Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

I got a car from a buy here pay here, type dealership. First the car was lo-jacked, which I want to know if that is legal. Your car would not operate if you missed a payment, had to punch in a code after each payment. Two, the dealer refused to tell me the final purchase price, until we signed the paperwork. Then we left the dealership, and headed to the gas station...The car broke. We attempted to have them fix it four times by their "certified mechanics". The car still kept breaking. We asked to just transfer the loan to a different vehicle in the same price range, they said no. We asked for our down payment back, they said no. So now with a broke car, I just told them they can have it back. The main point of this is they put it down as a voluntary repossession on my credit. I am disputing it with the creditors, but wanted to know if my argument is valid on a legal state. Or did I just get duped?
