A) you agreed to buy a vehicle. you did NOT buy a vehicle. in a spot delivery state you do not own that vehicle until you 1) drive it off the lot, and 2) your financing clears - which in your case means that your check clears and replaces the contract that you signed.
B) accidents happen pretty frequently at large dealerships. one of our guys drove the new T-bird (when there were only 14 expected with a waiting list of 200) right off a cement pad. the customer swore up and down that we were faking it because someone was willing to pay more.
C) yes there are slimebags in the car business. get over it. most people are just trying to make an honest living - the same as you. if they agreed to sell X vehicle for Y dollars, then they probably forgot about you and that vehicle the moment you left the Dlr. once an invoice is torn out of the book, it would have to be pretty extraordinary circumstances for them to hose you and sell it to someone else. there just isn't enough profit in those little trucks for them to care enough to bother creating stories.
D) when they find a replacement for you it will not be the exact same thing. there are hundreds of different option combinations. they will most likely offer you something with a little bit more on it, for a few more dollars. most likely they'll give it to you at invoice(don't mistake that for cost), just to make this all go away. you can take it or leave it, but just expect that they'll try to make a few extra dollars, but they will be prepared to lose a few extra dollars, too.
