I am the wife, actually. I found the car when my husband was away on a business trip. The deal was conditional on making sure my husband could comfortably get in and out of the bucket seats. My SA suggested to come back and do finance app next day when we are certain the seats are okay for him. It's also a GT car as I hate SUV's and only want 3 pedals. Thanks for your input though!

Wow...what makes you entitled to see any proof? And why does the OP need to provide proof when she was simply looking for "Advice" or "thoughts"?? She didn't come here and say "Adamant1971 I need your help specifically" or "Members, please help me bash dealer xxxx to get a better deal"...

Im doubtful the other buyer had a deposit down because when my SA was doing the paperwork he said that nothing was marked down and car was available. They have told me the mistake was that the other SA and buyer put the deposit down on the wrong car in their system - which has alarm bells ringing to me.

It seems they had a firm purchase. In life ca$h is king. GBX996 needed to make sure her husband could fit in the seats before she applied for financing. If I were the dealer I would take the ca$h as well.
GBX996; most cars that are tracked especially gt cars are better maintained and if it is a gt car would have had the coolant pipes fixed already as well as some track bits. Oh and I thought you said the options you want only come up every year or so and the car they have doesn't have the right options? Wow you really are confused here. And what did you come here for? you wanted some sympathy and someone to tell you to call omvic as the dealer owes you a car? why not just call OMVIC yourself in the first place?

why are you assuming the other buyer paid in cash when that was never stated? I also never said that the options I want only come up every year, I said there isnt a directly comparable option to replace the car I missed out on; either it will have same options but high mileage or low mileage and no options. Not sure why youve come here to be a massive dick but Id really appreciate if you took it elsewhere as you arent adding any insight whatsoever to my situation.

Give a girl a break, will ya.
gbox996, like on any car forum, flybys are not very welcome by the regulars. Unless you properly introduce yourself with pictures (of a car) some will go as far as attacking you (see above), or making a mockery of your thread (see above) or even get the mods to delete or close your thread. Welcome to Rennlist Canada! However, majority here would be happy to help when you have a real problem. Perhaps what some are trying to say is that yours isnt. I can totally understand how upset you are though. Unfortunatly, car business is a very dirty business. The dealer sold the car to whomever they wanted to, regardless who was or was not there first. They all do this. Nothing can be done.
Good luck with your search,
Stan

Literally this afternoon I heard of another dealer selling a Cayman a customer was looking at to someone who walked in and was prepared to buy immediately. Happens all the time...if dealers waited for every tom, dick and harry to check with their wife, girlfriend, boyfriend etc. they wouldn't be in business.
Sucks...but I'd move along and be prepared to act if you spot the car you like regardless of wife, girlfriend or boyfriend.

Thank you! I didnt think my situation would stir up such a ridiculous amount of drama - just wondering if anyone else had been in a situation where a dealer reneged on a sales contract. Was also hoping if I took the dealer up on their less than ideal CPO alternative I could negotiate new allocation but they were very noncommittal. I will just take my business elsewhere and feel thankful this situation revealed all that it did.

Hope you find something else that works for you and come back when you do
