I bought a trailer and had severe problems with the brakes and put a stop payment on the check?

The owner is out of state so i wrote him expressing my displeasure on the deal since he had represented the trailer as road worthy and ready to go come to find out one of the two door doesnt funtion ,brakes will not pass state inspection.He has called me threatening to have me arrested .What should i do .I have sent him a bank check for what i feel is a fair settlement he insist on the full amount. I paid 500.00 deposit to the car dealer where he had it on consingment did not get reimbursed sent a bankcheck for 3500.00 .The bill of sale states 5000.00 ,He has a total of 4000.00 of my money for a trailer that I dont even want or say want to put a lot of more money into to be state inspectable

you should have had it checked out before you bought it. pay him the rest, fix the trailer, and enjoy it.
Sorry, dude, but you had an opportunity to inspect the trailer before you took delivery and apparently didn't bother to do a thorough job. You agreed to the sale, and took the trailer off the dealer's lot. You owe the guy the rest of his money.
TRUTH IN LENDING. If he wasn't truthful, you have 3 days to cancel the deal. Shame on someone. It is the law.
