Legal issue or just unfortunate experience

Ok, so here's the deal.

I decide on a 02 GT. I ask the salesman for a test drive. I said any color but yellow or red (no offence to anyone). He put me in a sonic blue. Have a good drive, am happy and return.

I say I'd like to upgrage to a Mach 1000 sound system. Without looking (he peeked in about 6 cars) he says they don't have any available. I ask for one with a 6CD changer (same question maybe?) and again the answer is there aren't any.

So, fine, I'm getting a good trade w/0% so I got for it.

The next day I realize that there are 500 miles on it (my bad for not looking before). two days later the roof starts leaking (which they fix the same day). 2 days later the leak starts again on both sides and there is this nasty squeling sound whenever the drivers side window is open or closed. I haven't had those looked at yet

Right now if I'm wondering if they were trying to get rid on that particular car for some reason (not checking inventory for a car that would have made them more money) or if it was "a coincidence."

I ran a CarFax report and in came back clean. I've put about 1k of miles since I've had it. (495 total)

May question is do I go to the dealer for selling me a "new" car w/500 miles on with and leaks? Ford corporate? Get a lemmon-law laywer?

Anyone had any similiar expeniences with roof leaks in 02 GTs? (Not Conv.)

Dealership is Century Ford in Rockville, MD.

Any and all ideas and suggestings greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys =)

Roof leaking on a coupe? weird.......doesnt constitute a lemon though...and yes it is your fault for buying a car without checking the mileage...lol....6cd changers are in the mach 460 as well....and my 02GT's windows squeak like a mfer unless theyre wet, but only around the top weatherstripping....i have no idea why and keep forgetting to ask my dealer about it when i go in (ive been there 3 times for tire balancing, 3 oil changes, some paint resurfacing, etc etc)...just make sure you get getting everything fixed...thats what warrenty is for...if its still leaking, they didnt fix it, and you bring it back until its fixed, or start complaining big time to the dealer when they cant fix it....
