Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

I co-signed a purchase of sale in a Jacksonville Florida with a car dealer for my son 4 weeks ago. We had problems with securing a loan because I live in South Carolina and he lives in Florida. However, a few days ago the finance person at the dealership told my son they had secured a loan. At the request of the dealer, my son post dated a check for his first months car payment. The dealer is financing the extended warranty and my son has made his first installment on an extended warranty as well. Today we received notice that the car dealer is cancelling the deal. They are asking for the immediate return of the vehicle. They claim that they will return any down payment and the trade-in vehicle.
My questions are: 1) does Florida law allow the dealer to cancel the sale of the car 4 weeks after the sale. They insisted he take the vehicle the day he "bought" it. Despite the fact he did not give them any down payment or the trade-in vehicle on that day. (He since has done so.) 2) What rights do we have as the consumer in this situation?

whether the deal can be canceled depends entirely on the terms of the contract. look for a paragraph that deals with the issue.
