I can only speak for my personal experience. When I went in to the dealer, in order to place an order for a specific model, color, and trim, I had to sign a purchase order, along with $1000 initial down payment. You negotiate the price and agree to buy ('remainder due at delivery') BEFORE they place an order. The dealer will not buy a $40k car for their lot without a firm contract.

The financing agreement, however, is part of that 'remainder' part, and is decided when the car comes in. In fact, I couldn't negotiate the final financing now, even if I wanted to. The loan agreement is only good for 30 days, so I will have to reapply for financing when the car is almost here.
