Sorry, but this is a common car dealer scam.

Contact your state's consumer affairs office or hire a lawyer but I suspect that the dealer has all his bases covered.

By the way, there's a ton of stuff on the internet about car dealer scams. 5 minutes of homework before car shopping would have exposed them all to you.

Here's an example:

I agree with the previous poster, you may wish to consult with a local Consumer Protection Lawyer to advise you of your rights regarding this matter.
