Until money changes hands and you have a signed agreement there is no deal.
Not all dealers are bad. I recently bought a 04 996 Targa from a small dealer and her was a pleasure to deal with. He was 100 miles away and one weekend I drove up to look at the car and test drove it. A week later I decided I wanted the car. Didi the negotiating over the phone, gave them a deposit over the phone with a CC and arraigned for a local PPI at a P-car Indy .
Within an hour of running the credit card, they took the listing down from their website, Craigslist, cars.com and autotrader.
While tour dealer wasnt asking for a deposit, had you insisted on giving them one and got a written deal, it would have been different
I sold cars for a little while and one we had an agreement on the deal and a handshake at the table it was a deal, even if there was someone else in the showroom trying to make a deal on the same car for more money.
YMMV with car dealers, some are honest and some are not
