You are complaining because the car is a few weeks late? What are the damages you have suffered (other than to your mood since we all want our cars rightnow)? Ask the dealer where the car is physically. If its on a boat or at the reception center, they can estimate when you'll have it (but sometimes things just get delayed for reasons out of the dealer's control). If its not been produced yet, then maybe the dealer screwed up, which I think would only allow you to get out of the contract and not entitle you to anything else.

Sometimes dealers sell cars they don't have and know they won't get for a while. Each dealership is allocated only so many cars of certain types and he may have known you car might be delayed. The only way to make sure is to ask for specifics.... what is the VIN number, manufacture date, date it hit the dock, etc. In the US/CA car dealers are required to return a deposit on a car by law if the buyer asks for it prior to delivery. Not sure if this is true where you are.

ask for the VIN#. i've had my VIN# for a month now while I wait. that way you know the car didn't arrive and he got a better offer for your car....

your leverage is if he breached contract and if that clause breach affects the entire contract (talk to attorney if you really want to go this route). just makes contract null and void and threaten to go to another dealer. otherwise i'd just put the screws to him, get the VIN# and get a good location of where the car is.
