"In most cases the purchase of a car is difficult enough, but to go home and find out that products were sold to you with out you knowing or even being told of the sale and then CHARGED thousands of dollars extra is simply devastating."
What you are describing is standard practice in the industry. The finance guy makes his living by selling you a bunch of crap that you don't need, and playing with the numbers on the contracts.

How is it that this suddenly became apparent at home, yet not when you were signing the contracts? The usual answer is that the contracts were signed without having read them.
" Third File a small claims action"
Unless you're alleging forgery, this will not do much good. The dealer will show up with contracts with your signature on them. In court, a written and signed contract takes precedence over "He told me this" or "He told me that".
Like I said, I have no doubt you were sold things you did not agree to buy (verbally). I've never purchased a vehicle where the finance guy didn't try to sneak things into the contract. It's something that you have to watch out for an any car dealer. They know that once you've signed on the dotted line, there is not much you can do about it other than complain.
