[NewQ]

I put in for a build slot for a highly customized i7.

The terms looked great on paper today, but my build will switch to a 2025 since it’s end of the 2024 model year; new terms will kick in and the terms could change even more once I’m ready to take delivery in 6 months.

Realistically, does anyone have any experience or knowledge of how much this might change? How much might manufacturer rebates shrink between now and mid year into the next model year? Or interest rate changes? And how soon would we know?

Dealer wanted $10K non-refundable down. I said no, so we decided on $5K refundable down now and the other $5K for the total nonrefundable once production starts.
