We have made a legal contract to purchase the car, but the car is not ours until we drive it off the lot. For example, if a tree fell on the car right now, it would be the dealer, not us that is responsible since we have yet to take delivery. I already purchased another hybrid this year, so I really hope that you are wrong. Thanks again!

I will try to say this in simple terms: If you have not received your copy of the Contract that I think you said Your Wife signed then You and Her (Have-Not) Legally Purchased anything.
If she or you signed the (Final-Paperwork/Contract) that the Dealer Runs through the Computer that You and Her would have signed on the (Bottom) and the dealer gave you Your Copies then you just (Legally) Purchased the HCH ll as long as it was not Damaged in Transit.
So; either you all have copies of this Final Contract/Purchase or you (Don'T), If you don't have any copies then you have not Legally Purchased anything. You just signed up to order a HCH ll From the Dealer and agreed on a Selling Price when the HCH ll Arrives.
It sounds like the Dealer is just locking in the sell to me. I was not there and therefore I do-not know what was signed by Her or You.
Does This Help?
Terry
BTW; Post 14 was information from the people at my dealership that process all (SOLD) vehicles. This was not My-Opinion.

I have my wife's copy of the contract, and yes, she did sign it and all the information, including price and vin number is typed out from the computer, but I have not signed, and will not until we pick up the car on the 1st. I do not know if they would be willing to cancel this sale contract and do another at that point, but it will be worth asking.

I would if I were you take that paperwork/contract straight (Saturday-Morning) when they open and get it (cancelled). I would say though that they have turned that unit in as a (SOLD) car since they had the Vin # to put on the Contract.
I wish you the "Best-Of-Luck" on this.
Terry
Meaning; if that Contract has a (Sold-Date) of Dec. 2005 then that vehicle was purchased Legally in 2005 (NOT-2006). Does this make since? You may take delivery in Jan. 2006 but you Purchased it in Dec. 2005. I think Nasa which is the next Post under this could be right. Your wife has signed a (Buyers-Order) and placed a Deposit on the HCH ll, Not the Real-Final-Contract: Hopefully

IMHO, you haven't actually finalized the deal until you pay for the car (either in total or completed financing), not just signed a deposit contract.

I agree, I think we will be fine. The only contract we have is a truth in lending contract. Nothing is signed by them, just my wife, and they have already said I need to sign to make it complete. I think when we go in they will change the contract since we are having some addons done at the dealership, so the price will change, unless they try to charge us seperately (leather steering wheel cover and auto dim mirror). Also, I think I will just pay for the car outright so I think the old contract will be void or at least need some updating. I will contact them tomorrow morning (they are about 90 miles away, so hopefully they will handle this over the phone). I'll let you know what happens. Thanks! Brian

Another thing. If you claim a credit and the IRS ever audits you, you can show them the official registration with a 2006 date. They'll have to accept that as sufficient documentation, and they will have no reason to doubt you unless you go out of your way to shoot yourself in the foot.

I’ll be buying in January. My hope is a magnetic pearl with nav. I'm a little odd here, in that I won't be waiting for '06 for delivery attempting to get a better rebate, rather I won't have the cash saved up until then .
cheers,
Erik
