Good luck
This is actually not legal but is fairly common. If you are financing the car then the dealer represents to the lender that a down has been taken and secured gaurantying no other leins could be placed on the car....I suppose the legal term would be "fraud". Most lenders won't do anything unless a problem actually arises, some won't even allow a credit card down payment because it can skew FICO scores and/or create another lien type situation.
FYI
