Breach of contract when there was a written agreement that we see in the cited case is clearly on the dealer. On the other hand he did already agree to pay a "very very high" markup so he opened the door for them to try for even more.

All the people with orders at several dealers are also inflating the perceived demand for the car which forces the prices up even more.

All in all both parties are responsible.
Wait wait wait, so when a customer and dealer come to an agreement on a markup, the car arrives, and the dealer raises the markup, both parties are at fault?

But when both parties agree to a non refundable deposit, but the buyer backs out and wants a refund and the dealership says no deal, it’s just the customers fault? That was your argument earlier.

Agreements were signed in both cases…so I think the dealer is also at fault for offering non refundable deposits.

At least I’ve been consistent with my position.
