It is a scam to get more money out of you. The above
site is a GREAT reference about all of the things that
a dealer will do to try to screw you out of money.
Your experience happens to be an old trick.

Subject: Dealing with Buying a Car
Hello fellow listers,
I'm looking for some feedback on how to proceed in the following
situation:
I contacted my local Mazda dealer to find out about the 2002
Miata
Special Edition. I gave him my configuration, we negotiated a
price on
this configuration in writing, and I put a deposit down on the
car last
week. Everything's hunky-dory right? Wrong.
I got an email from him today saying his manager balked at the
pricing
and increased it by $3000. Needless to say, I was a little
miffed. I
sent an email back asking for his supervisor's name and number
so I
could speak with him. He sent me another email back stating
that it
wouldn't do any good to speak with his manager, and that he'd
mail me
back my deposit. I told him to not send it back until I spoke
with his
manager.
Well, folks, where do I take it from here? I don't think going
to
another dealership is an option, since this is a Limited
Edition car,
they've probably already added on the price. I don't know
where I stand
from a legal position, having the agreed upon configuration and
price on
paper, and them accepting and cashing my deposit check.
Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
