You would have to consult with an attorney to know for certain if you had any legal way to hold your brother responsible. That said, he most likely is not legally responsible for anything, given that he didn't sign any contact. Courts tend not to enforce verbal agreements like this, especially when it essentially boils down to two brothers engaged in a he-said-he-said argument. Unfortunately for you, you did sign a contract with the dealer, so the dealer may keep you on the hook for this car.
So if you are interested in finding the specific legalities involved in this transaction, such as who can be held responsible for what, I suggest you consult with an attorney in your area. The American Bar Association (ABA) has a terrific website that can connect you to a free attorney-referral service in your area, including those that specialize in helping people with limited financial resources. Visit abanet.org
and simply select the state in which you live to find the legal service providers in your home state. The ABA's website also has additional self-help information and contact information that may help you with this situation.
Best of luck, I hope that the information I have provided helps you Find. Learn. Save.
Best,
Bill
