This. I have both the price (no higher than msrp) and my place in line (#1 for allocated cars) in writing from the dealership. That writing was my condition at the time for giving them a deposit. Since then, they have received much more interest and are developing a much longer list. They do not show any signs of trying to renege, to their credit. The only satisfactory proof of their good faith, though, will be giving me what they have promised when the blessed time comes.
