lupient kia of brooklyn park sold me a car with a bad piston. Lied about condition of vehicle. Brooklyn Park, Minnesota

I purchased a vehicle at Lupient Kia in Minneapolis 3 months ago from out of state with milage in the late 60k range. When I arrived it had body damage that I was not informed of. On the drive home the car had very loud wind noise coming from a bad windshield replacement. Come to find out now, the car also has a bad piston and the short block needs to be replaced. Now I need a new motor in a car I just purchased 3 months ago. Installation of a new motor would cost me half what the vehicle is worth. I was told by a salesman to expect a call from the manager, haven't heard a word yet. Typically, a car with this low of milage doesn't have nearly any of these problems. It's not even due for a timing belt yet. I couldn't have even purchased a warranty for it because I'm from out of state and I realize there are shady car dealerships out there, but I expected more from an a legitimate dealer. The car wasn't even detailed for me when I arrived but due to the circumstances of it being a difficult car to find, and the fact that I was planning a long road trip and had already flown from Seattle to pick it up, I bought it anyway. Just a terrible experience really, I love the car and am forced to keep it because I can't afford to pay off the 10k thats left on the loan. I wouldn't want to pawn it off on some other poor sap either. I have tried contacting Lupient Kia to ask for financial assistance only on the new short block, I know enough about mechanics to put the short block in myself. Could save 3k-4k with my own labor, I don't think I'm asking much. Any help would be much appreciated.
