I'm assuming this car was sold to you without a warranty from the dealer. If that's the case, then there is not much you can do.
Your narrative of you experience tells me that neither you nor your father have any experience buying used cars. I see no evidence that you researched the car, test drove it or took it to a mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection. If you don't do those things, you are very likely to wind up paying too much for a piece of junk.
In the used car world (with a few exceptions by state), once you buy a used car, it and any problems it has belong to you. As such, it is important to thoroughly check out a car before you buy it. That is the only way of knowing what you're getting yourself into. Salesmen lie all the time because they know whatever they tell you will be superceded by the written contract.
I think you're stuck with this one because you didn't do your homework. Next time, do a simple Internet search on "how to buy a used car" and you will find a lot of information that will keep this from happening again.

"I feel I was given a very unfair deal on the car"
The time to act on that feeling is before purchase not afterwards.
"I would really appreciate if someone would help me out"
What kind of help are you requesting?
