Car isn't starting please help!!!

took the car out to give a run and pushed the accelerator all the way down but it took its time to register(lag) but seller said it's meant to do this since it's an auto

on my 2nd run i pushed it again and it didn't go over 3000rpm it just stayed there. I tried depressing and repressing but nothing happened, slowed down for the signal and the car lost power and stopped.

after a bit the car started up again and i took it home

took it out 2 hours later to put in fuel. slowly.

got 40 liters of petrol put in

took it on to the road and floored it(car picked up and then again held on to it's 3000rpm and then died

the car started letting out smoke(or steam cant be sure as it was dark) from the hood

saw that the coolant pipe had burst.

When i added water to the coolant tank it started up again but water started boiling out of the leak so i shut it again

The car is just standing now

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE

Are you saying that you just bought the car? It had those problems while you were looking at it and you bought it anyway?
