I had that concern about my current order (that I might have to cancel) and asked a good friend of mine who worked in a number of different dealerships what the score is.
He believed that although it is a "Deposit", dealerships don't have the right to take the money from you. If you paid your deposit by credit card - have a chat to the card company about it - most give free legal advice on that sort of thing.
Besides that though - he also said that most dealerships won't try and take your deposit unless you are really messing them about - and it doesn't sound like you are.
Also, if it's not being delievered til next month, it's unlikely it's been built yet, and won't be if you get in quick - so all the dealership has really lost is a slot - not a car to try and sell on.
I'd be open about it and have a chat with them - at least you'll know in the back of your mind that you have options available if they say no.
Hope that helps - and that you can re-order later
