Good point to bring up: timely delivery. I wonder if a clause can be inserted into the sales contract stipulating a financial penalty to the seller if delivery in not made on time? I do much the same to general contractors when they do work. Hearing your tale I'll definitely look into it ahead of time:(.
A simple entry of required delivery date and a statement of "time is of the essence" is all it takes. If delivery date isn't met, the contract is invalid. If the dealer won't agree with it, try to negotiate a discount for days late. If they won't do either, WALK.
