Thank you for the responses. I guess I haven't been very clear. My dealer did tell me that if the vehicle came in on the last day of the rebate, he could still get me the rebate even if we didn't sign the papers until the next day. What prevents them from doing the opposite and telling me the vehicle didn't come in on time (even though it did) and us completing the deal 2 or 3 days later (and the dealer keeping the rebate)?
I haven't paid for the vehicle yet. I don't expect to get the rebate if the truck truly never did show up and we close the deal after the cut-off date. However, if the above scenario is possible, I would have more negotiating power to take off the $500 from the selling price if I know it was true.
