The simple answer is find a new dealer because this one sounds like a Looser with a capitol L.
The policy on the refund of the deposit is up to the dealer. If that's their policy and you do it, then you're pretty much stuck with it. However by law you're not required to take purchase of the car, if it arrives and you don't like it you can reject the car.
You know, for being such a well respected dealer network, it really sounds like the Saturn dealers are actually a bunch of money grubbers. Up until these last several months hearing members having to pay large deposits on non-refundable deposits for Solstices, and having to pay over MSRP was pretty much non-existant. From all the posts people making here though it seems 90% of the Saturn dealers are trying to charge over MSRP and are screwing people over on the deposit side.
