1. Only if you get a lawyer and tell them your going to take them to court .
2. Was this an "As Is" Sale? Were they complete truthful with the condition of the car? Did it come with an inspection certificate? Was there a warranty offered/ Does your state of a lemon law?
3. Sorry, dude. You'll lose in court. Go back and be nice...they don't have to do anything for you, but sounds like they're trying to help. Good luck.
4. You bought an 11 year old used car. Used cars that old are sold "as is", meaning whet you see is what you get. You had the opportunity to inspect and determine the condition of the vehicle before you bought it. Car sales (new or used) are always final. There are no returns, refunds, or cooling-off periods when it comes to buying a car. You have no legal recourse here. You are lucky the dealer fixed your brakes for free. Now if they said they fixed the timing belt before you bought it and you are now being told the timing belt broke is another matter. Timing belts should last around 100,000 miles. "block" refers to your engine block, and they don't just "go out". They may crack or break, but they don't just go out. It's possible the block was damaged as a result of the timing belt breaking. You'd have to be able to prove 1) that the timing belt wasn't replaced as they said it was and 2) that the block was damaged as a result of the timing belt failing. Next time, do your homework before you buy a vehicle - like check the brakes, etc., and buy from a reputable dealer.
