Learn to think less with your head and more from your heart. Having a heart to heart conversation even with a total stranger or a regular acquaintance for that matter will prove surprisingly beneficial in business and social situations. It builds immense trust in a short time.
The problem is you can never really know who appreciates that sort of approach.
Some people don't valued being well liked as much as they value being right, and so they tend to be very suspicious of those who don't make carefully calculated decisions.
Regardless of all that, it seems the op has benefitted from your intervention, and that can only be a good thing.

I think that's probably very good advice when dealing with folks of a similar mindset.

I called the dealer and told him to look at this of a thread thread and work it out with his customer.

I live in Texas, but I bought my last Corvette in Oklahoma. I paid the dealer the money for the car and he gave me the bill of sale and other documents required to register the car. I handled the tax, title and license in Texas myself. It seemed like a clean way to do it and I had the car registered almost immediately. Dealers dealing with out of state entities may not be sure of what they are getting into and my make mistakes as it sounds like this one did.

I believe this is a tax issue.
The OP said he gave them two addresses. The one where he lives, and the one on his drivers licence, which he has not changed even though he has lived somewhere else for 3 years (illegal).
He also quoted the dealer when he challenged them with talking to an attorney (false information) who asked if he told his attorney about the two addresses.
I'm guessing the dealer calculated sales tax based on one address, and in the end found out the car would be registered somewhere else with a higher tax rate and needs to be made whole.
I don't think the dealer is trying to swindle anyone, just be made whole for sales tax paid to the state. I think the OP needs to pay.
I could be totally off base, but this is how i read the original post.

There is a term called errors and omissions. Every car contract includes this. It basically states that if either of the above occurs you owe the difference. If they made a math error or omitted a cost you will have to pay it. If on the other hand they just want a higher price for the car you can tell them to pound sand!

It’s quite simple. If the tags cost 5000 and you paid them 4300 you owe them 700. The dealer process fee is irrelevant.
