What to do if a dealership wants us to come back to renegotiate final agreed price on a new that we already have home for 2 days?
We bought a new car and signed the payment agreement as you usually do but now, 2 days later, we got a call from the dealership saying all the numbers were messed up and they need us to come back to renegotiate; otherwise the registration will be held up. Is it legal for them to do this? What recourse do we have so they don’t increase the price of the car?

Under the laws of all states you are under no legal obligation to go back to the car dealership and re-negotiate a binding contract that is clearly to you advantage and to the disadvantage of the car dealership. You have a written contract signed by you and the delearship's representative. I would let matters stay as they are.
If the car dealership refuses to transfer registration of the car to you, I would consult with an attorney that practices in the area of automotive law to assist you on your legal recourse.
