Dealer has offered to exchange my car - is this fair?

The dealership as offered to exchange my car after lying to me about its history but he said he is looking for the right one because my car would of gone down in value in the past 3 months.

Sounds a bit unfair to me, would like your thoughts on it please.

That's fair because you have had the use of your car for the past 3 months. You can't reasonably expect to have owned and run it for 3 months for nothing.
