Ordered a used RV and found it much cheaper before delivery.

[BGAB]

We stopped by an RV dealership and the salesperson, after much discussion, showed us a used RV on the internet. We would have to wait for several days to see it because it was in another state but someone would drive it up to PA for us. We signed the purchase agreement, which included wording to the effect that we would accept the RV if it was as pictured. We gave them a down payment. After we left, we found the same exact model on the internet for $50,000 less!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that is fifty thousand dollars less than what we agreed to pay. We have not seen the RV yet, as it has not been delivered to the dealership. Can we break this contract? How??

Read the contract. I'm sure it describes the penalty for your breach. I see no way out for you, without getting stung. If you refuse to accept delivery, they'll probably end up suing you. I suggest you read the ENTIRE contract, focus on penalties for breaching the deal.
Then get their tribute ready, they'll want it.
Warning, the penalty for a breach may be very surprising. That's why you never sign a contract UNTIL you've sept on it and done your DUE DILIGENCE.

You should not have signed a purchase contact without seeing the vehicle. It seems that unless you find something wrong with it so that it is not as promised you may be on the hook.
That said, the penalty for backing out may be a lot better than paying 50k too much.

Thank you for your response.

What does "Then get their tribute ready, they'll want it." mean?

Yes, we know we were really stupid. We always wonder about people who do really, really, dump things...and now we know how they feel...and still don't understand how WE could do something like that.

There is nothing on the contract that says WHAT the penalty might be, but it does make it clear that we cannot back out. Surely there must be some recourse to stupidity.

Just curious... how do you know the one you found for 50k less is in the same condition as the one you signed for? Just because it is the same vehicle does not mean it has the same value. It could be a trashed RV while the one you signed for is in great condition?

That's a big difference in cost. As mightymoose asked, how do you know the vehicles are exactly the same when you have not seen either of them?

If that's true, you could CHOOSE to breach by not consummating the deal. If you did that, they'd have to sue you to get a judgment, and then they'd have to try and enforce it.

If they did that, they'd most likely order the court to require you to buy the vehicle, or seek damages. Those would amount to transportation expenses, etc... That would have to be proven up in court. Your call, sir or madam.
