If the vehicle they sold you was a trade in, and the previous owner did not disclose the damage, and they did not catch it, you should get all of your money back, and go somewhere else. Obviously they don't check their used cars out thoroughly! If they knew about the damage and did not disclose it to you, you have a legal case if you want to take it to court. Proving they knew could be difficult, but not impossible. Make sure none of the paperwork has a disclosure statement...even the fine print...disclosing the damage.
Be firm with your demands, don't make idle threats, be prepared to carry out any threat if you make them...Better business bureau, court etc. Once you have your money back. Be even more demanding...if they want the sale, they will be more accommodating...if they don't want the sale, you are probably better off going somewhere else, they obviously don't care or take pride in their business practices.

This actually happened to one of my friends wife. She bought a car that was about 3 years old. When she got it home her husband noticed hail damage all over the car. She called a lawyer for advice. He said she could either pay for it, or carry it back because of the hail damage. When she took it back the dealer tried to deny the hail damage. Then she said, "Let's call my lawyer and see if he can see it". In about 30 mins they put her in a newer car for the same price that they were going to sell her the other car for.
I would report this for the reason that they know what they are getting when they buy it. It should have had a salvage title with it. The other reason being that they are trying to make a profit from a lie.

It might help you if you contact the Dealer's Division of Vehicle Licensing in your state. All dealers, new and used, must follow guidelines and laws, apparently you found out the car had been totalled or insurance destroyed at some point, and brought that knowledge to their attention, I think they need a bit of attention from their local dealer auditor. I don't think they can legally hold you into financing anyt hing with them, if the first deal fell through, for whatever reason. You need someone to back you, good luck.

are they buying it back for what you paid for it? you can always take your business somewhere else. it wouldn't hurt to talk with a lawyer. I'm not sure what the particulars are here, but the dealer is going to make a profit. if you can prove the law was broken you got em. make sure they are aware of the trouble you've been through.

If they are buying the car back, are they giving you the same amount that you paid for it?? I wouldn't want to buy another car from them myself. I would take their check and go to another dealer and buy something else from a reputable guy.
