It might make a dandy boat anchor.
I'd probably just try to get my money back and look for deals like this one...

By the way the swing is 10", not 6" as stated in the ad. http://www.lathes.co.uk/logan/page4.htmlThat Logan would be 10 times better than the lathe you got. Even if it is used.
How about advertising on CL and local websites/newspapers for a lathe? I've done it on my local CL and have had a couple of good results.
I may have missed this but ARE the ways hardened and straight? The first indication would be wear lines on the angled way which would result in a square being worn at the top of the way.
I have to hand it to you, I'd be dropping it off at the dealer and demanding my money back, I would be very worried about the quality of the other components, if gears are hardened properly, lead and feed screws, BEARINGS, things that would be giving the grunt to the spindle and carriage.
