It was smart to include a VIN number on the contract. I have two friends who got ripped off by paying a deposit and signing an agreement for a car promised by the dealer. One guy, who used a buying service, waited 6 weeks to get the car and it was the wrong color and didn't have a sunroof. The dealer said the car he ordered had been sold by mistake by the other dealer and that the car they delivered was equal to the one the guy ordered. The dealer refused to refund the $1,000 deposit claiming that the deposit was a delivery charge. He even had the nerve to offer fabric protection as a substitute for the sunroof.
