Is a car dealer legally bound to sell a car if they advertise it at the wrong price.
I found an ad for a $199.00 car. It probably was supposed to be $199.00 per month, but it did not say that. The other cars in the ad all were priced at some amount per month.

Under your situation I don't think so. A person would not be expected to believe that a car is selling for $199 (especially if it is new). Furthermore, by your own admission, you figured out that is was probably an error because all the other cars were listed at a price per month. So logically, one can deduce that it was meant to be $199 per month like all the other cars.
