A fundamental element of any purchase is that the product perform the task it is made to do. Only if stated in the sales agreement that it does not, can the seller be off the hook for a refund. Obviously, a car is made to run. The fact that it cannot run above 4k rpm is something that the owner had to have known. The seller is required to inform you about anything that keeps the product from performing its primary task(driving).
If you can prove that he drove the car more than 30 or 40 miles after the work was done, I think you have at least enough to convince him to give you your money back. Even though it was an, "as is" purchase you can legally get your money back if something that important was left out. Obviously, in court you would have the burden of proof to show that the seller knew something was wrong and omitted it.
Good luck. I hope you get at least something out of this deal.

the seller I belive really didnt know what had happened he wasnt the sharpest tool in the shed and very nice, He drove it a total of 6 miles back from the shop and parked it, i drove maybe 28-35 miles home , and them 8-10 miles down to my shop until it got the ngk's. Then 8-10 home. I have amazing records for the car i just found , the car now has 87,xxx the car had 83,xxx when it had 1600$ worth of maintnence repairs, INCLUDING PLUGS, all the work ever on the vehicle was at a mazda dealer. The reason the PO I bought the car from had taken it in because it wouldnt idle, so thats when the retard mechanic put the wrong plugs in, on the bill it states he had to adjust the idle screw, and the maf screw, which never needs to be adjusted period. I figured once he had the plugs in and started it it ran like dick, so he had to adjust everything to get it to idle, when i got the new plugs in the idle was at like 3k.

ANYONE who buys a rotary vehicle should take out the bottom spark plugs and compression test the motor. Hands down, even if they have paper work for a recent rebuild. If you were smart you would have done a compression test. If you did you would have noticed how shitty the plugs were when you take them out for the compression test. After seeing how crappy the plugs were even before a compression test i would have just walked away. Sell the 7 and buy a civic.

There is no way the shop isn't at fault the correct autolite plugs are rotary specific part number 2526. people here have been using these for years with no issues. Infact I've used them from time to time in many of my engines including my current engine when i had an NKG foul on me. so someone somewhere got something wrong.

There ya go, they put in the wrong plugs. Unfortunately, they didn't do it to YOUR car. They did it to someone else's car, and he then sold it to you. Your going to have a tough time with this one.
