Dealer sent me a message that I would not see the XE Sport in June as first planned; it is currently showing up 'in inventory' (whatever that means) for a July 22nd or earlier delivery.
I advised them to let me know the VIN number once its available so I can track it.

I was advised today that the 'finance' rates for the XE will be announced tomorrow, at least this for Canada and I assume the U.S.A. rates, if not already out, will be released as well.

Won't finance rates be contingent on individual's credit score, down payment amount, length of finance term etc?

 

I think it will be fairly standard and exceptions will end up having to find other ways to finance.. They will likely come out with loan rates and lease rates at the same time.
My plan was to pay cash, however, if the rates are really good, with no load on the agreed price, I might go for it. Will know more tomorrow.

I agree with putting as much down as possible to take the monthly payment down, and usually the finance rate improves.
