My gut feeling tells me something is wrong. First of all, the salesman I spoke to was definitely very experienced and knew what he was doing, several red flags were raised during negotiation. I went in and knew exactly what I wanted, he tried to bs me into buying whatever is available, then right when I was about to leave he acted all surprised and told me "oh I forgot, how silly of me, we can factory order one for you".

Finalized the deal, paid $2000 deposit and I said I wanted the car's vin number and was told I would get it in about 2 weeks. A month past and heard nothing from them. After another couple of weeks they told me they can't get it because the car is made in Japan and not the U.S. Sounds like a whole lot of bs to me.

When I went to the other dealer, I didn't bad mouth the first one at all, but I told them my situation and what I was told was pretty much "well we wouldn't do this, we don't know why they can't give you a vin number". The guy asked me what I wanted specifically and when to check what was in stock. Turns out they had one in Vancouver and one in Ottawa but they cannot sell it to me for the price that I negotiated, buy if I were willing to pay "a couple thousand more" they can get it for me in one day. They also told me they sold "3-4 after I bought mine and the all got it already". I'm not sure if it was a sales pitch or whatever because they told me in a hush-hush, friend to friend manner because they weren't allowed to steal business from another dealer, especially after I placed my order.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt and now the times up, I need some advice on where to take this. My guess is that they finalize the deal with me to reach a certain quota (they told me they needed 7 more sales and it was like 6:30pm on the last day of Feb). They didn't reach that quota and now doesn't want to sell the car to me at a price that noone else could match (I tried with at least 5 other dealers).

I don't want the deposit back and contract terminated after waiting for 3 months, I want the car.

EDIT: I posted a similar thread previously but that was when I was still in doubt and the 90 days have no passed yet, now I need some quick advice for negotiation tomorrow. Thanks guys.
If they can't fulfill your contract, hopefully you asserted in your contract to refund your $2k by tomorrow.
