Default 2008 GT/CE new problem with bent valve-help

I just bought a new 08 GT/CE (california Edition) and with less than 100 miles on it i heard a ticking and brought it immediatley to the dealer ( i had not even finished the purchasers paperwork yet as they let me take it home for a night) and they told me that the valve was bent because somehow oil was not put in the car at the dealer. (they bought the car from another dealer because they did not have that car in stock). Anyway i do not know alot about cars and want to find out what the possible ramificatios can be. The dealer assurred me that they will fix it and it will be fully documented in my warranty documents but i am unsure of whether i should even take delivery of the car after its fixed. Please any advice you can give is appreciated. I do not even know what a bent valve is or how it may affect the engine.

thanks in adavance

I would walk away from that car and find something else. If I'm buying a new car it better not have to have warranty work done before I sign the papers to purcahse it.
