since junked the car as thats what it was junk. I feel I was duped into taking the car. The owner told me that I should look around more, and that the repairs that I told him and her it needed should be considered as little work to a savvy car person...

Can I sue to get my money back?
