I literally never told them I had another GM vehicle in my household and the buyers contract had a $1500 discount on it, but I just thought that was an amount they were giving me because of the haggling. All of a sudden im faced with an extra $1500 fee. It boiled down to the sales lady just trying to get me all the discounts she could and thought that would fly under the radar. Well it didn't. But she did make $1000 of that disappear and I just gave them an additional $500. I was cool with that because it really was both of our faults. Hers for trying that and mine for not questioning where that extra rebate came from. I think in the op' s case, at the very least they should all share the blame and the cost. It's partly his fault and partly the dealership' s fault.

Your situation could be considered a scam, as the dealer and their salesman misrepresented what you thought was a legitimate negotiated price, and that is what you based your decision to purchase on...and why they were willing to still reduce the price afterwards.
The OP , however, knew the price was lower due to an error and a discount that he did not qualify for. He would have bought anyway had the price been correctly stated with the supplier pricing, which would have been higher, not employee discount. He has suffered no harm, other than the request of the dealer that he pay the actual negotiated price for which he was qualified to receive...
Good for you for being honest. The OP's honesty remains to be seen....
