You know what - if things don't improve for you, you can do one of two things, besides chasing the dealer down:
1. Call/Write to the BBB (complain!) and ask them what you can do.
2. Call/Write to the Attorney General about the issues you seem to be having with this no-good dealer. $9000!! WTF!

Make sure you have ALL paperwork and documentation with clear dates. Make a short summary to strengthen your case, and quote from people who can back you up.
Best of luck, and I really hope you're able to resolve your problem.
