I bought my car from them too. Go back and talk with them. If the fix the blinkers (hazzard switch, mine does it too). And you like the car, then you did OK. 
GO have some fun with those old tires.

My main issue is the fact they're guilty of false advertising. I'm pretty sure that's fairly frowned upon in the legal world.
If I have to get a lawyer to solve this problem, I will.

The 500.00 they gave you towards tires will only buy about 1.25 tires. You really should take it back.

First see if they will honor their listed price and work with you on tires and getting the electrical problems fixed otherwise...

They've ripped me off, and I don't wish to deal with them any further. That's just plain and blatant false advertising to get people in.
Bait and switch.
I rescind even calling them nice. Just like all auto dealerships, they're nice to your face, so I'm not sure how that's any different.

Good luck.
Contrary to what many people believe, there is no automatic right to cancel a valid contract, even if done within 3 days. Only certain types of contracts come with a "3-day right of rescission", such as health club contracts or some sales of goods or services made at your home. In order to cancel such a contract, you must give written notice of cancellation to the seller within 3 business days of your signing the cotnract. A lawyer will be able to tell you if a particular contract comes with such a right to cancel.

I would tell them to fix all the problems, replace the tires, and honor the ad price. If not, I would contact a lawyer.

Whether or not it's true for used automobiles in Florida, I do not know, and can't seem to find out.
Either way, I've got them nailed for bait and switch / false advertising. I think they'll cave.

But take the car back and get out of this deal as quick as possible.
Good luck.
