"fiesta ST 5.69% for 60 months finance vs 1.99% for abarth, 1.9% for 2013 GTI, 2.99% for veloster turbo, even a mini S only has a 3.9% rate....crazy Ford finance rate"
In a normal world, 5.68% on a car is awfully good. The other lower rates are being subsidized to some degree by the manufacturers as a sales incentive. Maybe the 3.99% generates some positive cash flow for Mini but not much. I don't know what the big guys pay for money but They can't be profiting from any rate under 3%.
Since, the Fiesta ST is probably a hot sales item, Ford isn't going to offer cash on the hood.
