Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia

Auto dealer refuses to return downpayment for a vehicle that was not purchased or ordered by me. I was baited with one vehicle and refused financing, but offered a more expensive vehicle (Bait & Switch). No paperwork was signed other than for a credit report. Dealer states that they had to transport vehicle from California and it needs to be paid for.
