The first place to look is the contracts your brother agreed to when signing and taking the car. Most likely, they allow the dealer to get the car back if appropriate financing cannot be obtained.

Re: car dealership

Sure, your brother needs to learn how to buy a car. You always need to go to a bank in advance and get preapproved. When you try and finance at a dealer, usually you sign a conditional contract (the condition being getting approved by a lender). It is a great way to lose financially and is not the way people should buy cars.

Arrange financing before you ever see a dealer, then, if they can beat those terms and get you approved, then and only then do you let them finance things.
