I bought a car from a dealership, they let me take it home and asked for *, which I have gave them the money. Now they want the car back and they want to keep the money, they are telling me I rented the car but I never signed a contract
It sounds like you're dealing with a potentially fraudulent situation. In many jurisdictions, a sale without a signed contract still has legal standing, especially if money has exchanged hands and the item has been delivered.
Could you please let me know your location (city/state) to provide more specific guidance?
