Not that I'm convinced yet that the 300 rally will be something to seriously consider, but since seeing that it was actually coming in small numbers, I was wondering what does it take to be put on a waiting list. I'm assuming some sort of deposit is required? How much is this usually? Is this refundable if you change your mind, or if the price is not what you expected?

When I bought my bakkie, I got the feeling that they don't like the cash idea, and that they'd prefer you finance. I guess that makes sense for the brand if you finance "in-house", but how does this benefit the dealership? Would someone financing get "higher on the list" than someone buying cash, the other way around, or does it make no difference?
