dealership woes

i live in nj but purchased a car in pa. purchased car 1-19-01, informed i was financed, signed dealer contract which they also signed, signed retail installment contract stating the a.p.r,lenght of payment and amount of payment and signed all other paperwork including temp. registration which states my finance company. 7 days later, i contacted the dealership with my insurance info--- no problems.
spoke to the dealership the next week so i could fax them a copy of my down payment receipt as the cannot find theirs---no problems. payment due 2-19-01 and tags expire same day. i called on 2-22-01 and asked where were tags and payment book?? they said that i was not approved and to bring the car back! mind you this is over a month later and both i and the dealership signed all contracts. i contacted the supposed finance company and they agreed that it was not financed but added that the dealer should have never had me sign or the dealer should have never signed all contracts if it was not financed. can the dealer rescind a bound contract after 72 hours?? what are the legal aspects?? a car sales frind of mine said that what they did is illegal an to go after them... someone please help me

Car contract

If they signed the sales contract, then they are bound by it unless the contract, by its terms is not valid unless the financing was approved. If the dealership told you the financing had been approved, then that is their mistake, which was caused by their negligence and that should not be a grounds for their getting out of the contract.
