Default lighter colored smoke compared to a dark thick smoke...can't say it's white...

all i know is my car is a POS, it's been in the shop for 2 months total at least since i bought it in april. i understand these cars have issues but i've have non stop issues. yes, i knew it was a used car too and expected it to have something. i just payed a grand to have the front axle replaced along with upper and lower front control arms. this is only a little of what i've had to have done...are there any kind of laws that protect used cars?
