Round these parts we hang people with their own balls in their mouths for stunts like that. I'm just saying.
Seriously though, as others have stated. Get an attorney ASAP. The dealership giving you the run around is them hoping you will just take a settlement from the insurance and go away, but that's not what you need to do.
I hate this happened to you.

Screw that. They have to pay. I mean as a former business owner myself, now I wasn't in the car business, but if something like this had happened on my watch, I would have told the customer don't worry about it, let's see what the insurance does and then our company will make the rest right for you. If I owned the dealership I would simply tell you to order a 2014 brand new, when they let you start ordering again, and whatever the insurance paid would be enough and the dealership would eat the rest.
That's just me, let's hope these jokers do the right thing.
And if I were the dealership, I would want the joker that did it in jail. I would be the one pressing charges.

BTW, has the dealership already said that they won't give you a newer car? They should be going overboard to make this up to you.

One of the local news stations in Birmingham, AL for years has done "Fox6 On Your Side" and they covered exactly this sort of thing for people. Contact local news agencies as BigBoyBlue said, those people don't want to see their named smeared all over the place.
This is a big forum, and we all know people all over the country, if it doesn't get resolved to your satisfaction quickly enough then we'll mount a campaign, we'll just put them out of business. I believe we can do it.
