Kaps' theory would only work if OP ended up with VIN# C. Clearly they didn't. Nothing shady, just a serious paperwork mix up.
What would have happened if I had driven off with the GT even though my bill of sale was for a different car? Sorry for the long post, but this was kind of funny.
The dealer would have found the mistake, asked you for the car back, and called their attorney if you failed to return it. It's a unilateral mistake of fact.
FYI to all those thinking this could have ended any other way, the law favors the injured party in cases like this. You don't get to just take advantage of honest mistakes when it's obvious you know better. The dealer would have found their copy of the original sale and used that as proof the OP should have known it wasn't their car.
No harm here since the OP is an honest person. I would extract freebies from the dealer for the wasted time.
Not sure how the licencing is getting done in your state, but where we are you get a car from the lot with license plate on it, whether provided by you or the dealer, included in price...

Okay, I read the first post correctly too. The other responses seemed to be replying to something other than what you posted. That's why I wondered if they had more information from another thread, as opposed to just being dense and rude.
Dealer isn't going to spend 2 grand in lawyer fees for a 3,000 dollar mistake.
I do. I absolutely do. My firm only asks for retainers for Divorces or Criminal Cases. None of our larger business clients are asked for Retainers. They are billed as work is performed.Dealer like has attorney on retainer, so the money's spent. Threat to sue will be enough as customer lawyer would know they couldn't win. This would never get to court.
No business is going to let someone get away with something of this magnitude and then blab all over town about it. Were I the dealer, I would give freebies to the customer and take them out of the guilty employee's hide if they weren't a stellar performer.
Car dealers routinely hose people $50 at a time. Do you really think they'd eat a grand or more?

I've seen a lot of companies lose much more then that to avoid larger kisses or to simply not look like assholes.
IMO, OP did the right thing. I would have too. But I think Deb could be driving a GT right now.

LOL. I hope y'all know I meant losses up there...not kisses.
