Ordinarily, that would be fraud, but from the credit card co. standpoint, you accept responsibility once you make a purchase on that card, in most cases. It will report good and/or bad on your credit once you begin usage. Just keep the card very secure for fraud purposes, that can get very messy if someone gets ahold of that info.

Is it legal for a used car dealership to run your credit more than once without your permission?

Technically, it may be legal depending on the circumstances. A business does not need your express permission to run your credit, but must have a "permissable purpose" for doing so. Credit card companies may re-check your credit to determine continued creditworthiness, car companies can run it several times for several potential lenders, and your employer may run it for background. If the company you are referring to did not have a permissable purpose the second time, it might not be legal.
