Lawyers
I found a C7 advertised at 4500 off on a dealer web site, I contacted them and the car was available, inquired about the price they said it was correct so I told them I would buy and to email me a credit app, and I filled out, even the sales man said the price was correct. Then I get an email that the price was MSRP and the internet advertised price was nor correct. I told them not to process my application and my attorney would call their owner Monday, do I have a case to sell at internet price?

A complaint to the BBB and District Attorney might stir them up, but the chances of actually forcing them to honor it are quite slim and no attorney is going to want to take the case unless you front the cost. If it was me I'd contact the owner, and if no action file a complaint on-line with the BBB just to rattle their cage - but I would waste much time or effort.

For Pennsylvania I was taught Offer - Acceptance - Consideration; the three required prongs of a contract. On a state-by-state basis, contract law can be contradictory stuff. I doubt you will succeed, but an attorney will (probably) gladly take your money in the interim. No disrespect to you, but we're much too quick to engage lawyers these days. They made a mistake; I think you know it. Just let it go. Best case scenario, you'd likely spend that much just to prove your point. No winners in the end.

Probably not worth the hassle and expense to pursue this in court. File a complaint with the BBB, your state's Attorney General office, etc. and seek out a car at a forum dealer. If you want a C7 at $4500 off MSRP, I think you will have to wait a while.

This is an example and obviously not the dealer you are referring to. However, there is more than likely a disclaimer such as this on the web site. Which of course means no case.
Even if the salesman confirmed the price over the phone or via e-mail, they corrected the mistake before moving forward with the transaction.
