Answer
Diana,

Thanks for your question.  The dealership is correct, unfortunately.  Most dealerships will not let you back out of a car deal once you take delivery of the vehicle.  As long as the dealer did not put in writing, or display the vehicle as 4WD when it isn't, then the dealership did nothing wrong.  I know you don't want to hear this, but it is your, the consumer's, responsibility to make sure that the vehicle is what you want, not the dealerships.  Now, with that being said, I would offer this option to the dealership.  I would call the dealership's General Manager and explain the situation.  Offer to purchase another vehicle from them, but just not that one, because you need 4WD.  More than likely they will agree to that, as long as they get to still have a car deal out of it.  

I hope this helped.

Thanks - JB
