used cars are FULL of things "wrong". Parts rattle, bits are worn , funny smells etc.
Get used to it - a car will not be perfect once a person has owned it - let alone for 11 years !

I highly doubt you have been "jipped".
Something i know is that you have failed to research used cars of this market better so you cold tell for yourself whether it was worth the purchase price.

it depends how much you paid for it.

Some of those things you should have noticed or gotten check when you were buying it (eg: the windows)

Other things are just ware and tare which come with anything as ben said (the steering wheel ware for example)

yep its a used car. Plain and simple. Hopefully it wasnt expensive as hell.

You were jipped because you bought a Honda.

Maybe checking the car before you bought it would have helped. And as everyone else said it's not a new car. If you want to know if you've been jipped tell us how much u paid for it and we'll let you know. All of the repairs you need are minor, powersteering can be expensive tho. A bit more prior research would have probably helped you or maybe buying a new car instead of a used one.
