Hva om det viser seg at du har kjøpt katta i sekken?
I think you should rephrase this so that you have a sentence containing the car preceeding the sentence I've suggested (so that it becomes clear what "katta i sekken " (pig in a poke) refers to. Maybe something like: "Så du skal anskaffe deg en bil? Hva om det viser seg at du har kjøpt katta i sekken?"
