IANAL but I'm almost certain beyond a doubt that they legally can't force you to use any financing from them. What if you wanted to pay cash?

They can require their financing for promo rates, etc, but a blanket no outside financing is questionable at best.

And what would lead you to believe this?

Dealers can definitely mandate that they use their own financing, as long as the financing does not fall afoul of any kind of discrimination (IE, credit has to be extended in a way that is not discriminatory) or usury laws in the state and municipality in which they're operating.
