I think you need to check with an attorney in your area, to be certain, and there may be other relief you can get as well. One place to find a qualified lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
You're not likely to get a new vehicle. You didn't have a new vehicle, you had an undamaged used car with 1,420 miles on it. The loss of value, because the vehicle's been in a collision, is usually too indefinite to get paid for in court. Having it fixed by the dealer might, or might not, be reasonable -- this is the kind of question you need to ask your lawyer, so you should try to get one hired as soon as possible.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
