More details to this question:
I purchased a vehicle from a dealership in Florida for my business. I put down 15,000. They gave me possession of the.vehicle and the financing fell through. They offered to finance me for 6 months then I put down another 5,000. When my first payment became due I had difficulty making a payment of +4,000. I decided to cut my losses at this point. They now want to charge me 1,100 a week in rental fees plus other miscellaneous fees

Its likely part of the sales contract. Did you think you could just use their vehicle for your business for free when you broke the contract? Read your paperwork in detail. Be aware that the alternative may involve a lawsuit for your breaching the sales agreement.
