Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Used Car Fraud
About a month back, I purchased a used car from a local
dealer for $5500. I made a down payment of $4000 and I
planned to pay the remainder amount in montly
installments. As soon as I bought the car, the car
developed some problems and within 2 hours of the purchase
I took the car back to the dealer. I tried to convince him
to take the car back but he refused since I had bought the
car ''AS IS''. Finally he asked me to leave the car on his
lot and told me that if he sold it to someone else for
$5500 he will give back my money. But unfortunately I did
not get a written promise from him. He sold the car to
somebody. But when I asked him my money back he told me
that he will not give it back and asked me to take a car
instead. He was extremely rude to me. He threatened me
that if I take legal action he will say that he repossesed
my car because I defaulted on my first monthly payment and
he will charge me for parking my car on his lot for one
month. I tried to buy another car from him but he is not
ready to sale any other car also at a fair price. Please
advice me on my rights.
